When thinking of tropical destinations for your vacation, you may think Caribbean or Hawaii.  While those are fantastic places to visit when going on a trip, there are other places throughout the world that have lots to offer the traveler who loves beach destinations and everything that comes with them.  The South Pacific is one of those areas of the world that has hundreds of different destinations for the tourists.

Fiji tropical vacations are some of the most popular in the South Pacific region.  They are relatively easy to get to, and once you get past the plane costs, they can be pretty cheap to visit.  You can live like a king as well if you have the money to do so, but there is a lot to offer any traveler with any budget.  Luxurious resorts dot the islands, and if a luxury vacation is what you are looking for, then you have come to the right place.  The rich and famous have been visiting Fiji for years, but if you are not one of those, don’t worry, there’s plenty to offer you as well.  Backpackers have also been flocking to Fiji because of the availability of cheap accommodations and cheap food.  Once you get there, it is possible to live on as little as twenty five dollars a day.

If you are looking for a place that’s not quite as touristy as Fiji, then you might want to consider Cook Islands vacations.  The Cook Islands are off the beaten path a bit and take a little more effort to get there.  But it is possible, and if you have the time, you will be rewarded with a tropical oasis and a great chance to hang out with the locals, who don’t see nearly as many tourists and haven’t been spoiled as of yet by the negatives that tourism brings to certain regions.  So if you can make it, head to the Cooks for an unforgettable experience.
