New Zealand is our goal and there are plenty of islands to hop between along the way. Leaving Lautoka and its bustling markets in our wake, we wave goodbye to Fiji and indulge in a lazy day at sea before arriving in Vanuatu, where the powdery soft sands of Champagne Bay beckon. Then it's onto Port Vila, capital of Vanuatu. From a walk in the rainforest to buying handicrafts at the local market, youll find plenty of ways to make memories here. The uninhabited Mystery Island follows, which is so small that you can stroll along its entire shoreline in as little as 40 minutes. Yet, all too soon, well be off again to Lifou, the largest of the Loyalty Islands in the nation of New Caledonia. Could there be a better example of the castaway island than this remote palm-topped hump of coral, kissed by clear seas? Its the very picture of a tropical paradise. Noumea, capital of this island chain, comes next, adding French bistros and chic shopping in the mix with yet more gorgeous powder sands. Now we have some serious sailing to do, but you can just watch the world go by as we spend two days at sea bound for the Bay of Islands, rich in nature, before arriving in cosmopolitan Auckland on New Zealands North Island, where there are natural and cultural treasures to discover.
Itinerary
Lautoka, known as the `Sugar City,` is a bustling port town located on the beautiful island of Viti Levu in Fiji. As you step foot in Lautoka, you are greeted by warm tropical breezes and a vibrant atmosphere. Explore the bustling markets, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant colors and fragrances of fresh fruits, vegetables, and handicrafts. Indulge in the rich flavors of Fijian cuisine, savoring local delicacies such as kokoda (marinated fish) and lovo (traditional underground oven-cooked feast). Discover the pristine white sandy beaches nearby, perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and simply basking in the sun. Lautoka invites you to embrace the beauty of Fiji and experience the warm hospitality of its people.
Day 2 Day at Sea
Situated on the northeastern shores of Vanuatu's largest island Espiritu Santo, Champagne Bay is as lovely a place as its name suggests. Its pure white sands, turquoise waters, and swaying palm trees are the stuff of postcards, so you'll be easily forgiven for spending all your time lolling on the beach and soaking up the sun. But dive beneath the sea's sparkling surface and you'll discover a whole other world of vivid corals, exotic fish, and the fascinating underwater wreck of S.S. President Coolidge.
Port Vila, the vibrant capital city of Vanuatu, is a tropical paradise that captivates visitors with its stunning natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. Nestled along the shores of Efate Island, Port Vila offers a unique blend of lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and turquoise waters teeming with marine life. Explore the bustling local markets, where you can immerse yourself in the flavors and aromas of fresh produce and local handicrafts. Dive into the crystal-clear waters to discover vibrant coral reefs and hidden underwater caves. With its warm hospitality, breathtaking landscapes, and exciting adventures, Port Vila is a haven for travelers seeking a tropical escape like no other.
Mystery Island, an uninhabited gem in Vanuatu, invites you to explore its pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters. This secluded paradise is perfect for those seeking a tranquil escape, offering sunbathing, snorkeling, and a chance to experience unspoiled nature. With no permanent residents, the island maintains its untouched charm, making it a true hidden treasure in the South Pacific
The French overseas territory of New Caledonia lies in the south-western Pacific about 750 miles off the east coast of Australia. Lifou is east of the little nation's mainland and is the largest of New Caledonia's four Loyalty Islands. Around its coast are high cliffs, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. The rich vegetation of the interior supports a wealth of vivid birds, from red and black New Caledonian myzomelas to yellow and grey fantailed gerygones. In addition, the island is dotted with vanilla plantations. Cruise ships call in at Easo in the north-west, anchoring just off land, with tenders taking passengers ashore; beaches stretch either side of the dock. An old missionary chapel, Notre Dame de Lourdes, is strikingly set on cliffs above the bay and can be reached on foot. Other activities include snorkeling in the marine reserve of Jinek Bay, just west of Easo; swimming at secluded Kiki beach a couple of miles south; and visiting the island's main settlement, the village of We, on the east coast, about half an hour's drive across the island.
The vibrant capital of New Caledonia, where French elegance meets South Pacific charm in a stunning blend of soft sand beaches, diverse marine life, and a rich fusion of cultures. Having served as the South Pacific headquarters for the U.S. military during World War II, the main island of New Caledonia, called Grande Terre, has played a prominent role on the world stage. These days, the island's sunny weather and natural beauty have taken the spotlight. Noumea has a distinctly French flair with fine restaurants and designer boutiques. Off shore are the vast barrier reefs and the largest lagoon complex in the world.
Day 8 Day at Sea
Day 9 Day at Sea
Stunning landscapes, sparkling waters and tropical weather are just some of the aspects that define the magnificent Bay of Islands. This region of New Zealand is a popular spot for tourists and locals, who are drawn to the incredible scenery of its green and paradisiac coastline.
Set on New Zealand's North Island astride a narrow isthmus between the shimmering waters of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean, Auckland or Tamaki Makaurau in Maori is an urban oasis ringed by natural beauty. The CBD (Central Business District) is brimming with artisanal coffee shops, fine-dining restaurants, and cultural institutions like the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki, but venture just beyond the skyscrapers to discover ancient mountain ranges, sculpted fjords, black-sand beaches, and lush rainforests.
Day 12 Auckland, New Zealand
