The South Pacific

Frontiers' destinations in the South Pacific offer something of interest to every traveler. Does your perfect holiday feature endless white sand beaches, gentle breezes wafting through palm trees and romantic sunset strolls you've only dreamed about? If so, the myriad islands of French Polynesia and Fiji are calling you. If, on the other hand, you are the adventuresome sort who yearns to climb mountains, bungy jump, white-water raft -- before topping it all off with some greenshell mussels and a premium Sauvignon Blanc at day's end, then the small island nation of New Zealand is calling your name. For those who wish for ‘all of the above,' there is an entire continent to explore in Australia. Endless coastlines guarantee gorgeous sunsets and some of the world's most spectacular undersea life. Hike and bike the trails of Tasmania and discover why Australian vineyards are taking their place among the world's finest. Expand your horizons in the amazing Australia Outback where you can study the mores of one of the world's oldest cultures, the Australian Aborigines. And, don't forget the wonderful wildlife that is uniquely Australian.

Don't let the distance deter you. These amazing destinations are only an overnight flight and worth every minute of the trip!
