SOUTH PACIFIC & OCEANIA
Far Away, and Worth Every Mile.
Fiji, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia and the Cook Islands, planned by people who know how far you are flying and make every mile count.
The South Pacific rewards the traveler who plans it properly. The distances are real, the islands are spread across an ocean, and the difference between the right resort and the wrong one is often a domestic flight nobody mentioned. Fiji and Tahiti are each a single overnight flight from the West Coast. New Zealand and Australia deserve two weeks, not ten days. We design the whole route, so the long flight is the only long part of the trip.
WHY TRAVEL THE SOUTH PACIFIC WITH TDC
An Ocean This Big Rewards a Plan.
Most South Pacific disappointment comes down to logistics, not the hotel: a resort that looked close to the airport but sits a boat ride and a seaplane away, a family booked onto an adults-only island, a New Zealand itinerary that spends more time driving than doing.
We match the island to the trip, sequence the flights so you are not losing days in transit, and tell you plainly when a combination like Fiji and New Zealand works and when it does not.
✦ Family and adults-only placements across Fiji’s islands
✦ Multi-country routing for Fiji, Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia
✦ Timed to the right season, from the dry months to whale season in Tonga
SOUTH PACIFIC EXPERIENCES
What We Design Beyond the Villa
OVERWATER & PRIVATE ISLANDS
Your Own Stretch of Lagoon
Overwater villas in Bora Bora and Moorea, private island resorts in Fiji’s outer islands, and the seaplane or boat transfer that gets you there without the guesswork.
REEFS & OCEAN
Under the Surface
Soft coral in Fiji’s Somosomo Strait, sharks in Beqa Lagoon, the Great Barrier Reef, and swimming with humpback whales in Tonga from July to October.
LODGES & ROAD JOURNEYS
New Zealand and Australia, Unhurried
Luxury lodges, Fiordland and Queenstown, the Great Barrier Reef, the Red Centre at Uluru, and wine country from Marlborough to the Barossa, paced so you actually enjoy it.
WHERE WE SEND YOU
Three Fiji Properties. Three Completely Different Trips.
Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort
Savusavu, Vanua Levu
On the quiet island of Vanua Levu, a short domestic flight from Nadi, with marine biologist-led reef excursions and one of the most complete family programs in the Pacific: the Bula Club for younger children, a teen program, and nannies on request. Parents get a real holiday. Children come home knowing the names of the fish.
Nanuku Resort
Pacific Harbour, Viti Levu
About two hours by road from Nadi, no boat or seaplane required. Private villas on the edge of Beqa Lagoon, the Navua River at the back door, and a nanny assigned to every child under six.
Tokoriki Island Resort
Mamanuca Islands
An adults-only island in the Mamanucas, minimum age 16, reached by boat, seaplane or helicopter from Nadi. Pool villas, sunsets over the water, and nothing on the schedule you did not put there. The answer for couples and honeymoons.

THE REST OF THE REGION
We Plan the Whole Pacific.
The places above are where most South Pacific trips begin. They are not the only islands we send you to.
Samoa · Lagoon swims at To Sua Ocean Trench, waterfalls, and a culture that is lived rather than performed.
Tonga · Swimming with humpback whales in Vava’u from July to October, one of very few places in the world where you can.
Vanuatu · The rim of Mount Yasur on Tanna, one of the most accessible active volcanoes on earth, and wreck diving off Espiritu Santo.
Don’t see your island? Ask. If it is in the Pacific, we can get you there.
