Tailor-made The South Pacific: Introduction

Divinely beautiful under the tropical sun, the tiny islands of the South Pacific are scattered across thousands of miles of deep, blue ocean. Powdery white beaches glow against luminous turquoise waters, rich with a vibrant underwater world, while sheer mountains rise out of lush rainforests in remote, isolated ecosystems.

The ancient cultures that settled the South Pacific have left a legacy of an innate friendliness, and the tradition of welcome still abounds in Pacific societies today. The remoteness of these islands has allowed distinct and diverse cultures to develop and visitors will witness timehonoured rituals, exciting performances of song and dance and many gastronomic delights. The unrivalled beauty of the natural world invites extensive exploration and the experiences are limitless. Above water the fragrant forests are perfect for trekking, and yachting is a wonderful way to explore the many secret coves and lagoons. A dip under the water reveals bright soft corals and swirling schools of tropical fish.

For many visitors it is simply allowing the days to melt away on your very own picture-postcard beach, pampered in a luxurious resort, which proves irresistible. It is this combination of culture and comfort, adventure and escape that makes the South Pacific so enchanting.
