Escape, Indulge and Adventure

pacific islands travel agency

Let us help you to escape to the glistening turquoise water that invites you to walk the sun-drenched beaches, and dine on today- caught seafood. The Islands of French Polynesia, Fiji, and the Cooks are the ultimate paradise adventure we know you’ve been searching for.

In French Polynesia spend your days snorkeling with manta rays and sea turtles, relaxing in hill-top spas, and riding on horseback through the verdant mountains. By evening, we’ll arrange romantic dinners on secluded beaches and show you the chicest restaurants.  You will be indulging in grilled lobster and sip on pineapple flavored rum whilst watching the sharks and rays swim below your very feet.

Brimming with smiles and ‘Bulas!’  Fiji’s famously friendly people love welcoming visitors to their islands. You’ll find adventure waiting for you in lush rainforests or 

fish-filled lagoons where you can swim, ride rapids, trek rural roads, and surf-world class waves to your heart’s content. Or simply tune out the world and laze in a hammock on the beach for a bit. Mild or wild, it’s really up to you.

The warmth of the Cook Islands tropical sun surrounds you and the scent of frangipani washes over you. The most pressing decision you have to make is should you give kite surfing a go or learn to scuba dive in our warm waters. Maybe take the family to one of our famous cultural villages, or whale watching, or just wander from the sandy white beach to the pool. Let the kids enjoy an intense day of crab racing and friend-making at the kids club. From adrenaline-packed activities to the more sedate kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding we will help you enjoy your stay in paradise.    

You positive will fall in love with the South Pacific! and one visit will have you craving more.  Let us take you away.

We have used Tree for two of our vacations now-our 2019 honeymoon in Fiji and most recently French Polynesia, and she has yet to steer us wrong. Tree’s guidance and suggestions for planning our trip, picking resorts and room types, and activities along the way helped us get the best possible experience out of our trip. She has been to these places and has had so many great recommendations! Also, with the pandemic and border closures and covid restrictions our French Polynesia trip ended up being rescheduled several times. I didn’t need to worry much at all because I knew we were in good hands with Tree and she worked tirelessly to get our trip rescheduled.

– Kristy & Paul

IDEAL HONEYMOON

I just wanted to send a quick thank-you note as we enter the final days of our trip. Your recommendations helped immensely and we stayed at the best resort on Moorea (Sofitel), had great experiences diving with TopDive in Moorea and Bora Bora, and we relaxed in quiet Taha’a. Quite simply: an ideal honeymoon!

– Josh & Dylan

DREAM VACATION

Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea

Thank you Tree for your patience with me. I’m sure it was a lot of work getting all our requests granted but you managed and everything was perfect.

– Laura W.

Hands down- Best vacation ever!

We had a last minute glitch with some of the local government required paperwork that almost caused us to delay the trip. Tree jumped right on it, contacting the French Embassy and airlines over the weekend to help work it out. Her firsthand knowledge of the area was very helpful and her recommendations were spot on. We got just what we were looking for and more in the place she recommended. Also, little things like contacting the hotel for us to ask for an early morning check in and recognizing my Wife’s BDay with a little gift in our room were nice adders and made it more special.

– K. Mooney

Best trips ever!

I have been on two trips that Tree ( Fiji and the Cook Islands) planned, and I can honestly say they were two of the best trips of my life. I enjoy travel planning and usually do it myself, but not being familiar with the south seas, I put my trust in Tree and I was not disappointed! I was so impressed by the quality of the resorts she recommended and the fact that everyone there knew Tree by name. This woman clearly knows her islands on a personal level.

South Pacific vacation map

South Pacific at a Glance

Travel to the South Pacific: Visitors to French Polynesia and Tahiti should have a valid passport, a return airline ticket, and proof of sufficient funds for a stay. When visiting Fiji, make sure you have a passport that is valid for 6 months beyond your planned stay, plus a return airline ticket. To visit the South Pacific islands, you won’t need a visa if you plan to stay for less than 30 days. You will need a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended stay and scheduled return. If you plan to island hop, onward tickets are also sufficient to show that you don’t plan to stay forever.

Top Things to Do in the South Pacific

Go Diving or Snorkeling The South Pacific boasts some of the clearest water and some of the best destinations in the world to dive and snorkel; virtually every island offers diving and snorkeling opportunities just offshore.

Sleep Over the Sea in Bora Bora Stay in an over-water bungalow in Bora Bora, an island surrounded by a protective reef that shelters a dazzling blue lagoon.

Hammocks and Spas in Fiji Fiji spas are renowned for their open-air cabanas overlooking the ocean; after a massage to the sound of the lapping waves, relax in a hammock in the shade.

Wild for Wildlife Sea turtles, stingrays, rare birds, delicate coral reefs—the South Pacific is a naturalist’s dream.

Adventure and Thrills From surfing and jet skiing to golfing and hiking extinct volcanoes—the South Pacific islands offer thrills for every adventurer.

South Pacific Tours & Holidays

Tourist walking on jetty, Tikehau atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia, Oceania

There is so much more to the South Pacific than cruise ships and resorts.

These remote islands – and there’s a lot of them – are bursting with ancient cultures, fascinating festivals and wallpaper-worthy scenery. But our South Pacific tours aren’t your typical beach holiday. While there’ll be plenty of time to kick back on the sand and swim in bright blue lagoons, we’ll also get you trekking up volcanoes in  Vanuatu , splashing around in Fiji ’s dreamiest waterfalls, experiencing traditional village life in New Caledonia  or hiking the historic Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea . These are Intrepid adventures, so you’ll discover the real South Pacific while supporting local communities along the way. Isn’t that what travelling’s all about?

South pacific travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travellers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

What’s the weather like in the South Pacific?

The South Pacific islands have a tropical climate with only two seasons: a wet season from November to April and a dry season from May to October.

The weather is hot all year round, though it's hotter and sticker in the wet season and tropical cyclones and typhoons can occur.

The dry season sees clearer skies and cooler temperatures, though daytime highs rarely dip below the low 20s (℃).

The water temperatures don't fluctuate much, with average temperatures lingering between a pleasant 27°C and 29°C.

When is the best time to visit the South Pacific?

The most popular time to visit the South Pacific is in the dry season from May to October when skies are clear and humidity is low.

However, these months also see the biggest influx of tourists so expect busier beaches and higher prices for things like accommodation.

The wet season is the quietest time in the South Pacific and if you don't mind hotter, stickier and wetter weather, it can be a great time to enjoy the islands in their most idyllic state.

What do I pack for the South Pacific?

The South Pacific region experiences tropical weather, so packing sandals, sunscreen and plenty of swimwear is a must. Because of the high temperatures and often humid conditions (depending on the time of year), packing lightweight, breathable clothing (think linen or cotton) is also a good idea. You might also want to consider packing comfortable walking shoes for exploring the islands and insect repellant for those pesky tropical bugs. 

What is the internet access like in the South Pacific?

While the South Pacific is largely remote as a region (the only way to get there from neighbouring countries is to fly), it's fairly connected with great internet access across Samoa, the Cook Islands, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Fiji. However, there are some exceptions as each island boasts lush tropical rainforests that can interfere with your phone coverage. Having said that, if you stick to the populated areas, most hotels and restaurants should have wifi for you to connect to. 

Do I need to purchase travel insurance before travelling?

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

For more information on insurance, please go to: Travel Insurance

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travellers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travellers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

You're a very lucky Kiwi. Why? Because as a New Zealander you live on the doorstep to some of the most beautiful tropical Pacific Islands in the world. Destinations such as Fiji  and Rarotonga , Samoa , Niue  and of course, that little dime called Tahiti , amongst many others. These are places that some people can only dream about. To many they're just a 'one day' destination - a desktop background on an office computer - but to us they're a three hour flight away, give or take. That's right, Utopia at our fingertips: world-class snorkelling, sugary white beaches and a dazzling ocean that merges from jade to turquoise. Languid days spent idly in a rocking hammock, and nights with exotic cocktails and purple sunsets. For Kiwis, the Pacific Islands needn't be a pipe dream, they're all well within our grasp. Better still, paradise needn't cost you a fortune.

Imagine a tropical island where there’s fun for the entire family, on a Fiji Holiday you can have: great kids clubs, great food. Doesn’t appeal? What about a boutique luxury island haven with enough beaches for you to have one to yourself?

Wherever you are you’ll experience the Cook Islanders’ deep sense of hospitality and you’ll quickly become accustomed to the relaxed pace. We can’t imagine anyone failing to fall in love with these friendly, gentle and very beautiful islands.

Samoa. No shoes required. Slip off your winter socks you’ve been burrowing into the bed sheets and fall into a soft bed of sand instead. The sun’s up, the sea’s calm and there’s a beach Fale with your name written all over it. ...

Vanuatu is a country where the sun shines bright but the people’s smiles shine brighter. Absolutely nothing hinders the population’s enviable zeal for life. In Santo there are more cows than people. If it wasn’t for the cattle, you’d find yourself alone on the beach.

Tonga

We don’t know about you but we’d rather ditch the Netflix and chill out on a Tongan beach. The beautiful islands are dotted with natural harbours, secluded coves and countless isolated beaches. So how about you let go of the remote, and GO somewhere remote?

kazuo-ota-DAjg75Lzt0Q-unsplash

There are 118 islands and atolls that make up Tahiti, spreading over 2 million square miles of the South Pacific Ocean and traversing five archipelagos, according to Tahiti Tourisme. Literally spoilt for choice, how do you know which island you should call home?

Niue

In Niue you don’t need to turn up the air con to turn up the heat. The sun’s shining and better still, it doesn’t come with a monthly power bill. Spend your well-earned dollar on a new snorkel.

I was disappointed with the booking process as there was no direct communication with the tour provider Intrepid. Further TR should have explained that there is a "Upgrade" version of the same 9 Day Galapagos trip package. I would have preferred the upgrade version of the package with options of paying single supplements etc However I was lucky to be in the young vibrant group just being able to keep up with their more energetic a activites. That keeps me feeling young! Beginning with Marcello and Carlos doing the briefing, they are so helpful with questions. Carlos is contactable throughout the trip with my chances in the return flight and connect me with a stay in a Jungle lodge in Cocao. Special mention of Priscela, our tour leader: She showed unprofessionalism and very attentive to my safety and comfort. Over concerned perhaps for possibly unforeseeable frailty in a 75 young senior. She worries about me during the tour more than my mother! So thanks very much Intrepid for a memorable journey in Galapagos

The guides were terrific, very educational and entertaining. We loved the ability to stay at 4 of the different islands, and have an ocean view from every room! We got to see and do so much! I was never board, snorkeling, biking, watching and learning about the animals and environment, hiking, kayaking, etc…. It was great that the agenda was flexible. Having the agenda changed to enable us to be able to participate in all activities instead of having to pick and choose was fantastic! We were excited to find out we could snorkel the tuneles and hike the volcano. The food was fantastic, they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy every we went. All the local restaurants we very good at accommodating allergies as well as giving us a fantastic variety of local delicious foods. All in all it was an amazing trip that I definitely recommend!

We had such a satisfying experience with our travel designer and Guidecuador Travel. Alejandro was very attentive, prompt and planned the most memorable holiday in the Galapagos and Ecuador mainland! From the very beginning, we knew that the designer was the fit for us. He understood exactly the type of vacation style we were looking for and completely exceeded our expectations! Our entire itinerary moved seamlessly from transfers to tours and flights. Alejandro was always a text or phone call away to answer any questions we had no matter the time of day. His customer service and attention to detail were not only evident when speaking to him but in the itinerary itself. We had the best lodging with breathtaking views at every stop! The tour guides were also first class and it always felt that we received the best service no matter where we went. I highly recommend this travel company and Alejandro to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Galapagos and Ecuador mainland. He is simply the best in the business and I will use no one else the next time we return to South America!

What people love about pacific tours.

This tour is intended for people who are physically fit,able to walk 6 kilometers a day, love to kayak/snorkel/swim/bike, and still have plenty of energy to enjoy the wildlife. I cannot cope up with the group, but luckily our CEO offered me options like museum visit, tour to Tntoreras. I still was able yo see all the wildlife I need to see exvept the cormorant. I did not expect to stay in a 5 star hotel. I find the accommodation suitable enough for my needs: comfortable bed, air condition, water, electricity, wifi. Special thanks to Sandra, CEO. She is one of the best tour guides I met in my years of travel. She is a great listener and teacher. She was born in Santa Cruz. She knows Galapagos like the palm of her hand.
This was a great experience if you are looking for a little adventure! It is not a luxury, relaxing vacation, but has a good mix of exciting experiences, eating good food, waking up early to travel to new stops, and some time to chill and interact with other travelers.
There are a lot of tours to choose from when you are looking at touring in the Galapagos so you need to choose one that is right for you. Best of Galapagos is exactly what it says. We saw everything!!! 10 days was the perfect amount of time to immerse ourselves into everything the islands have to offer. Just brilliant

Nobody Knows Fiji Better

How we began.

We are a family owned and operated business selling and planning trips to Fiji since our inception in 1985. The founder of Great Destinations Travel, a full service travel agency, Michael Pomeroy, and his wife Teresa settled on their Honeymoon destination in the FIJI ISLANDS back in 1973! Since 1973, the Pomeroy’s have returned yearly to Fiji and vowed to never stay at the same resort twice.

Now, after having traveled to many South Pacific Islands such as the Solomon’s, Tonga, Cooks, American Samoa, French Polynesia etc. the Pomeroy Family always gravitated back to FIJI! We want to share our passion for the islands and love for the Fijian people and culture with you!

News & features, winter center, news / hurricane, explosive atlantic hurricane season predicted for 2024, accuweather experts warn.

A super-charged hurricane season could spawn a near-record number of storms in the Atlantic this year, and forecasters may even run out of names for storms amid a frenzy of tropical systems.

By Brian Lada , AccuWeather meteorologist and staff writer

Published Mar 27, 2024 4:00 AM PDT | Updated Mar 27, 2024 8:44 AM PDT

Alex De Silvia explains key points of the forecast to make sure that you’re prepared to make the best decisions to protect your family and property for this hurricane season.

The scene is being set for a turbulent year in the tropics, one that could approach a record-setting pace that may exhaust the entire list of names for tropical storms and hurricanes -- and then some.

The Atlantic hurricane season officially gets underway on June 1 and runs through the end of November, and AccuWeather's team of long-range forecasters say now is the time to prepare for a frenzy of tropical systems. There are signs that the first named system could spin up before the season kicks off as the calendar flips to June, a precursor of what's to come.

"The 2024 Atlantic hurricane season is forecast to feature well above the historical average number of tropical storms, hurricanes, major hurricanes and direct U.S. impacts," AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Forecaster Alex DaSilva said. This echoes the early warning AccuWeather issued in late February , ringing the alarm bells about the potential for a surge in tropical activity.

Last hurricane season featured 19 named storms, but there were only four direct U.S. impacts. Hurricane Idalia was the storm of the year, which slammed into Florida as a powerful Category 3 hurricane in late August. Additionally, Tropical Storm Harold drenched southern Texas, and Tropical Storm Ophelia made landfall in North Carolina. Lee also swiped the New England coast as a tropical rainstorm before making landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada.

All signs continue to point toward the upcoming season being worse than the last, with the potential for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season to rank as one of the most active in history.

Driving factors for a hyperactive hurricane season

Warm water is fuel for tropical systems, and there will be plenty of warm water for fledgling systems to tap into and strengthen.

"Sea-surface temperatures are well above historical average across much of the Atlantic basin, especially across the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and the Main Development Region [for hurricanes]," DaSilva explained. The Atlantic water temperatures observed in March were around or even warmer than they were in March ahead of the blockbuster 2005 and 2020 hurricane seasons.

pacific islands travel agency

Not only will this promote frequent development, but it will increase the potential for systems to undergo rapid intensification, a phenomenon that has occurred in recent years with historic hurricanes.

In 2020, Hurricane Laura was in the Gulf of Mexico and was making a beeline toward southwestern Louisiana. In just 24 hours, it rapidly intensified from a Category 1 hurricane with winds of 85 mph to a menacing Category 4 storm with winds of 150 mph -- 7 mph shy of Category 5 status.

Unusually warm water could also help to spawn tropical systems in November when the Atlantic hurricane season is winding down.

The other major factor in AccuWeather's Atlantic hurricane forecast is hitched to the Pacific Ocean.

Water near the equator of the eastern Pacific is in the process of quickly flipping from El Niño, when temperatures in this area are higher than historical averages, to La Niña, when temperatures in this zone are lower than long-term normals. This swift transition may have significant implications across the Atlantic Ocean.

La Niña results in less disruptive winds, known as wind shear , over most of the Atlantic basin.

"It can be helpful to visualize a stack of pancakes," DaSilva explained. When there is a high amount of wind shear, the top of a tropical system can be pushed and tilted away from its base, causing it to become lopsided. If a mature hurricane is in place, it may weaken but will not necessarily dissipate. "A tall, neat stack is what a tropical system wants to be, but wind shear can cause some pancakes to be displaced and the stack could fall over," said DaSilva.

The faster the transition to La Niña occurs, the more active the hurricane season is likely to be.

pacific islands travel agency

La Niña was present during the 2020, 2021 and 2022 Atlantic hurricane seasons, all of which featured near or well above the historical average of 14 named storms. The 2020 season is tied with the historic 2005 season for the highest number of named storms, with 30.

How many tropical storms and hurricanes are predicted in 2024?

AccuWeather meteorologists are forecasting 20-25 named storms across the Atlantic basin in 2024, including 8-12 hurricanes, four to seven major hurricanes and four to six direct U.S. impacts. This is all above the 30-year historical average of 14 named storms, seven hurricanes, three major hurricanes and four direct U.S. impacts.

pacific islands travel agency

With so many factors that could bolster development, there is the potential that there could be even more than 25 named storms in 2024.

"There is a 10-15% chance of 30 or more named storms this year," DaSilva said.

In addition to the number of storms and hurricanes, AccuWeather is predicting an Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) of 175-225, above the historical average of 123.

ACE measures the intensity and longevity of tropical systems throughout the year, making it a reliable way to quantify the true strength of a hurricane season. A powerful, long-lived hurricane will generate a large amount of ACE, while a short-lived tropical storm will only generate a small amount of ACE.

What areas of the US have the highest hurricane risk in 2024?

"The Texas coast, Florida Panhandle, South Florida and the Carolinas are at a higher-than-average risk of direct impacts this season," DaSilva said.

While these four areas are at an elevated risk for a direct strike from a tropical system, residents near other coastal locations should remain vigilant.

"All residents and interests along the U.S. coast, including Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, should have a hurricane plan in place and always be fully prepared for a direct impact.," DaSilva added.

pacific islands travel agency

One tool meteorologists use to create long-range forecasts is analyzing analog years, or past years when the weather patterns were similar to current conditions.

An analog year for this season is 2016 -- a year when Hurricane Matthew barreled over Hispaniola and eastern Cuba before taking a swipe at Florida's Atlantic coast. The Category 5 hurricane was the most powerful storm of that season, which took place during La Niña, similar to what is predicted to happen this year.

What happens if there are more than 21 storms and we run out of names?

With AccuWeather experts predicting 20-25 named storms, meteorologists could run out of names to use for tropical storms and hurricanes.

Although the alphabet has 26 letters, Q, U, X, Y and Z are skipped, leaving 21 names. So what happens when we run out?

pacific islands travel agency

The Greek alphabet was used in the past to name storms, starting with Alpha, but that rule was changed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 2021.

"The use of the Greek alphabet was not expected to be frequent enough to warrant any change in the existing naming procedure," the WMO said on its website. "However, after the record-breaking 2020 season, the WMO Regional Association IV Hurricane Committee annual session in 2021 decided to end the use of the Greek alphabet and instead established two lists of supplemental tropical cyclone names , one for the Atlantic, one for the Pacific."

The supplemental list of names is also in alphabetical order, starting with the name Adria.

If there are at least 22 named storms in the Atlantic this season, 2024 will be the first time the supplemental list is used.
