The Pacific Ocean is the largest geographical feature on earth, larger than all the land areas of the world combined. Yet little is known about it.

Here you will find more than eleven million square miles of ocean dotted with islands, some no larger than a suburban back yard.

The names themselves conjure images of times past, great voyages of discovery and pitched battles, now etched in history - American Samoa, Cook Islands, Fiji Islands, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and - they all have a charm and allure which has attracted explorers, adventurers and fortune seekers since the dawn of time.

Thirteen island nations, with a total population of just over 6 million people, the smallest of which, Niue, numbers just 2,500. Yet, there is so much to see and do in this rich and diverse cosmos that is the South Pacific.

You can dive the pristine waters of Vanuatu or the Solomon Islands, experience the exhilaration of white water rafting or take in the cosmopolitan cocktail of people, religion and culture that makes a visit to Fiji Islands such a memorable experience.

The options are endless. This is truly the ‘last frontier' and it is all here waiting for you to discover it.
