Destination the South Pacific

The South Pacific is a big place - incredibly vast and blue - scattered in a huge ocean larger than all the other oceans put together but its landmasses are tiny. The region comprises of around 30 island nations, some mere dots on the atlas,
covering 11 million square miles stretching from the top of Australia to the Hawaiian Islands. 

While collectively called the South Pacific, these islands are divided into three regions: Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia, each with its own cultural traditions, language variations, and culinary specialties.  For more on the Hawaiian Islands, go to the Hawaii Destination page.
