Whether you are an avid scuba diver in search of crystal clear waters, a nature-lover looking for the best hikes with ocean vistas or simply looking for a relaxing holiday with fantastic value, we have put together the Top Holiday Destinations in the South Pacific.

Cook Islands

Cook Islands holidays have something for everyone so it makes sense that this group of islands makes an appearance at the top of the list! The main island, Rarotonga, will only take 45 mins to travel around the circumference but this little island packs a punch in terms of activities, beauty and value. You can easily have breakfast watching the sunrise and enjoy a sundowner cocktail by the ocean on the other side of the island every day! Water-babies are well catered for with a choice of kayak tours, fishing charters, SUP safaris, lagoon cruises and scuba diving. Why not take a short flight out to Aitutaki for picturesque white sand beaches and snorkelling with Giant Trevallys! For those that like to stay dry, you can’t miss the Raro Buggy Tours, nightlife tours, cultural village tours, overwater cultural night with dinner included and so much more. If you’re looking for an adventure experience, take a flight to Atiu, a coral atoll with impressive caves and unique flora & fauna. The Cook Islands offer accommodation options from budget to luxury and everything in between, so you can be sure that one of our Spacifica Consultants will be able to find the perfect fit for your stay.

Norfolk Island

Norfolk Island holidays are also another small island at only 5 kilometres x 8 kilometres, but you certainly won’t be resting on your laurels (unless that’s exactly your holiday style of course!). With a rich island heritage of early island settlement through to descendants of the Mutiny on the Bounty and penal colonies, Norfolk Island is a place of deep historical & cultural significance. The locals are proud of this fact and joining one of the many tours on offer is an absolute must-do! Although the history may have been turbulent, the island today is a pristine paradise with beautiful Norfolk Pine Trees lining the roads leading you to crystal clear waters, rolling green pastures and impressive lookouts. Take an early morning hike up Mount Pitt, visit the lush botanic gardens or take a boat trip out to Phillip Island to truly embrace the impressive natural beauty of Norfolk Island. Spacifica Travel offers fantastic value Norfolk Island packages with car hire so you can drive around the island at your own pace and take it all in!

Fiji

With over 330 islands to explore, Fiji has an experience for everyone! Immerse yourself in the welcoming Fijian culture by enjoying a village visit, taste local flavours like the signature raw fish & coconut dish, Kokoda, or partake in a Kava ceremony. The Fijian people are some of the friendliest in the South Pacific with multiple dialects and customs. Fiji’s natural beauty is just as diverse. From majestic waterfalls and dense rainforests to white sand beaches and turquoise waters, the natural beauty of Fiji is breathtaking. Take advantage of a tour to visit some of these hidden gems! There are plenty of resorts that offer stunning snorkelling right off the beach. Some of our favourite snorkelling spots are Mamanuca Islands or the Coral Coast. Divers are spoilt for choice with stunning colourful soft coral spots but our favourites are off Taveuni, Yasawa Islands or RakiRaki. For the brave divers, we recommend shark experiences off Kadavu or Beqa Lagoon. If you simply want to rest & relax, there’s nothing better than sitting poolside with a cocktail in hand in a picturesque Fijian resort or perhaps let the tension slip away with an island-style Lomi Lomi massage!

Vanuatu

Less than 3 hours flight from Australia’s East Coast, Vanuatu is the perfect holiday destination for us Aussies because you can spend less time in the air and more time on holiday! You’ll have to keep coming back though because there are so many things to discover! A Vanuatu holiday package would be incomplete without a twilight visit to Mount Yasur (one of the most active volcanos in the world) & a tribe experience in Tanna. Espiritu Santo boasts white sand beaches, natural springs and waterfalls, creating the ideal backdrop for the adventure traveller or those seeking something a little different. Efate is home to the nation’s capital, Port Vila – a bustling melting pot of cultures & traditions. This harbour town also has a vibrant nightlife and restaurants to discover. Take a tour to the beautiful Mele Cascades waterfalls or hire a car and explore Efate’s stunning beaches, lagoons & rainforests at your own pace.
