South Pacific | Intrepid Travel AU

Travellers are beginning to realise that there’s more to the South Pacific than cruise ships and resorts.

These islands – and there’s a lot of them – offer a wealth of cultural and adventure activities. An Intrepid tour or expedition can take you trekking to a volcano in Vanuatu, snorkelling with turtles in the Solomon Islands, hiking the historic Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, meeting a Cook Islands warrior or experiencing Fiji’s unbeatable hospitality and unforgettable sunsets. Wherever you go, you’ll go adventurously. And isn’t that what life’s about?

Highlights of the South Pacific

Nananu-i-Ra

Translating as ‘Daydream of the West’, Nananu-i-Ra is the quintessential South Pacific island. Think palm-fringed beaches, blazing sunsets and sunrises, water of the deepest blue, no roads and no stress. It’s a welcome break from Fiji’s adventurous activities, so put your feet up or strap a mask on and soak up the laidback vibes.

Tetepare Island

The largest uninhabited tropical island in both the Solomon Islands and the entire Southern Hemisphere is home to one of the region’s leading conservation projects. With lush rainforests and an abundance of sea life, Tetepare Island is a true untouched paradise supporting biodiversity and ecotourism with some of the best snorkelling you’ll ever experience.

Low-lying cloud in the valleys of Papua New Guinea

The Kokoda Track

Tackle this iconic trek and immerse yourself in the beauty, history and challenging terrain of Papua New Guinea. You’ll hear the stories of the Papua locals and Australian, US and Japanese soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice in nightmarish conditions. Reaching the end and paying your respects is an achievement like no other.

Tanna Island

Home to the epic Mount Yasur volcano, Tanna is one of Vanuatu’s most popular islands for good reason. Trek through rainforests, hike to Yasur’s crater, experience traditional village life, relax in the hot springs and snorkel the pristine reefs, then top it off with a cup of tasty local Tanna coffee.
