An odyssey through Oceania & Asia

Atolls andAdventure

In tropical Hawaii, where jungle mountains soar, waterfalls rush, and epic surf rolls, get to know the multi-faceted history of these otherworldly islands. First settled by Polynesians, and more recently an important US naval base, tour USS Missouri at Pearl Harbor, and visit Iolani Palace, the residence of the Hawaiian royal family. Next, watch traditional tiki dances in French Polynesian heart-shaped isle Moorea, before learning about Maori toanga (treasures) at Auckland Museum in New Zealand. Onwards in Australia, get immersed in Sydney’s urban swell, contemporary architecture, and the country’s Aboriginal heritage, before plunging into the teeming waters of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest living organism, which was formed millions of years ago. Home to more than 1500 species of reef fish, swimming through flurries of humbug damselfish and blue tang surgeonfish, spotting white-tipped reef sharks, hawksbill turtles and impressive Maori Wrasse in this coral masterpiece is the ultimate underwater adventure.

Life in Hawaii is rooted in the belief that all living things are inextricably connected. Whether surfing in Waikiki on Oahu, discovering temples in the Kaloko-Honokahau National Park, or hula-ing in Honolulu, expect to feel the welcoming spirit of aloha – sharing the essence of life – in abundance. In New Zealand, a country as renowned for its showstopping glacial mountain peaks and high-drama valleys as its residents’ down-to-earth attitude, twin Maori culture with Mother Nature in the Bay of Islands, hiking through Maori villages and spotting pods of bottlenose dolphins offshore. During your travels Down Under, wonder at Australia’s art through-the-ages, from Aboriginal bark paintings through to contemporary ceramics at the Newcastle Art Gallery, food safari around Sydney’s culinary hotspots – or adopt a laid-back Aussie attitude and spend time relaxing on its famous beaches.

From delicious poke bowls (commonly made with raw tuna or octopus) – to lau lau – pork and butterfish wrapped in taro leaves and steamed – seafood plays an important part of Hawaiian cuisine, and fish dishes are sensational. For dessert, don’t miss playful shaved ice cones, topped with tropical syrups and red adzuki beans. In French Polynesia, toast spectacular sunsets with mai tai rum cocktails or coconut water, feast on juicy mangoes and rambutan fruit, and try local specialty poulet fafa, a chicken, coconut milk and taro stew. In New Zealand, expect tender roast lamb with rosemary and roasted veggies, Maori hangi dishes – cooked in a traditional earth oven – and stonking Pinot Noir from Wairapa’s wineries. As for Australia? As well as chargrilled meats served fresh from the barbie, try a chicken parmigiana – or parmi – a breaded chicken breast topped with tomato sauce and cheese, and lamingtons – squares of delicious chocolate and coconut sponge cake.

Judge for yourself whether Kaanapali Beach’s three-mile stretch of white sands of on Maui lives up to its reputation as America’s best beach, snorkel alongside turtles at Manini’owali Beach on Kailua Kona, and pay your respects at the Pearl Harbor memorial on Oahu.

Climb Auckland’s Harbour Bridge for beautiful city panoramas – or if you’re a real thrillseeker take things to the next level by bungee jumping off it, or parasailing over the azure waters of the Bay of Islands. Australia’s a dream for ocean enthusiasts, hit Manly Beach in Sydney, dip in the largest ocean baths complex in the Southern Hemisphere in Newcastle, before being mesmerized by the marine wonders of the Great Barrier Reef.
