South Pacific Travel

Hey,

South Pacific is my destination for 6 weeks during the summer of 2013. I'm teaching in Fiji for 2 weeks before travelling to Samoa, Cook Islands (Raro & Aitutaki) before finishing off in French Polynesia!

Has anyone ever been to these places? I'm homestaying in Fiji and at weekends travelling to Yasawa islands. Samoa = relax! Cook islands I intend to rent scooters..kiteboard in Aitutaki and chill on the beaches. French Polynesia = chill out! I intend to do as much water sports/snorkeling as possible too in all these places! I really have no idea how much to budget per day. I'm going to stay in hostels and with regards to food I'm not that fussed either. I didn't want to keep my eye on money and really do want to enjoy every day as much as possible. Was thinking approx £80 per day! What are your thoughts?

ANY help/information would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Danny

Are you aware there aren't direct flights from French Polynesia to neither Fiji nor Samoa?

i went on the STA website (as i'm doing the teaching placement through them) and they have flights London-Fiji-Samoa-Cooks-Tahiti-London

they have flights London-Fiji-Samoa-Cooks-Tahiti-London

Did you verify if the leg from Samoa to the Cooks is non-stop?
I guess the option they are ofering will be backtracking through Auckland.

samoa - cooks i have a quote for about £250 on way with virgin australia

does anyone know how much to budget per day for Fiji, Cooks, Samoa and French Polynesia? I'm looking at staying in basic hotels, eating basic and doing a few watersports

many thanks for any help!!!!
