Just northwest of Tahiti, Moorea Island is an idyllic paradise where every type of traveller will find something they enjoy – be that lounging in the sunshine, exploring the vibrant rainforests, or tucking into some flavourful local food. Among the most strikingly beautiful islands in French Polynesia, this warm and welcoming island boasts an interesting topography. Not only will you have the chance to admire eight mountain peaks, something that gives Moorea a distinctly rugged appearance from afar, but the island is also home to two symmetrical bays. These bays make this destination the perfect place to enjoy some watersports; although, you’ll also find that the laid-back atmosphere here makes it the ideal place to lounge about in the sunshine. Heading further inland, if you’re looking for views, you’ll find several hiking routes worth taking advantage of. With numerous vantage points, you’ll never be too far away from a jaw-dropping view of the island. From above, the island itself loosely resembles a heart, and you’ll have a hard time not falling in love with Moorea when you spend some time here.

Located on the ‘big island’ of Hawaii itself, Hilo is a typical Hawaiian town closed to the Wailuku State National Park, famous for the rainbow falls due to the shimmering colours cast by the spray reflecting the gorgeous light of the sun above.

The island of Kona has a rich history, with Captain James Cook first setting foot there in 1778 (and eventually meeting a grizzly end). As well as its fascinating history, Kona has plenty of breath-taking landscapes to be discovered including Puuhonua o Honaunau National Park. Because of the idyllic location, Kona is also perfect for snorkelling amongst vibrant marine life including dolphins and manta ray.

Named after the light Hawaiian wood for making surf boards, Nawiliwili is the perfect destination for those looking for a grand panoramic view with many fantastic vantage spots, such as Kalalau lookout over the sea and Waimea canyon lookout with plunging waterfalls beyond. A helicopter tour is the best way to see the entire magnificent island at its best, while a Fern Grotto Tour treats visitors to tales of the region on a peaceful rowboat ride.

Honolulu is famous not only for laid-back Hawaiian style and gorgeous beaches, but also as the location of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which visitors can learn about at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial. To explore the wilderness of Honolulu, the grand Iolani Palace and Nuʻuanu Pali mountain are also well worth a visit, while a Helicopter tour is a must for unrivalled views of land and sea.

Beyond that, you’ll find plenty of places to tuck into some delicious local cuisine, and several small pockets of sand along the northern coastline to lounge on. Apia enjoys a healthy amount of rainfall throughout the year, though, so it’s worth bringing an umbrella – even if the average temperature year-round is roughly 27 degrees.

The capital city and largest metropolitan area in Fiji, Suva is a destination worth looking forward to when you’re exploring Australasia and the Pacific Ocean.

Those who want to stay where the action is, you’ll find Suva home to lively marketplaces and several fascinating museums, alongside plenty of places to tuck into some flavourful local food.
