The South Pacific is known for a lot more than just being the name of a Broadway musical. It’s also home to fabulous tropical islands, Polynesian culture, world war two historical sites, coral reefs, volcanoes, and more. There are thousands of tropical islands in the South Pacific that make fabulous tropical destinations for your holiday. Some of the most famous island nations are Fiji, French Polynesia, The Cook Islands, Vanuatu, and Micronesia.
With so many tropical destinations to choose from, there is a little bit over everything here. A lot of the islands are so small they are only beach and a surrounding coral reef. Other islands are so gigantic they contain volcanoes, lots of animals, and even canyons. For any lover of tropical beaches, there are many options when you go to the South Pacific Here is a quick round up of the highlights:
Fiji remains one of the best island to choose from. There are over three hundred islands to choose from and you are bound to find something you like. If you want to party, visit the Yasawa island chain where the young backpackers go. For seclusion, head to the islands in the far east. For adventure, go anywhere. Fiji has something for everything traveler.
For romantic holidays, French Polynesia is the place you should go. The islands that make up this area are known for beauty and luxury. Bora Bora and Tahiti are famous with honeymooners and jet setters around the world. These islands will cater to every need and spare no expense doing it. French Polynesia is not cheap and trips to Tahiti could be expensive
If you want Polynesian culture, unspoiled by mass tourism, The Cook Islands are where you should go. The Cook Islands Polynesian culture is famous for a number of things. Woodcarving is a common art form in the Cook Islands. Each island is famous for something unique. Rarotonga is known for its fisherman’s gods and staff-gods, Atiu for its wooden seats, Mitiaro, Mauke and Atiu for mace and slab gods and Mangaia for its ceremonial adzes.
Visitors to Micronesia can enjoy spectacular diving, for example the many underwater wrecks in Chuuk. The ruins of Nan Madol in Pohnpei are also worth the trip, providing a fascinating view back to the 13th century Saudeleur dynasty who ruled there. Or if all you want to do is wind down, find a nice atoll and bask in the sunlight. It’s the kind of place where you pack your watch away and forget about time for a while. Don’t forget the sunscreen though.
For those looking for amazing tropical islands, you can’t beat the South Pacific islands. They offer some of the best beaches, best diving, best ocean in the world. There is great food and culture on these islands too. Polynesian culture is rich, diverse and has a long history. After a long day in the sun, there is nothing like a little outdoor BBQ and dance to make the perfect day even better. By far, I believe that the best tropical islands are in this part of the world.
