Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia’s largest cities, is best known for its harbourfront Sydney Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design. Massive Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay port are hubs of waterside life, with the arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Garden nearby. Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform, the Skywalk, offers 360-degree views of the city and suburbs.
Time will stop when you first lay eyes on the Isle of Pines’ glittering blue water and white, powdery beaches. Nicknamed “The Jewel of the Pacific,” this small isle greets you with the spiny trees that line its shores — these pines give the island its name. Formed from nutritious volcanic rock, the isle is surrounded by the New Calendonia Barrier Reef. Cruise to Isle of Pines and head to secluded Upi Bay, where you can go snorkeling and see the reef up-close, as well as clownfish, sea turtles and other exotic sea life. Or take the one-hour hike through lush rainforest to the top of N’Ga Peak. From the summit, you can spot the natural pool at Oro Bay — head there afterward to relax and splash around in the clear waters surrounded by pines.
The largest city in Fiji, Suva is a melting pot of hustle and bustle. The diverse population represents a blend of Indian, Fijian, Chinese and even Japanese culture. Visit the Fiji Museum, where you can learn more about the region’s history through 3,500 years of archaeological findings, including a full-size war canoe. Wander the Thurston Botanical Gardens under royal palms and alongside gingers and water lilies. Cruise to Suva, Fiji and hike to the summit of Tamavua Heights, where you can see the exotic coastline from above. Or trek through the rainforest at Colo-I-Suva forest park just north of the city, and take a dip in one of the waterfall pools.
In Lautoka, the second-larget city in Fiji, you’ll find wide-open streets lined with swaying palm trees and colonial-style houses. To start your journey, check out the Lautoka Sugar Mill, the largest of its kind in the southern hemisphere — it’s this establishment that’s earned Lautoka its name “The Sugar City.” Take the ferry to the nearby Mamanuca Islands, and relax in the turquoise waters under coconut palms; don’t forget to bring your snorkeling gear. Or stay inland: Find rejuvenating mud baths at the Sabeto Hot Springs, and explore waterfalls and mountain streams at Koroyanitu National Heritage Park. Or take the short drive to nearby Nadi, with its Hindu temples and retail-centric Main Street filled with the tones of Hindi and Fijian music.
The largest of three islands in the diverse Loyalty Island coral archipelago, Lifou is surrounded by secluded coral reefs, limestone grottoes and powdery white beaches. The locals protect their coral reefs with reverence — head to Jinek Bay to find some of the world’s most beautiful and untouched coral gardens. Cruise to Lifou and take a dip in the natural pool at Jinek, surrounded by steep cliffs, or go snorkeling with the vast array of tropical fish. Stroll the village of Easo, and visit the Notre Dame de Lourdes church, dating back to 1898 — its cliff-top perch is the perfect spot for views of the coral sea.
