Ports of Call

Sydney, Australia
First came the Aborigines, 50,000 years ago; then 759 British convicts, followed by a wave of military settlers known as the "Rum Corps." The result? Australia's premier city in a location second to none, with its own brand of devil-may-care sophistication. Make sure you explore the Rocks district where the original settlers lived, see the opera house that is one of the world's great landmarks, and climb (yes, climb) the Sydney Harbor Bridge where, like it or not, you'll throw caution to the wind!

Nuku 'Alofa, Tonga
Unique in many ways, Tonga is the only country in the South Pacific that has never been colonized. The secret to this tiny kingdom's lasting autonomy lies with its monarchy-rich in culture and tradition; unafraid to modernize and move forward. You'll find Nuku'alofa on the isle of Tongatapu-the largest of the 171 island jewels in the Tongan crown. Hopefully the Tongan people, cheerful and welcoming, will treat you to a version of the lakalaka-their compelling art of storytelling manifested in a breathtaking dance.

Vava'U, Tonga Island
Vava'u is in the northwestern most part of the island Kingdom of Tonga, and you'll be first to greet the new day in this country that lies just a fraction west of the International Date Line. All year round, humpback whales make their home in the warm waters off the islands of the Vava'u archipelago-the rich, plankton-filled waters offer them an endless food supply. A ring of shoals and reefs protect Vava'u's beaches and form tranquil lagoons where diving and snorkeling happen in vivid technicolor.

Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia
The colors of the Tahitian marketplace—intense reds, golds, yellows, pinks, and greens—are as seductive now as they were for Gauguin when he painted dark-skinned women with frangipani blossoms tucked behind their ears. Although none of his paintings are on display at the Gauguin Museum near Papeete, much of the master's life is captured in the exibits which provide insight into the genius and suffering behind his work.

Bora Bora, Society Islands, French Polynesia
James Michener's Bali Hai comes to life on Bora Bora—a Society Island ringed with a shimmering blue lagoon. Put on your pareo and take in the lush mountain view from Bloody Mary's bar, relax at the beaches at Matira, and ponder the ancient stone altar of Marae Aehautai.

Christmas Island
On Christmas Eve, 1777, Captain James Cook was charting the South Pacific when, to his amazement, a huge coral atoll appeared (later to be confirmed as the largest atoll on earth). What could he name it but Christmas Island? Remarkably, the lives of the friendly villagers have little altered over the intervening centuries. Men still fashion outrigger canoes by hand, harvest copra and fly cast the flats for bonefish; women weave mats of supple pandanus leaves; children run and laugh without care.

Hilo, Hawaii
You'll be intoxicated by the fragrant orchids and antharium which fill the air. This is Hawaii's second largest metropolis, yet it remains a quaint city of Victorian homes which overlook a half-moon bay. With its magnificent Japanese Yedo Garden and a half-hour walk through verdant tropical forest opening into the awesome beauty of Akaka Falls, Hilo is one of the most scenic tropical cities in the Pacific.

Kona, Hawaii
Located along Hawaii's western shore, where the slopes of Mauna Loa and Hualalai meet the sea, the Kona Coast is a region of endless lava fields and golden Pacific sunsets. The clear waters are perfect for diving, snorkeling, and deep-sea fishing.

Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii
Renowned for its beautiful beaches, superb scenery and surfing-friendly waves, Lahaina, Maui, is a true paradise on earth. Lush verdant jungles, cascading waterfalls, fragrant eucalyptus groves and white-sand beaches are all waiting to be explored. After a long day on a sun-soaked beach, enjoy a cool drink at one of the historic local taverns.

Honolulu, Hawaii
Imagine spending all day and all night on gorgeous Honolulu. You'll need time to take in this beautiful island with its pulsating nightlife, world-class dining, perfect beaches and quiet coves. Stroll the fabled beaches of Waikiki under the protective watch of the ancient volcanic profile of Diamond Head. Visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, a 42-acre living museum of the many cultures of the South Pacific. And be sure to stop off at the historic USS Arizona Memorial, dedicated to those who died at Pearl Harbor.

Apia, Upolu, Western Samoa
Lush and volcanic, the nine islands of Samoa constitute a reef-fringed oasis in the vast Pacific Ocean. One of Apia's greatest attractions is a hotel—Aggie Gray's— immortalized by Michener and frequented by Robert Louis Stevenson, Marlon Brando and Gary Cooper. Other worthy elements include rain forests, waterfalls, craters, blowholes, beaches, and the ever-present fa'a Samoa—the Samoan Way.

Pago Pago, American Samoa
So nice, they named it twice! Pago Pago (pronounced pang-o pang-o) lies in the very heart of Polynesia. This tiny, southernmost toehold of America is truly a world away, with a culture that expounds friendship and understanding.

Suva, Vita Levu, Fiji Islands
Suva is Fiji's traditional Pacific capital and dates back to the 1800s. In many places, colonial character still oozes among its palm-lined streets and old buildings. Capitalism and the 21st century have also caught up with Suva, and are manifested in the city's shops, cafes, markets and hopping nightlife.
