Compare tiny Tuvalu to uber-chic Bora Bora or romantic Mo’orea; measure up adventure-filled New Zealand to urbanised Australia; or experience the contrast between the mountain hills of Ovalau and the flat atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago. On your next Feadship charter, discover how each island nation shows off its distinctive flair, eye-catching panoramas and impeccable crystal waters in its own unique way. With latitudes to cover all tastes, the South Pacific invites you to discard your watch in preparation for ‘island time’ and spend a lazy day on one of its many beaches. Listen to the sound of crashing waves while sipping coconut milk in dazzling Rarotonga; pamper yourself with an oceanfront massage in luxurious Maui; take pleasure in an afternoon snorkel in the plankton-rich waters around Waiheke Island; or read your favourite magazine on your own private atoll in Micronesia. Take things slow and experience the South Pacific’s cool island elegance. The beaches – as exquisite as they are – are only a small fraction of what the South Pacific has to offer you. Dive one of the hundreds of WWII ships, aircraft and even submarines littering the ocean floor of the Solomon Islands while huge manta rays swim gracefully nearby. Hop on a helicopter to admire the lovely turquoise lagoon of Aitutaki, the ice-carved fjords of New Zealand’s South Island Ua Pu or the inspiring beauty of the Great Barrier Reef. Swim with a pod isla nd , Fr enc of dolphins in French Polynesia; hike to a gushing waterfall on the hP oly Marquesas Islands; learn to surf on Kangaroo Island; or visit one nes of numerous museums in cosmopolitan Melbourne.

The islanders’ friendly and hospitable nature is striking; locals are eager to share their charming traditions and fascinating cultures. For a night of time-honoured festivities, experience a Polynesian feast of pork slowly cooked in an underground oven in Fiji; gaze at the rapid hip movements of Tahitian dancers in Honolulu; or put another shrimp on the barbie in lively Sydney. A Feadship charter in the South Pacific will enchant you with its kaleidoscope of colours, flavours and cultural experiences. 136 137 The seven senses of chartering a Feadship AUSTRALIA our arb yh dne Sy Stretching over 2,300 kilometres, covering some 350,000 square kilometres and unifying over 2,000 reefs, the Great Barrier Reef is Australia’s pride and joy.
