Fiji
The Pacific Islands are a romantic paradise and inspired the likes of Somerset Maugham, Michener and Rodgers & Hammerstein. Fiji is made up of over 300 islands. At the crossroads of the Pacific, Fiji combines Melanesian and Polynesian cultures. The islands and lagoons boast miles and miles of pristine coastline. Uncover a new adventure everyday – swim with manta rays, snorkel, fish, go beachcombing, reef walking, hike or just enjoy the splendor of the natural world.
The Fiji Islands are an excellent sailing and yachting environment – beautiful blue waters, gentle breezes, unspoiled coral reefs and many islands to explore. An Ocean Voyages yacht charter provides access to remote areas seldom visited by other travelers. It is exhilarating to voyage off the beaten path much like Maugham might have done a century ago.
Vanuatu, about three days sail from Fiji, is an archipelago of 83 islands withintact tribal communities, uninhabited islands, and incredible underwater beauty. It has the feel of Tahiti 40 years ago. Port Vila, the national capital of the island of Efate offers stunning views over its harbor. The town is a combination of Melanesian, French and British influences and is active with tiny cafés and restaurants and offers panoramic harbor views.
Many of Vanuatu’s islands are quite inaccessible to major tourism, allowing preservation of the tribal cultures and natural beauty. Dependent on your interests your itinerary can include a major emphasis on snorkeling, diving and exploring, visiting the out of way areas and enjoying the beauty of the islands. If you wish a cultural experience, you can visit some fascinating villages to experience some of their traditional dance and music. The local version of pigeon “Bislama” is quite entertaining. Even a month would not be enough time to explore the beauty and splendor of these Pacific Islands.
