Bora Bora Lagoon
Thanks to its incredible beauty, the picture-perfect lagoon of Bora Bora enjoys worldwide fame. The small island in the South Pacific belongs to the archipelago of French Polynesia and is one of the most expensive holiday destinations in the world. No wonder - hardly anywhere else is the fine sand whiter, the sea bluer and the coral world more colourful than on this secluded island paradise.

Rock Islands of Palau
More than 400 mini-islands, strung like emerald green pearls in the dark blue Pacific, form the striking Rock Islands south of Palau's main island of Babeldaob. Each islet is a breathtaking paradise with lush nature, secluded beaches and a lively underwater world, where diving is one of the highlights. Jellyfish Lake is one of the diving highlights.
Funafuti Atoll on Tuvalu
Funafuti is the main atoll of the nine island atolls that, together with 100 other islets, form the Pacific state of Tuvalu. There are neither museums nor churches, no national parks or archaeological sites here, only endless beaches with lush green coconut palms swaying above them. Far away from civilisation, every stressed mind finds peace in the white sand.
Tumon on Guam
Tumon is the tourist centre of the South Sea island of Guam. There is more to discover at the dreamlike Tumon Bay than sun, beach and sea; the exquisite shopping malls have even earned the small town the nickname "Paris of the Pacific". Luxurious clubs and hotels ensure a lively nightlife, and at Two Lover's Point many a couple has already sworn eternal fidelity to each other.
Champagne Beach on Vanuatu
Vanuatu's Champagne Beach has been voted the most beautiful beach in the South Seas several times. The 1 km long sandy strip in the north-east of the main island Espiritu Santo impresses - typical for the South Seas - with white sand and turquoise blue sea and is framed by a real forest. Champagne Beach gets its name from the volcanic rock that keeps sending small bubbles to the surface of the sea.
Kiribati Phoenix Islands
Except perhaps on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, divers will not find better conditions anywhere else than on the Phoenix Islands on Kiribati. The eight atolls are all UNESCO World Heritage Sites and form the largest marine protected area in the world. Completely undisturbed, an incomparable underwater world could develop here, in which 120 coral species and over 500 different fish live - "as long as the ocean can remember".
Falealupo Rainforest Reserve on Savaii
On Savaii, a small island in Western Samoa, South Seas holidaymakers can get up close and personal with the rainforest in a particularly spectacular way. The so-called Canopy Aerial Walkway leads through the lush green canopy of the jungle at a height of 40 metres in the Falealupo Rainforest Reserve and offers the unique opportunity to experience birds, monkeys and other tropical tree-top inhabitants at close qu arters.
East Renell
East Renell was the first site in the South Pacific Islands to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and forms a spectacular symbiosis of forest, lake and sea. At Lake Tegano, the largest lake in the Pacific archipelago, countless endemic species thrive, most of which have managed to escape the life-threatening influence of humans to this day.
Tjibaou Cultural Centre on New Caledonia
State-of-the-art technology in the middle of the South Pacific can be admired at the Tjibaou Cultural Centre on New Caledonia. The museum, which is modelled on a Kanak village, is the venue for cultural events, exhibitions, conferences and concerts to promote and preserve Kanak culture.
Latte Quarry on the Island of Rota
The so-called latte stones are inseparably linked to South Pacific culture. This can be experienced in a particularly impressive way on the island of Rota, an island in the Northern Marianas. The latte quarry there is the place of origin of numerous ceremonial megaliths of the Chamarro people, the indigenous people of the Northern Marianas and the neighbouring island of Guam.
