In the South Pacific, you’ve got 6 Regions of Island Clusters. Let’s see where your dream South Pacific Destination might be!
Regions of the South Pacific
Region: Society Islands
These islands are the central French Polynesia spots featuring turquoise lagoons, myths, and legends and are the ideal South Seas paradise. Three are 14 total islands, but the major 5 islands are:
- Tahiti
- Huahine
- Taha’a (Motu Mahana)
- Bora Bora
- Moorea
Region: Tuamotus
Diver dreams are made of places like this! Coral atolls in side of lagoons with unique coral formations and exotic fish to see. Black pearls form here alongside small lovely villages and serene beaches. They call Rangiroa’s green lagoon “God’s Aquarium”, and Fakarava is a Biosphere Reserve, UNESCO-designated and home to many rare crustaceans, birds, and plants. While the area features 78 islands, the most visited islands include:
- Fakarava
- Rangiroa
Region: Marquesa Islands
These Marquesa Islands are more exploratory with spectacular cliffs, ravines, ancient walkways, and sky high waterfalls. Wild and remote, you’ll find steamy jungles that come right out of the ocean! There are 15 islands here, not all are well to visit but the ones you may want to consider, these 4 major area islands, are:
- Fatu Hiva
- Hiva Oa
- Tahuata
- Nuku Hiva
Region: Cook Islands
The Cook Islands, quiet and peaceful, are home to many things to do like hiking, white sand beach days, snorkeling and more! There are about 15 islands, but the 2 major islands here are:
- Aitutaki
- Rarotonga
Region: Tonga
Tonga is the only un-colonized Polynesian/Melanesian territory, so it has an easy pace, lovely people, botanical gardens, and you can enjoy a unique cultural experience nearly everywhere you turn here. It has just one major island (though it is a larger region of about 40 smaller islands too):
- Vava’u
Region: Fiji
Fiji offers 2 types of cultural influences, the Polynesian and Melanesian. Many spots offer rainforests, waterfalls, natural pools, rainforests, and mangroves, and you can even check out traditional fire walking on Beqa island! The major islands here that you can visit on a journey I’m about to describe include:
- Viti Levu
- Vanua Levu
- Beqa Island
