Help needed!Vanuatu,Western Samoa,New Caledonia or Solomon Islands!Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea | ||
hi everybody! i have to decide which of the following islands(only one) i add to my rtw ticket-Vanuatu,Western Samoa,New Caledonia or Solomon Islands! does anybody know which of them is the cheapest because we are travelling on a budget and has the best diving/snorkelling? any other arguments for one of these islands? thanks a lot and have a good day mario | ||
Frstly, all of these countries comprise many islands, not just one. New Caledonia would be the most expensive. Solomon Islands is reputed to have the best diving. | 1 | |

Should be Ok in any of those places at that time of year. For Solomon Islands, check Visit Solomons the official tourist bureau website. | 3 | |
I've been to all the islands but Solomon. Vanuatu and New Caledonia are very expensive. I recomed you to visit Western Samoa. It's a magic place and one of the best places where I've been snorkelling. While I was in Samoa I slept on Fao Fao Beach Fale on Saleapaga Beach. I had a hut for me just for 25€ (3 meals included), the beach was perfect and the fale was on the shore. I would never forget the sunrises, sunsets from my hut , and the sound of the waves breaking in to the reefs...it's the perfect place to relax. Here you have some photos I took: | 4 | |
