trip to Fiji/Tonga/Samoa in July 2008

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 !

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...

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!

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.

Agree with all above - and if you did decide on Fiji - NOT the Coral Coast!
