Our South Pacific Islands guide has been writen and researched by Ian Osborn, author of Rough Guide to Fiji, 2008.


We pride ourselves on ensuring our guides are right up to date. We spend at least two weeks every year travelling around each of our six main destinations checking out hotels and tour operators and exploring new ground. We focus on the environment - what to see, what opportunities there are, what tours are available, how easy it is to get around etc. ... we then provide all the options for accommodation, tours and packages and direct you direct to the resort or to one of our specialist travel agents who will co-ordinate all your bookings exactly as you require.

So, enjoy planning your holidays ...
