New Zealand is our goal and there are plenty of islands to hop between along the way. Leaving Lautoka and its bustling markets in our wake, we wave goodbye to Fiji and indulge in a lazy day at sea before arriving in Port Vila, capital of Vanuatu. From a walk in the rainforest to buying handicrafts at the local market, you’ll find plenty of ways to make memories here. Yet, all too soon, we’ll be off again to Lifou, the largest of the Loyalty Islands in the nation of New Caledonia. Could there be a better example of the castaway island than this remote palm-topped hump of coral, kissed by clear seas? It’s the very picture of a tropical paradise. Noumea, capital of this island chain, comes next, adding French bistros and chic shopping in the mix with yet more gorgeous powder sands. Then we arrive in L’Iles des Pins to take a refreshing dip in the sea pool and explore a grotto created for a local queen. Now we have some serious sailing to do, but you can just watch the world go by as we spend two days at sea bound for the Bay of Islands, rich in nature, before arriving in cosmopolitan Auckland on New Zealand’s North Island, where there are natural and cultural treasures to discover.

Wrapped in magnificent beaches, draped in lush rainforest and kissed by translucent waters, the gem-like islands of the South Pacific have long been the treasured muses of great artists, captivating all with their serene natural beauty.

The French overseas territory of New Caledonia lies in the south-western Pacific about 750 miles off the east coast of Australia. Lifou is east of the little nation&#39;s mainland and is the largest of New Caledonia&#39;s four Loyalty Islands. Around its coast are high cliffs, white-sand beaches and coral reefs. The rich vegetation of the interior supports a wealth of vivid birds, from red and black New Caledonian myzomelas to yellow and grey fantailed gerygones. In addition, the island is dotted with vanilla plantations. Cruise ships call in at Easo in the north-west, anchoring just off land, with tenders taking passengers ashore; beaches stretch either side of the dock. An old missionary chapel, Notre Dame de Lourdes, is strikingly set on cliffs above the bay and can be reached on foot. Other activities include snorkeling in the marine reserve of Jinek Bay, just west of Easo; swimming at secluded Kiki beach a couple of miles south; and visiting the island&#39;s main settlement, the village of We, on the east coast, about half an hour&#39;s drive across the island.

Discover the traditions of Drehu Island, also known as Lifou, on a guided visit through the tribal communities of Easo and Xepenehe.

Siloam Tribal Life Tour

The vibrant capital of New Caledonia, where French elegance meets South Pacific charm in a stunning blend of soft sand beaches, diverse marine life, and a rich fusion of cultures. Having served as the South Pacific headquarters for the U.S. military during World War II, the main island of New Caledonia, called Grande Terre, has played a prominent role on the world stage. These days, the island&#39;s sunny weather and natural beauty have taken the spotlight. Noumea has a distinctly French flair with fine restaurants and designer boutiques. Off shore are the vast barrier reefs and the largest lagoon complex in the world.

Are we in paradise? You might think so from the look of this self-described forest of araucaria pines lassoed by soft sand and clear seas. In fact, L&#39;Île des Pins is the name of the main island, next to which sits another, Kômoto, and a cluster of islets. Along with Walpole island, 150 miles east, this is part of New Caledonia, and while it may be the furthest flung of France&#39;s territories, they bake a tasty baguette at the boulangerie in the main town, Vao, and the local delicacy is a giant snail. There is a natural pool for swimming and snorkeling, the cave grotto of a local queen to investigate, and a beachfront statue of St Maurice encircled by totem poles serves as a reminder of both indigenous and colonial influences. There also a darker side of the island to uncover at the ruins of the prison that once held hundreds of revolutionaries from the defeated Paris Commune and, later, Algerian rebels, and the graveyard where many were buried.

Stunning landscapes, sparkling waters and tropical weather are just some of the aspects that define the magnificent Bay of Islands. This region of New Zealand is a popular spot for tourists and locals, who are drawn to the incredible scenery of its green and paradisiac coastline.

Visit Tapotupotu Bay, a hidden gem fringed by native bush and golden sands, and the dramatic dunes of Te Paki Stream, where optional sand sledding offers a unique thrill against a spectacular backdrop. A light refreshment will be served in the serenity of Tapotupotu Bay.Return to the air for the second flight leg, tracing a remote and breathtaking coastline over the white silica sands of Parengarenga Harbour and Great Exhibition Bay. Pause at Henderson Bay to enjoy a hosted lunch in the comfort of a private residence, showcasing warm Northland hospitality. Conclude the experience with aerial views of Houhora Harbour, Karikari Peninsula, the Cavalli Islands, and the emerald mosaic of the Bay of Islands.

Experience the spiritual north from above and below — majestic flight paths, sacred lands, white sand beaches, and refined regional cuisine in one seamless and unforgettable journey.
