Getting there

If you’re considering a quick stop-off for less than a week on a Pacific Island then the old saying ‘beautiful beaches all look the same’ comes into play. Chances are you will be offered the option to stop off at more than one or maybe even all of them as part of your round the world ticket. Most choose Hawaii and Fiji and armed with the benefit of hindsight advise others to choose Fiji and the Cook Islands. If you do choose Hawaii spend slightly more time there, escape the concrete mess that is the island of Oahu and head to the other islands. Fiji is great, but also has other islands you should try and visit in the search for true Fijian village life, and not just a pretty beach. The Cook Islands are ideal for the perfect ‘Pacific Island photo’. Our recommendation? Two weeks in Fiji travelling around the islands and checking out village life. One week in the Cook Islands for the ‘Pacific Island Experience’... and then head on.
