South Pacific

4.7
Wineries & Vineyards Specialty Museums Beaches
One of the world's more difficult regions to define, South Pacific represents that section of the globe where the Pacific Ocean (rather than land) links the surrounding nations. A vacation in South Pacific will lead you to countless white beaches, flanked by the swaying coconut trees and offering quick access to some of the world's finest coral reefs. In terms of nature, the area abounds in volcanic islands sticking out of the blue waters and providing plenty of rugged landscapes for adventurous tourists on a South Pacific holiday. In terms of culture, the area encompasses some of the planet's most cosmopolitan and modern cities (think Melbourne, for example), as well as some of its most isolated villages.
