The exotic south pacific islands are one of the least explored but most beautiful parts of this earth. The sheer remoteness of some of the outlying islands is a romantic adventure in itself - small palm fringed islands with gorgeous and secluded beaches, and indigenous communities leading a subsistence and traditional lifestyle. Unfortunately there are not a great many adventure tours set up around the islands and you'll have to accept the slow and disorganized South Pacific lifestyle whilst touring around the islands. The best place for a South Pacific adventure tour is Fiji.

Fiji is known as a little mecca for adventure holidays with lots of off-the-beaten track exploring opportunites. There are several excellent circuits around the main island of Viti Levu, and in the Northern Islands, both of which are great for eco-tourism with lush tropical rainforest and traditional villages. The Yasawas offers the best island hopping in the South Pacific with loads of small locally run budget resorts with thatch bungalows beside the beach.


Samoa is the up and coming South Pacific adventure destination. Less commercialised and more traditional than its better known neighbour, Fiji, Samoa is easy to get about, extremely cheap and there's an excellent system of beach fales (traditional thatch bungalows) throughout the country operated by local villages. Samoa has excellent beaches, good surfing, a rich and friendly culture, lovely mountains and waterfalls and is the undiscovered island of the South Pacific.


The Cook Islands is more limited for adventure although the atmosphere is extremely friendly, there is virtually no crime and women travellers are treated with great respect wherever they go. Most adventure holidays are based around the main island of Rarotonga and the eco tourism island of Atiu, which both can be explored in a few days although its easy to chill out for many more. Camping is prohibited throughout the Cook Islands.


Tonga is less developed for tourism making this a good choice to go out and explore and meet people. Small locally run guesthouses are springing up on the more popular islands of Tongatapu, Lifuka and Vava'u and are very reasonably priced. In most parts of Tonga, camping is prohibited. The Tongans are amongst the friendliest of the South Pacific Islanders and crime is not apparent.


Tahiti offers great exploring opportunites on both the main island of Tahiti, neighbouring Moorea and in the outer Marquesas and Austral Groups. However, prices are extremely high throughout the islands - most adventurers end up on the short ferry ride over to Moorea which has stunning mountain scenery and some nice beaches. Budget travellers will find the campgrounds on Moorea and Tahiti to be one of the most popular backpacker hangouts in the country.
