  • Tahiti, French Polynesia -Think overwater bungalows, crystal-clear lagoons, and postcard-perfect scenery. Tahiti is ideal for special occasions, romantic getaways, or ticking off a true bucket-list destination.
  • Samoa -Raw beauty meets deep-rooted culture. From waterfall swims to traditional fiafia nights, Samoa offers an authentic island experience that’s warm, welcoming, and unforgettable.
  • Tonga - Peaceful and unspoiled, Tonga is perfect if you’re after something a little quieter. Visit for stunning beaches, rich Polynesian traditions, and (in season) unforgettable whale-watching experiences.
  • Niue -Small but mighty. Niue is a dream for adventurers, with epic cliffside views, crystal-clear waters, and some of the best snorkelling in the South Pacific — all without the crowds.
