Tropical Islands - South Pacific
Dream Holiday Destination
In a recent Swedish survey the tropical islands of the South Pacific were voted the Dream Holiday Destination of the world, followed by the Maldives and an African Safara.
The tropical island nations of the South Pacific offer the visitor a unique travel adventure experience. Many of them have very low populations and some are even unhabited.
There three subregions in the tropical islands of the South Pacific - Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. Each group with distinct language, customs and traditions. The beautiful friendly people give the exotic island nations their fame, adding their charm to the romantic atmosphere and stunning natural beauty.
Tropical Island - Vanuatu (New Hebrides)
Hidden away in the north-west corner of the South Pacific, is a little known 83-tropical island archipelago, called Vanuatu, (New Hebrides). Is it just a short flight from Sydney Australia, Auckland New Zealand, or Nandi Fiji. It is the most politically stable environment in the South Pacific region and is one of the least commercialized of the tropical island nations of the South Pacific.
Clean air, international cuisine, organic food, pristine wilderness and time to enjoy life. An ideal jumping off point, with a deep water safe habour, for sailing the tropical islands of the South Pacific.
Vanuatu, (Land Eternal), is not the Carribean or Haiwaii, Nandi or Bali. This makes it even more special. Vanuatu is the perfect place for an All Inclusive Vacation for the family, or for the adventurous Independent Traveller. It is guaranteed to leave you with a 1000 wonderful memories.
Voted the Happiest Country on Earth in 2006, it is the birth place of extreme sport, the Pentecost land dive and the inspiration for the the 1958 classical romantic movie 'South Pacific'. It is your 'Must See' Travel Adventure destination. With its diverse and ancient culture and traditions it offers you a lifetime of exciting choices, (don't stay only one week - it isn't long enough to do everything you will want to do).
