Destination Guide

Australasia & Pacific

The Great Barrier Reef, New Zealand's fjords, Fiji's islands and Bora Bora's lagoons. The other side of the world is worth every hour in the air.

Australia and New Zealand are bucket-list destinations for good reason. The Great Barrier Reef, the Outback, Sydney Harbour, Milford Sound, Queenstown. The landscapes are vast, the wildlife is unique and the quality of life is exceptional.

The Pacific Islands add another dimension entirely. Fiji's warmth (both climate and people), Bora Bora's iconic overwater bungalows, the Cook Islands' unspoiled beauty. The flight time is significant, which is why we recommend combining destinations and making the journey count.

"We should not be defined by the smallness of our islands,
but by the greatness of our oceans.
We are the sea, we are the ocean.
Oceania is us."
Professor Epeli Hauʻofa
