The South Pacific is home to a lot of beautiful islands- some of the best in the world. These islands offer a lot to visitors- Polynesian culture, world war two historical sites, coral reefs, and volcanoes to name a few. There are thousands of tropical islands in the South Pacific that make fabulous holiday spots. They all make for great holiday spots and no matter where you go, you'll never go wrong.
With so many tropical destinations to choose from, there is a little bit over everything here. Many islands are so small they are only beach and a surrounding coral reef. Others are so enormous they contain volcanoes, a lot 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:
For those seeking adventure, Fiji remains the best island to choose from. This country has some 322 islands and less than a third are inhabited. Most of the action happens on the western islands. Fiji has excellent diving and Kadavu is one of Fiji's best dive sites. The more energetic can go trekking in the Nausori Highlands overlooking Nadi. Taveuni also offers good hiking in the Bouma National Heritage Parki.
If you want a romantic holiday, 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
Vanautu lies just south of the Solomon Islands and is a great place to go that is off the beaten path. Underwater visibility is great here and there seems to be a limitless amount of schools of colorful fish as well as a lot of submerged WWII wreckages. Above sea level, the scenery only gets more amazing, with beautiful palm trees, white sand beaches, and a clear blue sky.
Micronesia is a great place to enjoy spectacular diving at the many underwater wrecks in Chuuk. There are many historical ruins on the island to that date back centuries. You can not only learn a lot about nature here but also about the local culture since many sites are so well preserved. After working up a sweat hiking, dive into the clear blue and warm ocean and just melt into the scenery. It is pure paradise here.
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.
