Welcome to the South Pacific Whether you're travelling around the world or heading to New Zealand, the beautiful islands of the South Pacific always charm and delight. Although traditionally a stopover destination, we are finding that visitors like to stay longer in this idyllic region that offers a lifetime of holidays in itself. Fiji, the Cook Islands and French Polynesia are so easily accessed yet perfectly isolated, and each offer their own unique blend of paradise. Within each destination you will find not only strong cultural bonds, but also a celebration of diversity. With so many islands to explore, it's worth remembering that the pace of life on each and every one will leave you unable to rush. So set your watch to `island time', cast aside the stresses of modern life, unwind and relax in the South Pacific.
