About the Destination
This beautiful island is a small gem in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with long, white sandy beaches, and lush interior forests. There is plenty to do here and swimming, snorkelling, deep-sea fishing, and hiking make the top of the list. If these activities are too much after a week of running, you can pick your favourite palm tree on the beach and enjoy a hard-earned tropical drink. Whatever you do, you shouldn’t miss Wigmore Falls (Papua Falls) or the ancient marae, Arai te Tonga. The pace is relaxed, the people are friendly, and the scenery cannot be beat.
