Likuliku Lagoon Resort | Fiji
Fabulous Fiji and Awesome Australia
The allure of the South Pacific is strong—warm waters, tropical breezes, and soft sandy beaches that take your breath away. The distance North Americans must travel to reach this slice of paradise makes it ideal for island hopping. May we suggest pairing Australia for adventure and Fiji for relaxation?
Sydney Harbour | Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens | Bondi Icebergs Pool
In Australia, recover from that long-haul flight in Sydney. Spend a day or two exploring the renowned harborfront – take a ferry from Circular Quay to admire the skyline: the famous Opera House and the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge (and for a real thrill, join a tour that climbs over its iron arches). This is Australia's biggest city with over 5 million people; you'll find fine hotels, grand museums, botanical gardens, spectacular dining and coffee shops with the best flat whites around.

Next stop? Australia's "red center." Take a three-hour flight into Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory. This small city is a gateway to the Outback and the red rock monolith of Uluru. Watching the sun rise over this cultural landmark has drawn visitors since time immemorial is a must. Tour the rock by camel or on foot and watch for kangaroos. Many hotels offer an evening outdoor dining experience which is not to be missed – sip Australian Shiraz and see if you can find the Southern Cross sparkling above.
Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay | COMO Laucala Island | Six Senses Fiji
Fiji is only a four-hour flight from Sydney, and this tropical island country (made up of 332 islands in the archipelago) is unforgettable because of its culture and beaches. This is also where you'll want to splash out on any overwater bungalow fantasies. Landing in the capital of Suva puts visitors on the larger main island of Viti Levu.
French Polynesia Cruise | Six Senses Fiji | Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay
Head further to resorts on smaller atolls in the Yasawa and Mamanuca island groups for miles of unspoiled white sandy beaches. Here, resorts often offer day trips to the uninhabited islet of Monuriki, where the Tom Hanks movie Cast Away was filmed. Locals may welcome you with a cup of kava, the national drink of Fiji. Attending a kava ceremony is an essential part of learning the country's culture.
Two incredible destinations, one unforgettable journey.
