When we re travelling around Australia we felt the urge to go to Fiji and so booked on a cruise that stopped off there. Unfortunately, a couple of days before departure civil war broke out in Fiji so we went to a couple of extra places in Vanuatu and New Caledonia instead. by TheWizardsSleeve

Escape to Vanuatu
Review of Vanuatu (South Pacific Islands) by quan

Advantages: Lush rainforests, turquoise waters
Disadvantages: Numerous earth tremors

Feeling stressed? Need to get away? Then imagine unwinding on a sun-drenched tropical island. Picture yourself swimming in turquoise-coloured waters meandering through lush rain forests, or mingling with exotic indigenous tribes. Does such a paradise stil ... Read review

I have been to several places within the Vanuatu Islands whilst on a cruise when we lived in Australia. From memory Tanna Island is where they have an active volcano and the cruise went past at night as it have been active for over three years. Sods law would have it that the night we sailed past there was thick fog! by TheWizardsSleeve

Review of Garden of the Sleeping Giant, Nausori, Viti Levu, Fiji by wanlan

Advantages: Tropical gardens of outstanding beauty, with a stunning orchid collection
Disadvantages: reached by an unmade but safe road

The Islands of Perpetual Sunday
Review of Independent Samoa (South Pacific Islands) by cladach29

Advantages: Pristine rainforest and beaches, amazing diving, welcoming locals
Disadvantages: Not for those who cannot make their own entertainment

Sitting on a roof-top veranda and gazing out towards the reef where punishing rips and currents swirl, I thought how fortunate I had been to arrive in Samoa on a comfortable airliner instead of by the rickety boats made of palm trees used by the first Pol ... Read review

You are truely blessed to have had such experiences. My imagination re-created so much from your wonderful review, but I bet it's not a patch on the real thing. I really liked the way you personalised it as well. Some people just give the information which is great, but it's also nice to read about places from the traveller's point of view too. Great stuff and gorgeous pictures too - LSxx by lonelysoul

Disadvantages: the sun will burn you to crisp if you're not careful

Back in January when bf and I were booking our trip to New Zealand he thought it would be a good idea for us to make a short trip to Fiji. This was mainly because we were staying with our friends that were getting married for a couple of weeks before thei ... Read review

Advantages: White sandy beaches, crystal clear ocean, coral reefs and colourful tropical fish, coconut palms, the list could go on forever.
Disadvantages: humidity from hell in the wet season

When the opportunity to visit Vanuatu arose I jumped at it. I was aware that it was the rainy season and it would be hot and humid ( I don't do hot and humid very well) but the timing couldn't be helped as my husband was attending a seminar. Nothing I ... Read review

Octopus Resort, Waya Island
Review of Fiji (South Pacific Islands) by Jaycey

Advantages: Cheap, great snorkelling and beaches, friendly people
Disadvantages: Long ride in a small boat

Octopus is consistantly rated as one of the best budget resorts in Fiji, and it's not hard to see why. Our beachfront bure (pronounced like puree) was lovely, traditionally built with a bathroom where the shower had no roof! It was very comfortable, and ... Read review
