Surrounded by gigantic spans of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, Oceania is far from the rest of the world. The island nations that make up this region have had time to establish their own very distinct cultures and cultural practices, due to its remoteness.
Learning about the Moai statues on Rapa Nui, snowboarding in New South Wales, journeying through Papua New Guinea’s rainforests, volunteering in Christchurch or bar-hopping in Melbourne – Oceania has an overwhelming range of options to choose from. Here you’ll find all the first-hand knowledge you need to help you determine your next destination in Oceania.
- Australasia: Australasia comprises Australia, New Zealand, and its neighboring Pacific Ocean islands. It’s home to incredible natural wonders such as the Great Barrier Reef, Lord of the Rings filming locations and some of the world’s finest scuba diving conditions.
- Melanesia: A group of islands north of Australia comprised of New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Soloman Islands. Every island is known for its rich history, its unique culture and its exotic landscapes.
- Micronesia: Micronesia is a region northwest of Oceania. It is here where you can find some of the most untouched island islands in the world, such as the Marshall Islands, Kiribati and one of the least visited countries, Nauru.
- Polynesia: Polynesia is Oceania’s most isolated region but it also contains some of the world’s most stunning islands. French Polynesia is known for destinations such as Bora Bora and Tahiti, while Easter Island attracts hundreds of visitors who want to see the mysterious stone carvings on the island.
