# trip to Fiji/Tonga/Samoa in July 2008 Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
sofiekerys 14:22 UTC 24 Nov 2007 | Hello everyone, I am a 31 year old single female traveller from Belgium. In 2003 I did a fantastic trip to French Polynesia and in 2008 I'm planning to discover more of the South Pacific. Unfortunately I only have 2-3 weeks to travel... This is the itinerary I've been looking at: - 4 days Fiji: Coral Coast - 5 days Tonga: Fafa Island - 4 days Samoa: Upolu - 3 days Samoa: Savaii I am not planning to lie on the beach all day, but to explore the islands (nature / culture)... Any comments ? Your advice is more than welcome (positive remarks too :-) ). Thanks ! |
Laszlo 15:42 UTC 24 Nov 2007 | If I were you, I'd stick to one or two countries. 4-7 days/country seems horribly short time to me. And it seems the bigger the country, the less time you allowed for it... | 1
islandboi321 00:48 UTC 25 Nov 2007 | Hi Sofie Agree with Laszlo... A week in a country is not enough.... You'll be spending alot of time recovering from jetlag, getting ready to leave... These things alone can take up a few days. I understand what you are trying to do... economize your time and money. The S. Pacific is a LONG way from Europe and you want to get "a bang for your buck" and see as much as possible. I personally would find that too exhausting. I would recommend you choose one country and have time to explore and enjoy. Have fun! | 2
raro 03:06 UTC 25 Nov 2007 | I'd either Fiji on the one hand, or possibly a combination of Tonga and Samoa on the other, but not all three in that short time period. | 3
Taimarilyn 04:51 UTC 26 Nov 2007 | Agree with all above - and if you did decide on Fiji - NOT the Coral Coast! | 4
