REGARDING OUR BROCHURES: Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they incorporate the basis upon which bookings are accepted by Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays (‘Infinity Holidays’, ‘we’ or ‘us’).

BROCHURE: This brochure was submitted for print on 24 December 2009. While Infinity Holidays has exercised reasonable care and skill to ensure that the contents of this brochure are correct, accurate and up-to-date at the time of printing. Please note that the contents of this brochure are based on information supplied to us by third-party suppliers and we do not have, and cannot be reasonably expected to have, personal knowledge about all of the facilities or services provided by each supplier; and facilities or services may change after the date of printing. Prior to making a booking, you should ask your travel consultant about any changes to the published information of which we may be aware. You should also make sure that if we are advised of changes that occur after booking, we can contact you.

PRICES: The prices in this brochure are valid for travel from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011. Please note that prices quoted here are subject to change. This may occur due to matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or service. Such factors include (without limitation) adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes and airfare increases. Please contact your travel consultant for up-to-date prices. Unless otherwise stated, prices are inclusive of taxes and charges that apply as at 9 November 2009but they do not include any fees that may be imposed directly by third parties. Prices are in Australian dollars and are valid for travel departing Australia (unless otherwise stated).

AGENCY: Infinity Holidays puts together holiday packages but is not itself a transport, tour, event or accommodation provider: it acts only as an agent for those service providers. It is therefore important for you to obtain and read the service providers’ terms and conditions applicable to the products in your package. Also, make sure you are aware of any exclusions or limitations of liability imposed by the service providers, some of which may limit or exclude liability in respect to death, personal injury, delay and loss or damage to baggage. Infinity Holidays has no responsibility for the products or services provided by these service providers, nor does it make or give any warranty or representation regarding the standard of those products or services. All bookings are made subject to the terms and conditions, and limitations of liability imposed by those service providers. Your legal recourse is against the specific provider and not Infinity Holidays. If for any reason any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider and not with Infinity Holidays.

LIABILITY: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of third-party providers over whom we have no direct control, and for any loss or damage whatsoever (including but not limited to physical and psychological injury and loss or damage to property of whatever nature) that may arise in any way in connection to the offer or supply of products or services through Infinity Holidays or any third parties, or in connection with the supply of such products or services. Under circumstances where liability cannot be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased travel arrangements. We do not accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any injury, damage, loss (including consequential loss), delay, additional expense or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by force majeure or any other event that is beyond our control, which is not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents include (without limitation) airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation and/or amendment fees. All travel documents are non-transferable. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder; some carriers will deny carriage if the name varies and the booking may be cancelled. It is your responsibility to collect all travel documents prior to travel.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and

Trade for all overseas travel. Your travel consultant can provide information to you about travel insurance. For details of the services they provide, including a quote, please refer to their Financial Services Guide.

PASSPORTS & VISAS: It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits that meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least six months validity from the date of entry. If you need information regarding visa and other travel document requirements for your trip, please ask your travel consultant.

TRAVEL ADVICE: Infinity Holidays makes no representations as to the safety, conditions or other issues that may exist at any destination. For travel advice, please contact the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or visit their website at <www.smartraveller.gov.au>.

HEALTH: It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation.

TAXES: Certain taxes are mandatory in various countries. There may also be an additional local tax charged at some airports. All taxes are subject to change without notice. All prices and charges in this brochure include Australian GST where applicable.

DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTS: A non-refundable deposit of $165 per person for international bookings and $55 per person for domestic bookings is payable within seven days of confirmation of your reservation. You will be notified at the time of your reservation if any additional deposit requirements apply. All deposits are non-refundable. Full payment for your holiday package is required at least 30 days prior to departure, or by the sale end date or payment deadline specified in individual package conditions, whichever is earliest. If for any reason we do not receive the deposit or your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and to apply the appropriate cancellation charges. A deposit holds services requested but does not guarantee prices. Bookings made within 30 days of departure will only be accepted if full payment is received by Infinity Holidays at the time of reservation. The price of your holiday may change at any time until the full payment is received and airline tickets are issued. Tickets will be issued within one business day of receiving full payment. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, for example if an airline changes its schedules, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation or if there are any changes in applicable taxes or charges, we will notify you. If any such changes result in your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then you may cancel the holiday and we will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by suppliers.

CANCELLATION FEES: Cancelled bookings will incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Fees will also apply where a booking is changed or tickets are re-issued. Without limitation, the following cancellation fees will apply as a minimum and are subject to change – International: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $165 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking and any airline cancellation fees on the air portion. Domestic: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $55 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking. Domestic airfares are non-refundable.

AMENDMENTS: An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. Any supplier or airline amendment fees will be charged. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and operator cancellation fees may apply. If the new package is of greater value and no operator fees apply, there will be no amendment/reissue fee.

REFUNDS: To the extent permitted by law, no refund is available for cancellations after the holiday package has commenced or in respect of any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilised. Requests for refunds received more than six months after the departure date for travel will not be accepted.

NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE OF HOLIDAY: All passengers are responsible for the cost of their own travel arrangements to and from their departure point (as set out in the brochure). The cost of anything not specifically noted as being included in the holiday package is at the passenger’s expense.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: Product descriptions featured in this brochure are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. The standard of accommodation and other services is based on various factors, which are generally accepted as indicative of a certain class. However, Infinity Holidays does not guarantee the standard, class or fitness for purpose of that accommodation or service.

MAPS & PHOTOGRAPHS: Maps are shown for general information and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, locations or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas, but are not necessarily included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs are representative only, and the actual rooms occupied may vary in decor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators.

PRIVACY POLICY: Infinity Holidays is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information. Our Privacy Policy is available for viewing at <www.flightcentre.com.au>, or ask your travel consultant for details.

BAGGAGE: Carriers publish baggage allowances applicable for carriage over their own services. Allowances include cabin baggage and checked baggage. These allowances tend to be based on a weight allowance or a piece system. We recommend you check your baggage allowance carefully as you may incur a charge for the carriage of baggage in excess of their free baggage allowance. Carriers also publish baggage safety notices, which detail items that cannot be carried or can only be carried in checked baggage. Again, we recommend you ask your chosen carrier about the applicable baggage safety requirements.

PRE-DEPARTURE CONTACT: Please ensure your travel consultant advises Infinity Holidays of a telephone number or address where you can be reached within 24 hours prior to your departure from Australia.

BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS: To make a booking, select the holiday of your choice and then contact your licensed or AFTA travel consultant who will request a reservation for you. All reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit is received. When a booking is made, the person effecting the booking is deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all people named in the booking. The contract will be governed by and subject to these terms and conditions.

Pacific Islands

Infinity Holidays South Pacific 2010 :11

awe-inspiring scenery, vibrant culture, delicious cuisine and smiling faces have made the South Sea islands a favourite holiday destination for centuries. Whether you want to take things easy, relaxing on the beach, wandering through the shops and luxuriating in the day spa, or alternatively, if you’re after an action-packed adventure, trekking through tropical forests, diving with the dolphins, exploring limestone caves and rafting river rapids, these spectacular islands will win your heart and soothe your soul.

Vanuatuan archipelago of 83 islands full of cultural variety and fascinating natural treasures, Vanuatu has been developing a strong national identity since being granted independence in 1980, and is renowned for its relaxed lifestyle, which visitors find impossible not to embrace. Spectacular scenery is without doubt one of Vanuatu’s highlights, with azure blue seas offering world-renowned diving, and stunning smoking volcanoes skirted by lush rainforest alive with exotic birds.

No other South Pacific country boasts as many local variations as multi-layered Vanuatu, where cosmopolitan Port Vila casinos, indulgent day spas and resorts, gourmet restaurants and thriving duty-free shopping precincts contrast sharply with traditional villages full of timeless culture and friendly faces. the people of Vanuatu are happy and relaxed; mainly Melanesian, but practicing many different cultures, traditions & dialects across the islands.

added to all of this, Vanuatu offers a host of unique experiences such as diving on a World War ii wreck, experiencing traditional spirit dances and braving Pentecost island’s naghol ceremonies (the original bungy jump!).

New Caledoniaunlike any of its South Pacific neighbours, the enigmatic french colony of New caledonia, or Kanaky as the local Melanesian inhabitants call it, is quite unique. located midway between fiji and australia, it is known as the ‘Paris of the Pacific’, because it boasts a distinctly french flavour, which adds an intriguing element of European sophistication to its tropical scenery and traditional culture. Parisianchic is particularly reflected in New caledonia’s capital city of Noumea, where you can find decadent french restaurants, boutique shopping and trendy crowds.

it’s a cosmopolitan lifestyle contrasted beautifully on the east side of the mainland and on the outlying islands, where the Kanaks (a word derived from ‘kanaka’ – the hawaiian word for ‘human’) and the coutume (native customs) have survived more than 150 years of colonisation. travelling through rural New caledonia reveals a thriving island culture and a fascinating glimpse into everyday New caledonian life, perfectly complementing the European comforts of most accommodation houses.

take a short flight or a catamaran over to the beautiful isle of Pines, south-east of Noumea, a place of white beaches, swaying palms and an ideal spot for canoeing, glass-bottom boat trips and diving.

Pacific Islands


Tahiti & French Polynesialiving up to its name as the ‘isle of love’, tahiti and the other islands of french Polynesia exude an irresistible South Pacific charm and friendliness. combined with exotic tropical surrounds and more than a hint of fashionable french style, it is impossible not to fall in love with the entire area. it’s a particularly popular destination for honeymooners seeking the ultimate in romantic destinations. a long list of famous authors such as Robert louis Stevenson and herman Melville have written about the exotic beauty and pleasures of tahiti, and the island still manages to live up to every word.

french Polynesia, comprising five main island groups, is equally enchanting, showcasing luxury accommodation in over-water bungalows and some unforgettable travel opportunities, including hikes through verdant volcanic landscapes, history lessons from locals passionate about their unique culture and dives on coral reefs that rival the world’s best.

Cook Islandsthe cook islands reward visitors with exquisite natural beauty and colourful attractions, not to mention superb diving, fishing and whale-watching opportunities. the main island of Rarotonga and the gorgeous lagoon island of aitutaki are well-known for their scenic allure, while trips to the virtually untouched atiu, Mangaia and Mauke islands offer a lesser-known but no less spectacular experience, with virgin rainforests and a wealth of wildlife surrounded by sparkling waters.

culture is evident everywhere on the cook islands, particularly in the many ancient marae, or sacred meeting places, which are full of spiritual symbolism.

the marae on aitutaki atoll are marked with huge stones and have special significance to the islanders, a must-see for archaeology lovers. atiu also features first-class hiking trails, with beautiful limestone caves filled with stalagmites and stalactites to explore. cultural and village tours provide a fascinating insight to the cook islands’ rich and colourful history, complete with dramatic local dances, reputed to be among the best in the Pacific.

Tonga, Samoa & NiueRelatively untouched by the hand of mass tourism, the Western Polynesian islands of tonga, Samoa and Niue offer a rare modern-day insight into ancient tribal traditions. centuries-old Polynesian customs and rare cultural reverence combine with the stunning South Sea scenery to create an authentic and unforgettable island experience.

the majestic environment is completely unspoilt and lightly populated. oceanic atolls, active volcanoes, uplifted limestone islands and pristine waters create a magical setting for intrepid rainforest and caving explorations, delicious beachside feasts, shopping in lively outdoor markets and the chance to swim with whales and dolphins in some of the clearest waters in the world.

the unsurpassed natural beauty and tranquil tropical ambience of Vanuatu remains relatively untouched, despite its popularity, and it has certainly earned its reputation as one of the South Pacific’s premier holiday destinations.

Heritage & cultureas soon as you step off the plane, you’ll be greeted as new friends by a local grass skirt-clad group, proudly strumming their guitars and singing a traditional uplifting Melanese welcome. it is the perfect introduction to the relaxed lifestyle and hospitable people that define Vanuatu.

the dynamic history of the Republic of Vanuatu is evident everywhere, with more than 100 different languages spoken within its borders. the firmly established Melanesian people have inhabited the region since about 1500Bc, creating a rich

cultural backbone that still guides the country today. When European explorers arrived in the early 1800s, however, they understandably fell in love with the place, and the influence of British and the french colonists is also widely visible.

DiningVanuatu’s eclectic heritage is never appreciated more than at mealtimes. Enjoy flavoursome french favourites such as crisp baguettes, delicious pastries and aromatic coffee, and lunch on mouth-wateringly fresh seafood caught just down the road. Melanesian delicacies such as coconut crab, flying fox and wild pigeon should not be ignored either.

ShoppingShopping also reflects the country’s magical mix of cultures, with french perfume and champagne found alongside souvenir outlets full of traditionally made woven and wooden handicrafts, beautiful jewellery shops and fashion stores selling sarongs and beachwear for all budgets and tastes.

Islands & resortsof the 83 tropical islands that make up Vanuatu, tourists tend to visit the main three: Efate, Espiritu Santo and tanna. Efate is best known for the stylish hub of Port Vila, alive with restaurants and resorts, but it also showcases significant natural wonders, such as hot mineral springs, waterfalls, pristine rainforest and deserted beaches. catering to every traveller, Efate resorts range from traditional accommodation, such as Sunset Bungalows, to international-standard hotels like the Grand hotel and casino. there are backpacker-style affairs such as hideaway island, with its eco

focus, and the world’s only underwater post office, as well as family-focused getaways, such as Benjor Beach club, complemented by romantic hideaways like iririki island and Mangoes Resort.

the magical island of tanna offers an authentic Vanuatu adventure, providing the rare opportunity to walk the rim of active Mount Yasur and stay in classical Melanesian beachfront bungalows at resorts like friendly Bungalows and White Grass ocean Resort. Espiritu Santo is also hard to resist, featuring lush rainforest, one of the South Pacific’s finest beaches, spectacular dive sites and several excellent resorts.

DivingSome of the world’s most magnificent dive sites are located off Vanuatu’s shores and there are literally hundreds of prime snorkel or dive spots to choose from. the massive wreck of the SS President Coolidge or the Million Dollar Point site near Espiritu Santo make for fascinating dives with a World War ii twist. for natural beauty and unparalleled marine diversity, try the underwater bridges, hills and valleys of Black Sand Reef off the coast at Port Vila.

NatureNine active volcanoes, including two underwater, have defined Vanuatu’s dramatic topography and fed its fertile soils, giving rise to an abundance of wildlife and exotic birds, cool green rainforests, picture-perfect waterfalls, contoured mountain ranges and remarkable caves. a host of outdoor activities such as hiking and horseriding, allow you to immerse yourself in the scenery without disturbing the ecosystem’s delicate balance.

ˇ Heading hereVanuatuˇ Treat yourself to a tropical treasure

knowˇ Get in the know ...ladies, it is always best to take a big suitcase to Vanuatu because some of the souvenirs are simply irresistible. the handwoven island homewares make marvellous memorabilia, but it is the unexpected surprises that tend to tip the luggage scales – fine french perfume, Parisian crystal, designer swimwear and stunning jewellery settings showcasing South Sea island pearls are just a few of the tempting finds. on top of all that, there is a fantastic chinatown district with a unique South Pacific twist set in Rue carnot in Port Vila.

1. climb a volcano

Mount Yasur, the famous active volcano on the island of tanna, offers a once in a lifetime experience. Walk right along the rim of this amazing natural phenomenon, and if you brave the evening adventure you could see massive pieces of molten rock and red hot magma.

2. Enjoy a Melanesian feast

Many Vanuatu resorts host Melanesian-style feasts on a regular basis, complete with traditional food, local string bands, kastom dancing and kava drinking. they offer a great chance to try local delicacies and enjoy the most entertaining elements of local culture.

3. take a lesson in culture

take the opportunity to visit a local village, as the experience of seeing the traditional way of life will provide a fascinating insight into an intriguing culture.

4. hit a hole in one

the championship 18 hole golf course in stunning Mele Bay near Port Vila, the host for the New South Wales PGa, makes for an excellent day out.

5. Relive World War ii under water

the waters off Espiritu Santo are home to the largest and most accessible World War ii dive wreck in the world, the SS President Coolidge. Sunk in 1942 not far from the coast, the 22,000 tonne vessel offers an aquatic adventure unlike any other.

6. fill your sails

With untouched islands appearing at every turn and beautiful tropical weather almost all year round, a sailing tour amid the 83 breathtaking islands is nothing short of magical.

7. trek through the rainforest

While the beaches are undoubtedly beautiful, don’t forget about the wonderful world found further inland. hike, ride horseback or take a buggy tour and get among the glossy green foliage of Vanuatu’s tropical rainforests.

8. Dip into the Blue holes

the crystal-clear waters of the Blue holes on Espiritu Santo should be considered one of the wonders of the world. hire a kayak, pack your snorkelling gear and a picnic lunch.

9. Join in an ocean swim

fast becoming a favourite annual event, the Port Vila and Espiritu Santo aorea swims present a tempting challenge to water lovers. Set in some of the most beautiful seas in the world, they are exciting to watch and enter.

10. chill out in a nakamal

Vanuatu kava is reportedly the strongest kava in the world, with 32 active ingredients. this mild intoxicant is best enjoyed in the ambient, dimly lit surrounds of a nakamal, or kava bar. Port Vila and luganville in Espiritu Santo boast several nakamals to choose from and all offer an ideal starting place for a big night on the town.

2. Dive the World War ii wrecks

3. Swim in the Blue holes

4. Visit a remote village

5. Explore the rainforest

Espiritu Santothe serenity of Espiritu Santo is simply unsurpassed. it exists in a setting so spectacular, it has to be seen to be believed. coconut palms shade shimmering white sands, majestic rainforest fills dramatic ravines flickering with the rainbow wings of exotic birds and a series of sparkling blue swimming holes are connected by coral dusted caverns. Better yet, although it is Vanuatu’s largest island, the beauty is largely undisturbed. ancient Kauri trees stretch toward the sky in the south-west mountain forests, and in the north, Big Bay conservation area forms Vanuatu’s first national park. it is a true island hideaway, and the atmosphere is one of a secluded escape from the real world.

Even so, Espiritu Santo offers plenty of adventure. a major drawcard for divers, the sunken World War ii legacies, SS President Coolidge and the destroyer USS Tucker, provide world-class wreck dive sites, and the crystal-clear waters of the renowned Blue holes, thriving with thousands of magnificent tropical fish, present one of the most pristine snorkel or dive experiences available anywhere today. on land, there are a host of fascinating tribal sites to explore. one of the few places where you can truly have the beach to yourself, make sure you enjoy a day of relaxation or a sunset picnic. a range of accommodation styles ensure everyone can experience the Espiritu Santo magic, so there is no excuse for not including it in a Vanuatu visit.

Tahiti


tahiti continues to cement its position as one of the world’s more romantic destinations, thanks to its dreamy South Seas image and growing popularity with hollywood a-listers. Eddie Murphy is the latest star to choose tahiti, marrying tracey Edmonds on a private Bora Bora motu on New Year’s Day 2008.

Before that tom cruise and Katie holmes escaped to Relais and chateaux, near le taha’a Private island and Spa, for a romantic interlude, while our own Nic and Keith urban honeymooned at Bora Bora’s impressive St Regis Spa Resort after their Sydney nuptials. Since then, tahiti has hosted the likes of charlize theron, Sharon Stone, chelsea clinton and Eva longoria, among countless other famous globetrotters.

History & culturethe Maohi, the region’s earliest settlers, arrived around 2000 years ago, bringing their rich culture with them. cultural elements inherited from the Maohi, such as dance and art, are still evident. the region has also been shaped by European influences since the first explorers visited in the 16th century. the region became a french colony in 1846 and france’s influence is still very strong today.

Islands & resortsEach of the many islands of tahiti is a tiny paradise, crowned with jagged peaks soaring magically out of the ocean, and often appearing as though they are barely floating above the breaking waves. from the largest island, tahiti, home to the capital city of Papeete, to the legendary romance of Bora Bora, Moorea, huahine, Rangiroa, Manihi, tikehau and Raiatea, and taha’a, the islands offer a great range of resort styles, from the small and intimate to the grand and luxurious.

and no one does overwater bungalows like tahiti. Setting new standards for overwater magic are deluxe properties, such as Bora Bora’s intercontinental Bora Bora Resort & thalasso Spa, and the Sofitel Moorea ia ora Beach Resort on enchanting Moorea island.

tahiti is not just about luxury and indulgence either. holidaymakers wanting an affordable escape or cultural experience can opt for family-run pensions, usually located right on the water and offering diving courses, trekking and four-wheel drive experiences, as well as visits to local pearl farms.

three-star properties, such as hotel les tipaniers on Moorea, le Maitai Polynesia Bora Bora and le Mandarin in Papeete, are all good options if your budget doesn’t stretch all the way to luxury.

Land adventureshead away from the palm-fringed coasts and you’ll find a different side to these beautiful islands. tahiti and her islands also offer more than simply sun, sand and sea, with mountainous hinterlands on the larger islands inviting the more intrepid to explore by foot, horseback, quad bike or four-wheel drive.

Diningtraditional Polynesian fare is full of flavoursome dishes with an emphasis on fresh fruit, vegetables, coconut and all manner of seafood. the national dish is poisson cru, which uses lime juice and coconut milk to marinate raw fish and then served with various vegetables and seasoning to achieve a particular flavour and texture. like all Polynesians, tahitians like nothing better than a traditional feast of suckling pig, fish, breadfruit, yams and fe’i bananas cooked in banana leaves in an earthen oven.

Shoppingtahiti’s stunning black pearls are a must-have for every visitor to these islands. Specialist pearl stores can be found in the capital Papeete and in most of the top name resorts. also sought after are finely detailed local handicrafts, woodcarvings, sculptures, and the colourful patchwork blankets known as tifaifai. the bigger resorts offer designer beachwear and other souvenirs.

ˇ Heading here

knowˇ Get in the know ...if you’re after romance, as Keith urban and Nicole Kidman will tell you, there is no place quite like tahiti. all resorts and islands are well set up to offer newly married arrivals or reclusive romantics first-rate service and privacy. there are comprehensive packages available for honeymooners, including transfers, accommodation and meals, which leaves one less thing to plan before your wedding day. of course, those who are simply after a little rest and relaxation can also take advantage of the couple’s packages available.

Conditions.....copy copy

1. Get to know your island

circle island tours are a terrific way to see all the highlights of the island and get the historical background at the same time. tours are available on tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea; from the majestic waterfalls on tahiti to the mystical marae (temples) on Bora Bora.

2. See the reefs up close

the crystal-clear waters offer ideal conditions for the beginner as well as the advanced diver, with sunken plane and ship wrecks, steep oceanic drop-offs and vivid shelves of tropical coral adding to the excitement.

3. Make friends with the sharks on Bora Bora

conquer your fears and get up close and personal with sharks and stingrays by signing up for the unforgettable experience of feeding these enigmatic marine creatures from the boat deck.

4. Enjoy a traditional tahitian feast

it is easy to understand why island life is called paradise when you taste the traditional cuisine. a typical Polynesian buffet will include suckling pig, fish and chicken slow-roasted in a ground oven and a host of local delicacies.

5. cruise the crystal waterways

tahiti offers plenty of cruising options, from super yachts and island-hop cruise ships to simple sailing catamarans or pleasure craft for family fun.

6. indulge in a Polynesian spa

Recognised as a world-class spa destination, many local day spas take their cue from the breathtaking surrounds to offer a uniquely tahitian pampering experience, including herbal rain showers, banana-leaf body wraps and fresh flower baths using gorgeous products infused with local fragrances.

7. take a private motu picnic

the motu, tiny islets in the glittering lagoon, offer some of the most sensational picnic escapes imaginable. cruises and resorts can provide a gourmet meal set up in the warm shallow waters or under the shade of a coconut tree. could anything be more idyllic?

8. Escape to Rangiroa

the second-largest atoll in the world, Rangiroa is an experience all of its own. With 240 islets splayed out on 110 kilometres of ocean, circling a glorious coral-crowned lagoon, it boasts majestic dive sites.

9. take a four-wheel drive adventure

fantastic four-wheel drive tours are available on Bora Bora, Moorea and tahiti, showcasing a selection of island sights safari-style.

10. take home a tahitian treasure

tahiti’s beautiful black pearls are the premier souvenirs, but manoi oils, natural skin products using local ingredients, along with carved timber homewares and traditional quilts crafted by island matriarchs, are also favourites.

less than an hour from tahiti, lies the beautiful atoll of Rangiroa, “immense Sky” in Polynesian.

Nestled in the tuamotu archipelago, this chain of emerald islets, secluded pink and white sand beaches and turquoise lagoon is where haumana is based.

haumana cruises offers a unique style of cruising, off the beaten track, in an authentic Polynesian atmosphere, the comfort and intimacy of a 12 cabin catamaran.

leave the hustle and bustle of daily life behind, and dive into a world of peace and tranquility, surrounded by the colours of Rangiroa.

Get acquainted with the local population, learn about their culture and traditions, and all that makes tahiti and her islands so unique.

the haumana experience is ideal for beach and nature lovers, snorkeling fans and fishing enthusiasts.

onboard the haumana, there is no strict agenda. Snorkel in the coral Garden, race kayaks, fish from the rear of a tender boat, discover Rangiroa’s natural fauna and flora with the haumana crew, try some Polynesian delicacies, or enjoy a siesta on the beach.

for an active vacation or a relaxing time in the islands, the haumana will have something for everyone.

2. Be pampered at a day spa

3. Join a shark and ray safari

4. Enjoy Mount Pahia’s views

5. Sit back, relax and do absolutely nothing at all!

Bora Borathe name Bora Bora instantly conjures up romantic images of shimmering turquoise waters gently lapping the stilts of luxuriously appointed bungalows, backdropped by brilliant tropical sunsets. But this beautiful island is better than what even the most vivid imagination can dream up.

couples seeking seclusion can soak up the privacy of one of Bora Bora’s enchanting beaches on a remote motu, one of the small islands on the outer reef.

those after adventure can go splash diving, snorkelling, windsurfing, sailing, jet skiing or enjoy one of the many other water activities on offer. Explore the island’s beachside roadways by bicycle or take a trail ride through the lush interior on horseback.

for an even bigger challenge, hike the lower slopes of Mount otemanu, or scale the upper reaches of Mount Pahia for amazing panoramic views across the South Pacific. of course, Bora Bora is equally well equipped for those who want to do nothing but soak up the sun and sip cocktails, stopping only for some professional pampering courtesy of the wide selection of luxury spa treatments available. the tropical atmosphere is just as alluring when the sun goes down. Dine in one of the island’s many restaurants, offering sumptuous local and international dishes.

Moorealush, laid-back Moorea makes the perfect extension to a tahiti holiday. although it is popular as a day-trip destination from nearby Papeete, it really deserves a longer stay because there are plenty of secrets to discover. the second-largest island in the Windward group of the Society islands, Moorea has managed to hold onto much of its peaceful lifestyle and offers an ambience of easy-going elegance. Surrounded by a spectacular, translucent green lagoon shielding a wealth of wonderful coral reefs brimming with tropical fish, it showcases some sensational snorkelling sites in its warm, sheltered waters.

the island itself is just as picturesque, with vibrantly coloured hibiscus and groves of coconut palms winding along the roadside. lush, dense rainforest lines the foreground of the rugged volcanic peaks and the interior of the island is dotted with pineapple plantations and fragrant vanilla farms.

historical marae, sacred meeting places, provide a tantalising peek into tribal culture, while the high-class resorts ensure visitors have access to every imaginable convenience. there is a choice of spectacular five star offerings like the Sofitel, the hilton, the intercontinental and Moorea Pearl Resort and Spa, complete with overwater bungalows and indulgent day spas, and there are also more affordable, boutique options such as hotel les tipaniers.

New Caledonia


combining the finesse of the french with the friendliness of the South Pacific, New caledonia is a holiday destination unlike any other. Sun, sea, sand and sumptuous cuisine meld together to make the ultimate recipe for a relaxing island escape.

History & cultureNew caledonia was initially settled by the Melanesians approximately 3000 years ago and its ancient tribal culture is still a large part of the local Kanaks way of life. however, its capital, Noumea is also linked to some of history’s greatest adventurers. captain cook discovered it in 1774, on his way to New Zealand but when Napoleon iii came across it in 1853, he was so captivated by the island’s exotic allure he declared Noumea a part of france.

for those who want to take advantage of the relative seclusion.

Natureone of the four richest areas on earth in terms of its biodiversity, New caledonia is home to 3000 indigenous plant species, 4500 species of land animals and 68 types of birds. the national bird, the flightless cagou, will delight birdwatchers, while the world’s largest lagoon is a magical discovery for marine lovers, home to dugongs, nautilus whales and countless numbers of tropical coral and fish.

DiningSavour world-renowned french cuisine, with a selection of exotic food and wine flown directly from france to fill New caledonian tables, complemented by freshly baked croissants, baguettes and patisseries.

the country’s diverse cultural influences can also be seen on the plate and in the variety of restaurants lining the fine dining strips: from italian, indonesian, chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese to traditional Melanesian cuisine, there is something for every taste and every budget. Enjoy it on a secluded beach picnic, over an elegant gourmet dinner fanned by gentle trade winds or simply while watching the world pass by from an outdoor cafe.

ShoppingDesigner labels, the most comprehensive range of french perfumes and cosmetics outside Paris, and the latest in European shoes are all on offer in Noumea’s elegant boutiques. Duty-free shopping is restricted to Noumea.

ˇ Heading hereBourail

knowˇ Get in the know ...Mingle with the locals and taste test the region’s fresh produce straight from local farmers at the Noumea Market. held daily at the Baie de la Moselle, it is a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth, with tables stacked high with colourful seasonal delicacies. Wake up early and head straight down to catch all the action and breakfast on the tastiest fare. fresh fish and shellfish can be found in abundance, vibrant garden vegetables and luscious tropical fruit such as mangoes, passionfruit and pineapples, which can be eaten on the spot.

New Caledoniaˇ Euro chic in the South Pacific

Since then Noumea has been likened to the french Riviera transplanted in the Pacific and is renowned for being the largest and most cosmopolitan city among the South Pacific isles. fine wines, cheeses, pates and game are sold beside coconuts and yams in the fresh produce markets, luxury yachts ply the same waters as traditional outrigger canoes and old friends gather under palms to play petanque in the afternoons.

Islands & resortsthe main island of Grand terre is the largest in the series of atolls that combine to create New caledonia. Known as ‘La Roche’ (the Rock) to the locals, there is a lot more to discover on the main island than Noumea, including the exotic but accessible east coast. five star luxury is a fantastic way to experience the refined flavour of New caledonia and there are several sublime resorts to choose from. the first stop outside Noumea should be the isle of Pines, with its unbelievable beaches and lagoon, volcanic geology, uplifted coral reef and towering pines. it is often referred to as the ‘Jewel of the Pacific’, and a few days exploring its turquoise bays will explain why. le Meridien luxury can be found here, along with the more affordable beach and lagoon-view bungalows of hotel oure isle of Pines.

Some of New caledonia’s most sumptuous landscapes are showcased within the loyalty islands: lifou, Mare and ouvea, mystical lands of legend and tradition. Discover Kanak life in all its authenticity in the loyalty islands, as the locals preserve the most powerful traditions of the territory. there is a nice range of small and affordable village accommodation options

New Caledonia



1. tour the isle of Pines

Virtually untouched, the breathtaking isle of Pines is essential viewing on any New caledonian visit.

2. Scour the Noumea boutiques

Duty-free shopping in the bustling cosmopolitan capital of Noumea is a very pleasant surprise. Beautiful high fashion boutiques feature Europe’s latest trends in a flourish of stunning designer lines and labels.

3. Visit the amedee lighthouse

offering a true desert island experience, the tiny amedee islet, dominated by an historic lighthouse, is just a 30 minute boat trip from Noumea. constructed in Paris in 1865 and sent to the island by Napolean iii, it guided ships into a treacherous lagoon. the whole island offers a castaway-style ambience, and there is excellent snorkelling off the beach.

4. See heavenly hienghene

cascading waterfalls, a fascinating cave, deserted beaches, a beautiful lagoon and colourful coral reefs backdropped by sky-scraping mountains, make up hienghene, on the north-east coast of the main island.

5. Dine out french-style

the food in New caledonia is exceptional. Breakfast on croissants and coffee in a picturesque patisserie and enjoy a full french four course feast in one of the fine restaurants.

6. try windsurfing

one of the world’s favourite windsurfing locations, the Bay of anse Vata and cote Blanche, both in Noumea are well regarded by the world’s top competitors, who regularly come to New calendonia for international competitions, such as the trophee des alizes.

7. take a moment to wonder at the world’s largest lagoon

the pride of New caledonia is its beautiful lagoon, brimming with rich and diverse marine life. its 1600 kilometres of coral reef makes it the second-largest barrier reef on the globe.

8. Paddle the pristine waterways

one of the most magnificent ways to sightsee in New caledonia is on the water, with the lush forests, secret coves and pristine picnic spots at eye level.

9. Go island hopping

it is easy to understand how the loyalty islands got their name, because once you see them you will be forever devoted. ouvea, lifou and Mare are picture perfect, with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters well-preserved by welcoming people who maintain ancient traditions.

10. Witness the whales dancing

from June to September, migrating whales put on a magnificent show off New caledonia’s coast and, if you’re there at the right time, it is a spectacle not to be missed.

Whale Watching Day trip

Noumea Top 5 things to doa fascinating city that offers a slice of french sophistication amid the stunning scenery of the

South Pacific, Noumea is a breathtaking blend of the best of both worlds. Make sure you leave time to enjoy a leisurely lunch in one of the many fantastic cafes, hunt for bargains in the first class boutiques and sunbake on the sand, because there’s so much to do in Noumea that the holiday calendar will fill up fast.

the city is full of classical architecture and elegant Euro-style retreats, such as the central garden square, pretty beachside promenade and botanic sanctuary of Parc forestier, which is full of exotic wildlife, deer and cagou, New caledonia’s national bird. Wake early for the daily fresh food markets and become familiar with the nation’s history in Noumea’s two museums, then experience Melanesian mysticism first hand at the tjibaou cultural centre. the beautiful Gothic cathedral of St Joseph’s showcases spectacular city views, and the beaches at anse Vata, Baie des citrons and Pointe Magnin are hives of windsurfing, snorkelling and swimming activity.

accommodation choices are as abundant as the sightseeing options, and Noumea offers attractive facilities for active families, reclusive romantics or budget explorers.

Cook Islands


Safe, serene, enigmatic and enchanting; a journey to the cook islands is like travelling to another world – a world where pristine environments and wide, welcoming smiles can be taken for granted.

History & cultureDuring the Great Polynesian Migration in 800aD, the cook islands’ people arrived on giant double-hulled canoes (vaka) and established themselves on its sparkling shores. chief toi arrived during the original migration and the grand inland road of coral and limestone that he built 1000 years ago is still visible in Rarotonga. Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to the islands in 1595, followed by captain James cook, the nation’s namesake, in the late 1800s. cook islands’ people are blessed with a lush tapestry of traditions that entwine with their daily lives.

the historic settlement of the tinomana tribe, the royal family of Puaikura village, is a great place to explore. there are many beautiful art galleries dotted around the islands featuring the work of talented locals, and cook islanders take every opportunity to break out into song and dance, with a host of enthralling cultural festivals celebrated every year. ceremonial song and dance is a defining feature of the cook islands. Movements tell the story as much as the words and the highly rhythmic drumming is a finely tuned art form handed down through the generations by teaching the children early.

Islands & resortsRarotonga is the main island. Relatively compact, it is made up of shimmering turquoise lagoons surrounded by a centre of magnificent mountain peaks. Easily circumnavigated in just 45 minutes, with no traffic jams or crowds, it is the essence of a relaxing island retreat. luxury resorts, secluded hideaways, self-catering bungalows and budget hotels can all be found along its white sandy beaches. Days easily dissolve in tranquil pursuits such as swimming, snorkelling, paddling your own canoe, windsurfing and the time-honoured Polynesian tradition of taking an afternoon nap.

aitutaki is the next best known island, and is a sanctuary for anyone after some real time out of the rat race. at the very least, a day trip is essential, as it boasts one of the world’s most beautiful lagoons, including one foot island, the setting for Survivor Cook Islands. Magical atiu island, home to the rare Kapeka bird, and Mangaia island, circled by a fortress-like barricade of coral dotted with limestone caves, are also not to be missed.

Naturecomprising 15 islands scattered over about two million square kilometres of the Pacific ocean, the cook islands are a rare ecological habitat. it is home to six bird species found nowhere else in the world, including the very rare Kakerori. the flora is equally striking, with colourful flowers best displayed in the Maire Nui Botanical Gardens. Marine life is understandably prolific in the azure blue waters and around the extensive reefs.

Diningif you hear the call of the conch shell, you’ll know it is dinnertime. Eating is taken very seriously – it is said cook islanders live to eat rather than eat to live – so expect to indulge in some decadent feasts. Gourmets will love the traditional umukai, where the meal is wrapped in woven baskets, banana, breadfruit or wild hibiscus leaves and cooked in an earth-covered oven. this delicious dining experience is usually completed with an exuberant display of traditional cook islands’ song and dance. Rarotonga features about 50 cafes and restaurants, from romantic fine-dining settings to fun, family-oriented bistros.

Shoppingthe best shopping in the cook islands is centred around the unique local handicrafts, which include jewellery and homewares. the Punanga Nui Markets in the avarua township of Rarotonga are a great way to mix with the locals and find your ideal souvenir amid an eclectic mix of food, fresh produce and craft stalls. local pareu (sarongs), timber carvings and beautiful rito hats are perfect memorabilia, or for something even more special opt for a cultured black pearl.

ˇ Heading hereaitutaki lagoon

knowˇ Get in the know ...all the food in the cook islands is fantastic and there is an endless array of dining options, but there are a few stand-out Rarotongan establishments that always manage to make it onto the recommendation list. tamarind house, owned by cookery book author Sue carruthers and Robert Brown (formerly of the flame tree Restaurant) is usually a good bet, and the talented chefs at Vaima Restaurant, Windjammer and cafe Salsa can generally be counted on to serve up something special.

Cook Islands



1. Swim in aitutaki lagoon

the vivid aqua waters of the tranquil and temperate aitutaki lagoon are edged with dazzling white sand and dense palm forests. it is a perfectly preserved, postcard-quality attraction and when you go there you can experience the magic, swimming and snorkelling to your heart’s desire.

2. Spend time in avarua

Vibrant avarua is the cook islands’ main commercial centre. Stretching out along a breathtaking harbour, it is stocked with all the essential amenities.

3. Become an island art connoisseur

Rarotonga has an excellent selection of art galleries exhibiting a wide range of tribal and traditional art. there are many talented local carvers where you can buy wooden carvings or statues of all shapes and sizes.

4. See the outlying islands

Venturing further afield is always rewarding and the outer atolls are magnificent. Be enchanted by the unspoilt beauty of the northern group, including Pukapuka, Manihiki, Penrhyn, Rakahanga, Nassau and Suwarrow.

5. Explore the limestone caves

aitu is known for its palatial limestone caves, resplendent with stalactites and stalagmites. the most famous cave is Kopeka cave, a stunning geological phenomenon that shelters the Kopeka, a rare bird.

6. indulge in an island Night

a long evening of traditional feasting and entertainment, the island Nights at many resorts are an experience not to be missed, beginning with a buffet of local delicacies and ending with pulsating drums, swaying hips and colourful costumes.

7. Strap on a snorkel

You simply can’t leave the cook islands until you meet a few of the myriad marine species that flourish in the country’s sparkling lagoons. Muri Beach and titikaveka lagoon on Rarotonga are two fabulous places to start.

8. cross the island of Rarotonga

the track takes in some beautiful scenery, but is best for experienced, well-prepared hikers. four-wheel drive tours are a fantastic way of traversing the island’s rugged interior and taking in the te Rua Manga rock.

9. See aitutaki’s sacred sites

Each village has their own marae, or meeting place, which is the centre of village life and has strong cultural significance. those found on aitutaki atoll are marked with huge stones and offer intriguing insight into the cook island’s culture.

10. Sight the rare Kakerori bird

found only in the high forests on the south coast of Rarotonga and the low forests on atiu, sighting this rare species is a memorable occurrence.

the hurried hand of the western world does not reach Samoa, tonga and Niue. they are true tropical paradises, existing in an ageless state of ecological innocence, where ancient rainforests are filled with flocks of rainbow-winged butterflies and dolphins are regular swimming companions.

History & culturethe least exploited of all the South Pacific islands, tonga and Samoa are still bedrocks of Polynesian tradition, with tribal chiefs (called nobles) wielding decisive political power. the sunny and easy-going nature of the Samoans has triumphed over its turbulent history of fighting, disease and difficult trading relationships with brazen European explorers. the faa Samoa, or Samoan way, defined by relaxed, open smiles, continues to flourish today. Meanwhile, the Kingdom of

tonga has never been colonised, so it has been able to preserve its ancient Polynesian traditions and remains the only monarchy in the Pacific. the lesser-known isle of Niue is their own historical colony, discovered by migrating tongans, Samoans and cook islanders. While it is also distinctly Polynesian, instead of a tribal hierarchy, it is guided by a family or clan-based political structure, which helped give rise to its current parliamentary democracy. all three islands embrace an unhurried atmosphere, where lifestyle is paramount.

Islands & resortsall three nations offer visitors genuine hospitality and high service standards, and within these spectacular island havens there is a range of accommodation to suit every budget and style of holiday. Samoa’s islands include upolu and the ‘big island’, Savaii. upolu is a sultry and verdant island, which blends a striking mountainous interior with beautiful beaches, plays host to the capital city, apia, and offers excellent roads for those keen on exploring. Savaii is less refined, and is ideal for venturing off the beaten track to experience village life at its most authentic, surrounded by stunning wild beaches, a pristine lagoon, rugged volcanic craters and lava tubes, and dense tropical rainforest.

the 171 islands in the Kingdom of tonga stretch like glittering green gems across the velvet blue Pacific ocean. Most of the tongan population reside on tongatapu in the centre of Nukualofa, but this is just the beginning of the nation’s significant allure. the gorgeous coral-crusted islands of the haapai group and the translucent waters, jungle-covered islands and powdery

white-sand beaches of the Vavau archipelago offer exotic extensions to any tongan holiday. tongan accommodation also ranges from basic to casual-luxury lodgings.

Niue is the most secluded of the three, with a quarter of the sizeable island dedicated to dense virgin rainforest, full of glorious wildlife, which you can wander through on guided walks. With only 90 rooms available on Niue, migrating whales sometimes outnumber the visitors.

NatureYou can encounter all the mystical landforms and marine environments available in the South Pacific within these three nations; from oceanic atolls to active volcanoes and uplifted limestone islands. Experience magnificent multi-coloured coral reefs, seemingly endless strips of white-sand beaches, rugged forested mountains, awesome gorges, thundering waterfalls and bubbling blowholes.

Diningthe umu (underground oven) is the traditional cooking method, and island favourites, such as taro, cassava, shellfish and every imaginable type of tropical fruit usually make an appearance. the Samoan Fiafia nights are not to be missed; a mouth-watering buffet-style menu followed by traditional dancing shows.

try the tongan national specialties including ufi (a large white yam) and lu pulu (meat and onions, marinated in coconut milk and baked in taro leaves in an underground oven). feasts play a major role in the tongan lifestyle, and up to 30 different dishes may be served on a pola (a long tray of plaited coconut fronds).

ˇ Heading here

knowˇ Get in the know ...Surfers are in for a surprise in Samoa. on Savaii, surfing hot spots include lano and ananoa Beach in the south-west, and Manase and fagamalo in the north. on upolu, the best places to surf are from apia, east to cape utumauu and on the south coast from Matautu to Matatufu. a small fee is payable to the villagers for each day in the surf to help further the young ones’ education. Experienced surfers can aim to catch northern swells in the wet season from November to april and southern swells in the dry season in between.

Samoa, Tonga & Niue


1. follow Samoa’s volcano trail

Savaii’s spectacular falealupo Peninsula contrasts its wild beaches and rainforest reserve canopy walk with the unusual lava tubes in which villagers used to shelter during severe cyclones. in the Saleaula lava field, also on Savaii, see the fascinating remains of the five villages buried beneath molten lava from the Mount Matavanu eruption.

2. Swim with the dolphins at Niue

the deep water directly off the coast of Niue means schools of dolphin are permanent residents. While locals are quick to explain it is not a retail experience, chances are that when you go for an ocean swim you will make at least one dolphin friend.

3. Visit upolu’s Piula cave, Samoa

a remarkable natural wonder, the refreshing pool at Piula is freshwater, yet it is located on a rocky beach and is separated from the ocean by only two metres!

4. Join a Niue Village Show Day

time your holiday to coincide with one of Niue’s 14 annual show days, an enthralling exhibition of local cooking, craft, sporting and cultural skills, followed by a traditional feast.

5. See the Samoan pyramid

Samoa’s most mysterious ancient monument and Polynesia’s largest ancient structure, Savaii’s Pulemelei Step Pyramid is a mind-blowing man-made wonder.

6. tour the tongan capital

While in Nukualofa visit tonga’s Royal Palace, home of his Majesty King taufaahau tupou iV, pick up some fresh picnic supplies from the colourful talamahu markets. Not too far from town you can find the Royal tombs, where tonga’s kings and queens are buried.

7. Visit aleipata, Samoa

Explore the stunning beaches along the south-west coast of Samoa, offering idyllic conditions for swimming, snorkelling or just soaking up the beautiful South Pacific sunshine.

8. Swim with the whales in tonga

the Vavau group, 80 kilometres north of the main island, has particularly superb waterways, pristine islands and a huge natural harbour. the experience is extra special from June to November, when you have ringside seats to the migration of the humpback whales.

9. Witness the alofaaga blowholes

Samoa boasts some of the world’s largest marine blowholes, and seeing the roaring jetstream shoot hundreds of metres into the air is an experience that should not be missed.

10. Visit a church to hear some amazing singing by the locals

Religion is an important part of life for Pacific islanders. Visit a local village church on a Sunday to hear amazing singing and experience this important part of the culture, first hand.

Tonga Top 5 things to doRelatively undeveloped, tonga embraces the quiet, casual ambience that seems synonymous

with island life. the main island of tongatapu boasts a wealth of archeological treasures, an endless strip of beautiful, deserted beaches and the national capital of Nukualofa, which most of the population, including the royal family, call home. a study in contrasts, tongatapu offers some captivating coastal and clifftop walks, fascinating royal tombs (langi), magnificent limestone caves and a bustling tropical market in Nuku’alofa. But by far its most vivid attraction is the casual atmosphere, where cars crawl along empty roads at 40 kilometres an hour and nobody is ever in a hurry; where absolutely everything shuts down on Sundays and where you can fish, swim, snorkel or soak up the sun to your heart’s content.

Even more special are the coral islands just off tongatapu’s coast. Visually spectacular and virtually uninhabited, they are true Pacific jewels, complete with sparkling beaches and sensational offshore snorkelling. While several offer accommodation, such as fafa island, most are deserted and only accessed on day-trip adventures. Even further flung, the haapai, Vavau and Niuas island groups still live largely according to traditional customs. accommodation in tonga mimics the casual lifestyle, often using traditional tongan-style beachside bungalows.

Savour the timeless tranquillity

1. Explore Eua’s national park

a short flight from tongatapu, discover the island of Eua on foot or on horseback.

2. Shop at Nukualofa markets

3. Give game fishing a go

4. Scuba dive from haapai

5. Visit a deserted island

than comfortable. You’ll rediscover what’s been lost in this modern world. With a population of less than 1500, your journey will begin as Niue welcomes you into its heart like no other nation.

Niue lies within a triangle bounded by tonga, Samoa and the cook islands and is a delightful and convenient island destination for couples seeking a tranquil, laid-back holiday experience. With accommodation options ranging from individual intimate bures to an international–style resort, Niue’s proudly one of the safest countries on earth.

the people are gentle, the climate’s languid, but this eco-tourist’s paradise is blessed with such an array of stunning natural attractions you may not be content to just watch peacefully! Some happily do, but many don’t.

one of the largest raised coral atolls in the world means a spectacular series of reefs, canyons and caverns are sculpted beneath the surface, and teem with the brilliant colour of diverse fish life. it yields the shelter humpback whales need to calve and frolic. this all makes for an exhilarating and memorable experience for novice to pro divers.

Undiscovered, unspoiled, unbelievable

1. find fishermen’s heaven

Easily accessible deep water and a wealth of wahoo, tuna and marlin.

2. Swim with the whales

REGARDING OUR BROCHURES: Please read these terms and conditions carefully as they incorporate the basis upon which bookings are accepted by Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays (‘Infinity Holidays’, ‘we’ or ‘us’).

BROCHURE: This brochure was submitted for print on 24 December 2009. While Infinity Holidays has exercised reasonable care and skill to ensure that the contents of this brochure are correct, accurate and up-to-date at the time of printing. Please note that the contents of this brochure are based on information supplied to us by third-party suppliers and we do not have, and cannot be reasonably expected to have, personal knowledge about all of the facilities or services provided by each supplier; and facilities or services may change after the date of printing. Prior to making a booking, you should ask your travel consultant about any changes to the published information of which we may be aware. You should also make sure that if we are advised of changes that occur after booking, we can contact you.

PRICES: The prices in this brochure are valid for travel from 1 April 2010 to 31 March 2011. Please note that prices quoted here are subject to change. This may occur due to matters outside our control which increase the cost of the product or service. Such factors include (without limitation) adverse currency fluctuations, fuel surcharges, taxes and airfare increases. Please contact your travel consultant for up-to-date prices. Unless otherwise stated, prices are inclusive of taxes and charges that apply as at 9 November 2009but they do not include any fees that may be imposed directly by third parties. Prices are in Australian dollars and are valid for travel departing Australia (unless otherwise stated).

AGENCY: Infinity Holidays puts together holiday packages but is not itself a transport, tour, event or accommodation provider: it acts only as an agent for those service providers. It is therefore important for you to obtain and read the service providers’ terms and conditions applicable to the products in your package. Also, make sure you are aware of any exclusions or limitations of liability imposed by the service providers, some of which may limit or exclude liability in respect to death, personal injury, delay and loss or damage to baggage. Infinity Holidays has no responsibility for the products or services provided by these service providers, nor does it make or give any warranty or representation regarding the standard of those products or services. All bookings are made subject to the terms and conditions, and limitations of liability imposed by those service providers. Your legal recourse is against the specific provider and not Infinity Holidays. If for any reason any travel service provider is unable to provide the services for which you have contracted, your remedy lies against the provider and not with Infinity Holidays.

LIABILITY: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we exclude all liability of whatever nature, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, for the acts, omissions or default, whether negligent or otherwise, of third-party providers over whom we have no direct control, and for any loss or damage whatsoever (including but not limited to physical and psychological injury and loss or damage to property of whatever nature) that may arise in any way in connection to the offer or supply of products or services through Infinity Holidays or any third parties, or in connection with the supply of such products or services. Under circumstances where liability cannot be excluded, such liability is limited to the value of the purchased travel arrangements. We do not accept any liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any injury, damage, loss (including consequential loss), delay, additional expense or inconvenience caused directly or indirectly by force majeure or any other event that is beyond our control, which is not preventable by reasonable diligence on our part.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS: Travel documents include (without limitation) airline tickets, hotel vouchers, tour vouchers or any other document (whether in electronic form or otherwise) used to confirm an arrangement with a service provider. Travel documents may be subject to certain conditions and/or restrictions including (without limitation) being non-refundable, non-date-changeable and subject to cancellation and/or amendment fees. All travel documents are non-transferable. All airline tickets must be issued in the name of the passport/photo identity holder; some carriers will deny carriage if the name varies and the booking may be cancelled. It is your responsibility to collect all travel documents prior to travel.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Travel insurance is strongly recommended by the Department of Foreign Affairs and

Trade for all overseas travel. Your travel consultant can provide information to you about travel insurance. For details of the services they provide, including a quote, please refer to their Financial Services Guide.

PASSPORTS & VISAS: It is your responsibility to ensure you have valid passports, visas and re-entry permits that meet the requirements of immigration and other government authorities. Any fines, penalties, payments or expenditures incurred as a result of such documents not meeting the requirements of those authorities will be your sole responsibility. All travellers must have a valid passport for international travel and many countries require at least six months validity from the date of entry. If you need information regarding visa and other travel document requirements for your trip, please ask your travel consultant.

TRAVEL ADVICE: Infinity Holidays makes no representations as to the safety, conditions or other issues that may exist at any destination. For travel advice, please contact the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or visit their website at <www.smartraveller.gov.au>.

HEALTH: It is your responsibility to ensure you are aware of any health requirements for your travel destinations and to ensure that you carry all necessary vaccination documentation.

TAXES: Certain taxes are mandatory in various countries. There may also be an additional local tax charged at some airports. All taxes are subject to change without notice. All prices and charges in this brochure include Australian GST where applicable.

DEPOSITS & FINAL PAYMENTS: A non-refundable deposit of $165 per person for international bookings and $55 per person for domestic bookings is payable within seven days of confirmation of your reservation. You will be notified at the time of your reservation if any additional deposit requirements apply. All deposits are non-refundable. Full payment for your holiday package is required at least 30 days prior to departure, or by the sale end date or payment deadline specified in individual package conditions, whichever is earliest. If for any reason we do not receive the deposit or your balance by the due date, we reserve the right to treat your booking as cancelled and to apply the appropriate cancellation charges. A deposit holds services requested but does not guarantee prices. Bookings made within 30 days of departure will only be accepted if full payment is received by Infinity Holidays at the time of reservation. The price of your holiday may change at any time until the full payment is received and airline tickets are issued. Tickets will be issued within one business day of receiving full payment. If we have to change any part of your booking for reasons beyond our control, for example if an airline changes its schedules, if a hotelier overbooks hotel accommodation or if there are any changes in applicable taxes or charges, we will notify you. If any such changes result in your holiday costing more or otherwise being materially different from that originally booked, then you may cancel the holiday and we will refund any monies already paid less any charges levied by suppliers.

CANCELLATION FEES: Cancelled bookings will incur charges. These charges can be up to 100% of the cost of the booking, regardless of whether travel has commenced. Fees will also apply where a booking is changed or tickets are re-issued. Without limitation, the following cancellation fees will apply as a minimum and are subject to change – International: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $165 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking and any airline cancellation fees on the air portion. Domestic: after full payment, the cancellation fee on packages will be the non-refundable deposit of $55 per person plus any supplier fees on the land portion of your booking. Domestic airfares are non-refundable.

AMENDMENTS: An amendment is a change to an existing booking with the same inclusions. Any supplier or airline amendment fees will be charged. A transfer to another package may be treated as a cancellation and operator cancellation fees may apply. If the new package is of greater value and no operator fees apply, there will be no amendment/reissue fee.

REFUNDS: To the extent permitted by law, no refund is available for cancellations after the holiday package has commenced or in respect of any tours, accommodation, meals or any other services not utilised. Requests for refunds received more than six months after the departure date for travel will not be accepted.

NOT INCLUDED IN PRICE OF HOLIDAY: All passengers are responsible for the cost of their own travel arrangements to and from their departure point (as set out in the brochure). The cost of anything not specifically noted as being included in the holiday package is at the passenger’s expense.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS: Product descriptions featured in this brochure are based on current international hotel guides and information provided by hotels and suppliers. Any facilities shown as included are subject to change at any time. The standard of accommodation and other services is based on various factors, which are generally accepted as indicative of a certain class. However, Infinity Holidays does not guarantee the standard, class or fitness for purpose of that accommodation or service.

MAPS & PHOTOGRAPHS: Maps are shown for general information and may not necessarily reflect actual routings, locations or services provided. Photographs show places in the geographic areas, but are not necessarily included in the holiday. Hotel room photographs are representative only, and the actual rooms occupied may vary in decor and inclusions from those shown. Many images are supplied courtesy of tourist bureaus, hotels and tour operators.

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS: The prices shown are for payment by cash. A credit card surcharge will apply when paying by credit card.

PRIVACY POLICY: Infinity Holidays is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information. Our Privacy Policy is available for viewing at <www.flightcentre.com.au>, or ask your travel consultant for details.

BAGGAGE: Carriers publish baggage allowances applicable for carriage over their own services. Allowances include cabin baggage and checked baggage. These allowances tend to be based on a weight allowance or a piece system. We recommend you check your baggage allowance carefully as you may incur a charge for the carriage of baggage in excess of their free baggage allowance. Carriers also publish baggage safety notices, which detail items that cannot be carried or can only be carried in checked baggage. Again, we recommend you ask your chosen carrier about the applicable baggage safety requirements.

PRE-DEPARTURE CONTACT: Please ensure your travel consultant advises Infinity Holidays of a telephone number or address where you can be reached within 24 hours prior to your departure from Australia.

BOOKING ARRANGEMENTS: To make a booking, select the holiday of your choice and then contact your licensed or AFTA travel consultant who will request a reservation for you. All reservations are subject to availability at the time of booking. Any verbal quote given is an estimate only and can only be confirmed when the reservation is confirmed and the deposit is received. When a booking is made, the person effecting the booking is deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions on behalf of all people named in the booking. The contract will be governed by and subject to these terms and conditions. No variations to these terms and conditions will be of any effect unless made in writing and with the authority of Infinity Holidays. All communications from us will be sent to your travel consultant. Your travel consultant will, on receipt of any holiday monies, hold such monies for each and every person named in the booking until that booking is confirmed, at which time those monies shall be promptly remitted by your travel consultant to Infinity Holidays.

MONIES NOT HELD ON TRUST: All monies paid by you to us will be the property of Infinity Holidays and will be a debt due and payable to the relevant supplier (contingent on availing) once the services to which the money relates have been availed or the relevant booking is cancelled (subject to cancellation fees). You agree and acknowledge that such monies will not be held by Infinity Holidays on trust for or on behalf of you.

GOVERNING LAW: The terms and conditions contained within this brochure are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Flight Centre Limited (ABN 25 003 377 188) trading as Infinity Holidays. Licence numbers QLD 3124259, NSW 2TA002547, VIC 32360, WA 9TA 1362, SA TTA192799, ACT 18800566.
