The Pacific Ocean is the largest geographical feature on earth, larger than all the land areas of the world combined. This idyllic ocean is dotted with thousands of islands, some no larger than a suburban back yard.

The names themselves conjure images of times past and great voyages of discovery, etched in history - American Samoa, Cook Islands, Fiji Islands, The Hawaiian Islands, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and they all have a charm and allure which has attracted explorers, adventurers and travellers since the dawn of time.
