How to Visit Every Country in the Pacific – The Ultimate Guide for 2024

Travelling to the Pacific islands might sound like the perfect beach holiday. And that’s true if you are planning to spend a week in the Cook Islands or Tahiti.

But if you wish to see more than just one country or some of the lesser-known islands, you may run into some logistical issues.

Hi, we’re Rach & Marty!

We’ve visited every country in the world and want to help you get the most out of your travels!

Whether you need an expertly planned itinerary , some experienced hints and tips , or just craving a delicious food adventure , we’ve got you covered!

We may earn affiliate commissions from websites we link to, at no cost to you. Click here for details.

You might also be one of the very few visitors on the island.

If you plan to visit every country in the Pacific, this guide is just for you.

Update 2024: This guide on how to visit every country in the Pacific was initially researched and written in 2020 to help travellers plan their trip. We’ve made updates as per real-time information from other travellers who have since travelled this route in 2023.

How to Visit Every Country in the Pacific – The Ultimate Guide

Table of Contents

Visiting countries or territories in the Pacific – know the difference

There are many islands in the Pacific. Some islands are independent countries; others are overseas territories.

Here is a little list to help you understand the difference.

Every country in the Pacific – There are officially 14 countries in the region known as Oceania: 

• New Zealand
• The Marshall Islands,
• Micronesia (the Federated States of)
• Papua New Guinea,
• The Solomon Islands

These are the dependent territories of five countries:

• USA:  American Samoa ,  Guam ,  Northern Mariana Islands, Wake Island
• New Zealand:  Cook Islands ,  Niue ,  Tokelau
• France : French Polynesia ,  New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna
• Australia:  Norfolk Island
• United Kingdom:  Pitcairn Islands

PS: Don’t forget that there is also Hawaii. It is not a territory but the 50th state of the USA.

This article focuses more on countries in the Pacific, rather than on the territories. There seem to be a few articles dedicated to the Cook Islands and French Polynesia, so I will try to focus on the countries as it’s harder to find more info.

Which countries in Oceania are developed for tourism?

Regarding infrastructure for tourism and visitors, you would find plenty in some countries. Australia, New Zealand and Fiji lead in the region and are visited by many people yearly.

You will find everything from tour operators to extensive options for accommodation. Check out Viator or GetYourGuide to book the best day trips and extraordinary experiences in this region.

Our blog about  the best travel websites to save money may be helpful to help you plan. And if you’re up for it, why not do the Big Lap of Oz?

Here are our 9 best tips for travelling the whole lap of Australia . 

Don’t forget to try these 12 Classic Australian foods while you’re there.

Vanuatu , Samoa and Tonga would come second, and you can find plenty to do here. There is a wide range of accommodation as well.

We recommend using  Booking.com  in this part of the world.

Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands have been focusing on building tourism in the past few years. Especially considering the proximity to Australia these islands could see a rise in visitors as long as the infrastructure is there.

Don’t forget that the real gems are located outside the capital city and require another domestic flight.

When it comes to the remaining countries – the infrastructure is more limited as there are very few travellers or tourists here. That includes  Tuvalu , Kiribati,  Nauru ,  Marshall Islands  and  Micronesia .

This means limited flights and limited accommodation.

Of course, let’s not forget Hawaii which is a very popular destination in the Pacific for the US as well as international tourists.

Which territories should you visit in the Pacific?

When it comes to the territories, the easiest to visit would be French Caledonia (Tahiti and Bora Bora), the  Cook Islands and New Caledonia. The rest of the territories are somewhat undiscovered.

Where should you go first? 

This depends if you are planning to visit one country, or multiple islands or try to see all of them in one trip. It’s probably best to look at flight connections for multiple country trips and follow those.

For example, you might visit Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands with Vanuatu. Or use Fiji as a base to see Tonga, Samoa and Tuvalu .

If you are planning to visit all the countries in one trip, then careful planning and flexibility is the key—more on that below in our suggested itinerary.

How to Visit Every Country in the Pacific – By Plane, Cruise or Ship

Airlines in the Pacific:

Numerous airlines connect the Pacific with major air hubs:

The main players are Virgin Australia, Air New Zealand, Fiji Airways, Nauru Air, Air Niugini and United Airlines.

We used Skyscanner to plan and book flights for our itinerary around the Pacific. 

From Australia, you will find direct flights to Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa and Nauru.

If you are in New Zealand, you can quickly get to Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu, Fiji and the Cook Islands.

Finally, when travelling from the USA, you can fly to Fiji, and Australia and connect to the rest.

But more importantly, the so-called United Island Hopper connects Hawaii with the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Guam and then flies onto Manila.

United is the only airline that currently connects the Marshall Islands and Micronesia, and many choose to fly to Palau with United Airlines as well.

Please note this flight connects via Guam. Guam is a US territory so unless you are one of the lucky nationalities that qualify for the Guam Waiver ( CLICK HERE  for info) you will need  ESTA  or USA visa to transit.

Cruise Ships in the Pacific

The obvious option to see islands is to search for a cruise in the Pacific.

While cruising might not be for everyone, some can find a pretty good deal when signing up online. It can be practical if you are also planning to see a bit of Australia or New Zealand, as many cruise companies incorporate these two destinations with a few other islands, usually Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Fiji and Samoa.

Also, many cruises usually visit more territories than countries.

The cruise that seems to cover a few of the islands for a great price is the  Norwegian Jewel  from Sydney to Papeete. You can check the best deals on this cruise and many more by searching on CruiseCritic and these View%20last%20minute%20deals%20here. “>last-minute cruise deals with Princess Cruises.

Cargo Boats in the Pacific:

The last option is for the most adventurous with more flexibility. Cargo ships ply the oceans everywhere, and technically there is a chance you could score a ride. There are probably two common assumptions:

1. It’s easy to board a cargo ship in the Pacific.

2. It’s free or cheap.

Both are false.

To find more information on cargo ships, you can read this article written by Thor, the man who recently visited every country in the world without flying. He is the right person to talk about cargo ships.

More about Thor’s journey can be found on his website,  Once Upon Saga .

How to Plan your Trip to Visit Countries in the Pacific – Suggested Itinerary

Planning any multi-country trip to the Pacific starts with airline routes. Unfortunately, despite some major airlines flying into the Pacific, not all islands are connected with daily flights.

Some fly only once a week. Especially when it comes to the less-visited countries. There are a few suggested itineraries below. They’ve been put together based on airline connections and the overall cost of flights.

If you are based in the USA or planning to  visit Palau , Micronesia and the Marshall Islands 

While you can technically visit these three countries by three different airlines, the most common route for most travellers is with United Airlines on Flight 154/155.

The route is known as United Airlines’ Island Hopper. You are flying from Honolulu (HNL) to Majuro (MAJ) to Kwajalein (KWA) to Kosrae (KSA) to Pohnpei (PNI) to Chuuk (TKK) to Guam (GUM), or the reverse. From Guam, you can fly to  Palau  and Manila.

Check Skyscanner for the best flight deals on the Island Hopper

If you have any points with United Airlines or Star Alliance, then it is a good idea to use them on this flight as the cost of the ticket is high. The flight itself is considered a bucket list item for flight enthusiasts.

If you fly from Honolulu, it can take up to 20 hours to reach Guam. You can disembark at each airport except Kwajalein.

The only food service is breakfast out of Honolulu, so if you are hungry, make sure you bring some snacks.

One annoying part: Once you reach the Marshall Islands or depart from there, the flight lands every hour for Kwajalein, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chukk and then Guam. Your in-flight entertainment will start all over again, so you will never finish the movie.

Note: Should you not be able to fly on the flight with United, you can access these three countries by other routes: 

• Palau  – There are flights from Manila, Taipei and Seoul with United Airlines, China Airlines, Asiana Airlines
• Micronesia  – There are weekly flights from Port Moresby with Air Niugini
• The Marshall Islands  – There are two flights from Kiribati/Nauru with Nauru Airlines

If you are based in Australia and planning to visit South Pacific and Melanesia :

Australia is a great base to access some islands on multiple trips. Virgin Australia flies to multiple countries.

Regional Airlines such as Air Niugini, Solomon Airlines, Fiji Airways and Air Vanuatu all fly to Australia as well. You can choose to visit on a return flight or combine a few countries on multiple trips.

Flights depart mainly from Brisbane or Sydney.

Here is the list for 2023:  Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Nauru

If You Are Planning to Visit Every Country in the Pacific in Just One Trip

The ultimate challenge is to visit all the countries in the Pacific on a single trip. Here are a few options on how to do it.

From Australia:

Sydney  to  Nuku’alofa  to  Nadi  to  Apia  to  Nadi  to  Suva  to  Funafuti  to  Tarawa  to  Yaren  to  Majuro  

to  Pohnpei  to  Guam  to  Koror  to  Manila  to  Port Moresby  to  Honiara  to  Port Vila

Sydney/Brisbane  to  Port Vila  to  Honiara  to  Tarawa  to  Funafuti  to  Suva  to  Nadi  to  Apia  to  Nadi  

to  Nuku’alofa  to  Nauru  to  Majuro  to  Pohnpei  to  Guam  to  Palau  to  Manila  to  Port Moresby .

From Asia – Round trip from Manila 

Manila  to  Guam  to  Palau  to  Pohnpei  to  Majuro  to  Kiribati  to  Nauru  to  Nadi  to  Apia  to  Nadi  

to  Nuku’alofa  to  Nadi  to  Suva  to  Funafuti  to  Suva  to  Nadi  to  Port Vila  to  Honiara  to  Port Moresby  to  Manila

There are, of course, a few other combinations available. Here are a few hints that may help you when planning for each country.

Tuvalu  – It is connected with Fiji Airlines three times a week from Suva, not Nadi, and it’s the only reliable flight.

Air Kiribati used to connect Tuvalu with Kiribati every Wednesday – UPDATE in 2023: This route is no longer operating.

Kiribati  – Is connected with Fiji Air twice a week and with the Solomon Islands on Monday/Tuesday—a great link between Melanesia and Polynesia. Nauru Airlines also connects Kiribati to the Marshall Islands and Nauru.

Nauru  – The only country that almost everyone requires a visa for, and it can take some time to obtain. You can find more info  here . The only airline flying to Nauru is Nauru Airlines.

It also connects Nauru with Brisbane, but the ticket is expensive. In 2020, Nauru Airlines cancelled flights Nauru – Pohnpei and Nauru – Honiara.

Micronesia  – Apart from the United Airlines flight that connects it with the Marshall Islands or Guam, you might consider flying in or out of Port Moresby with Air Niugini. The flight was only about $280, but it has been suspended in February due to the coronavirus.

Samoa/Tonga  – Both countries have direct flights in and out of Australia or New Zealand, and it’s often cheaper to fly on return from there than to nearby Fiji.

Accommodation – Visit Every Country in the Pacific

Booking.com is an easy-to-use search engine. It offers the best selection of accommodation available all over the world. We find they offer the lowest prices and no fees. Our Tip: Search by price, and filter by best reviews.

Travelling across the Pacific doesn’t come cheap. Fiji and Tonga were the cheapest; the most expensive would be the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Nauru.

RELATED POST –  The Best Budget Accommodation Options in Tonga

On average, accommodation costs are around USD 100 per night. Except in Fiji, there are virtually no hostels.

We book hotels and accommodation on  Booking.com .

How Long Should You Spend in Each Country?

Each of us travels differently, and while you can spend a few weeks in Fiji or Vanuatu, you might run out of things to do in places like Nauru, Tuvalu or the Marshall Islands.

Personally for us, we would put the countries in a few groups:

Australia and New Zealand  – You can easily spend months in both countries. While New Zealand is smaller, it is fantastic for many outdoor activities.

Fiji, Vanuatu, Samoa, Tonga, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands  – A week in each place will give you enough time to see it, and you might venture to neighbouring islands too. Fiji has the best infrastructure, and you will eventually come back to this island sometime in between flights.

Tuvalu, Kiribati, Nauru & the Marshall Islands  – As some smaller and less developed nations, you might be happy to spend three days in each place.

Tuvalu  and  Nauru  are both tiny, and you will eventually run out of things to do.

The Marshall Islands has one of the least attractive main islands, Majuro. Try to get to Eneko Island (Read about our experience here), Arno Atol or Laura Beach.

Most travellers fly into Tarawa in Kiribati, and while we have heard the outer islands are beautiful, if you stay on the main island, a few days will be enough.

Micronesia & Palau  – We spent some extra time in Micronesia at Pohnpei and loved it there. It’s green, with impressive ruins of Nan Madol, and you can go snorkelling or fishing. The people were super lovely, and the food was excellent.

Palau is another gem with fantastic snorkelling and diving opportunities. While it’s not easy for budget travellers, it is beautiful.

Here are  10 awesome things to do in Palau  and don’t miss the chance to swim with a million stingless jellyfish. Read more about our incredible Jellyfish Lake experience in Palau’s Rock Islands.

The food in Palau is worth mentioning, too! We enjoyed it very much.

Money in the Pacific

There are a few currencies used across the Pacific. A complete list is below.

Please note you will need cash for Tuvalu as there is no ATM.

Generally, make sure you have some money in AUD and USD when travelling in this region for a few weeks.

Travel Insurance for the Pacific Islands

Make sure you get Travel Insurance before hitting the road. We recommend Heymondo & SafetyWing Travel Insurance.

We hope this post has been helpful to you in planning your journey to visit every country in the Pacific. We want to keep this post updated with the latest information for all, so please feel free to share your suggestions, updates to schedules or tips in the comments below if you have travelled this route in 2023 and beyond.

Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. When can we expect the 2022 update? And how much would the trip from Sydney (as shown on the picture) cost – a rough estimate, of course? Thank you.

There are still countries closed for tourists in the Pacific so once they reopen I might be able to update this blog. In general, the Pacific loop of visiting them all would be around USD4000-5000 before the pandemic. Sadly I don’t think it will be any cheaper due to limited services and the high cost of United airlines between Marshall Islands – Micronesia – Palau.

This post is GOLD. Thank you!

Are there any tour companies that do all of the islands in one trip

No, not that we’re aware of. It’s logistically too hard to operate a tour to visit all of these nations at once, some of them are the least visited countries in the world.

Hey Marty I just finished my NZ journey and now in Auckland again. NZ has very bad weather now and I think I’ll go to some islands instead. I have 1.5 months left, would you suggest me the route for this time, starting and finishing in Auckland? Please keep in mind that I don’t have american and french visas (and no time to applying). I can visit Vanuatu, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa (not American), Tuvalu, Tokelau, Cook Islands, Papua, Solomon Islands. How to spend 1.5 months in between them and how should my route looks like?

The best option would be to fly from Auckland to Samoa, Tonga or the Cook Islands as there are great flights from Auckland. Then you can fly to Fiji (from Tonga or Samoa) and access some other islands from Fiji such as Tuvalu or Vanuatu. You just need to check different dates and prices online and put it together step by step. Hope that helps.

PNG currency is Kina not NZD Dollar.

The flights to Tuvalu with Kiribati airlines no longer run, only Fiji airlines, as a result I will have to save Tuvalu for another trip and hopefully a direct flight/boat from Samoa.

Air nugini you can kill two birds with one stone with a 24hr layover in Port moresby when flying from Cairns to Honiara for around 350aud.

I couldn’t find any (reasonably priced) flights to Tarawa from Honiara so had to go via Fiji and Nauru airlines pulled the plug with Solomon which would have been perfect for me removing the need to go through Fiji.

Did you visit bouganville (PNG), if so have you done a write up?

Thanks for your input. We’ve updated this post to advise that Kiribati Airlines no longer run that flight to Tuvalu. And yes, PNG uses the Kina as currency, we’ve also updated this in our post 😉 Regarding your question regarding Bougainville, we itinially had flights booked to visit, but then the pandemic spread across the world and we had to cancel. When PNG opened up to visitors a few years later, flights were incredibly expensive, so we didn’t get there. So no, we dont have a write up for you.

I read your post twice. I am a great fan. The maps are helpful. I wanted a little more guidance for a round trip – multi city trip out of sydney covering few countries not all. Can I get some help please? An email or a chat if possible please 🙏

Hi Prabir, We’re happy to know that you found our blog really helpful. Everything we know about doing this journey, we have noted in this blog. If you have a specific question, please ask us here as it may be useful to other readers. 🙂

Best pacific islands to visit.

You may have to trek a bit to reach the thousands of islands that comprise the South Pacific, but the journey is well worth the effort. In this vast area, you'll discover unspoiled beaches, impressive historical sites and a laid-back atmosphere ideal for a relaxing getaway. But with so many islands within Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia to choose from, deciding which remote paradise to prioritize may be a challenge – that's where we come in. To determine the best Pacific Islands, U.S. News considered user votes and expert opinions, plus factors like diversity of attractions, accessibility and affordability. Use these recommendations to plan your next vacation, and cast your vote below to have a say in next year's list.

Cook Islands

Solomon islands.

For a dreamy vacation set amid turquoise waters, lush jungle and extensive coral reefs, book your ticket to Palau. This tiny country in the western Pacific Ocean is known for its premier scuba diving sites and incredible scenery. Get a taste of local culture in Koror, Palau's capital, where you'll find an assortment of craft shops, restaurants, bars and small museums. Other must-do activities include swimming with thousands of non-stinging jellyfish, kayaking Nikko Bay and taking a boat or flight tour of the breathtaking Rock Islands Southern Lagoon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Head to one of Fiji's 330-plus islands if you appreciate cultural activities and attractions as much as you enjoy spending time outdoors. In Suva, Fiji's capital city, you can participate in a traditional kava ceremony (which involves drinking yaqona, a root-based drink with mild sedative properties), watch a firewalking festival at Mariamma Temple and explore the Fiji Museum. Meanwhile, Fiji's smaller destinations – including the Yasawa Islands and Taveuni – feature incredible coral gardens, stunning rainforests and some of the world's best beaches . When you tire of sunbathing, snorkeling and hiking, retreat to a rustic bungalow, a trendy boutique hotel or a luxe five-star resort.

One of the smallest countries in the world, Tuvalu is comprised of nine low-lying islands featuring unspoiled white sand beaches, abundant marine life and a laid-back atmosphere. Most of your days here will be spent snorkeling, scuba diving or simply lounging on the beach. However, remember to save time for visiting the Tuvalu Post, which is home to a wide collection of rare decades-old stamps, and checking out the destination's World War II wreckage sites. Despite its beauty, Tuvalu is off many travelers' radars, meaning you won't have to fight hordes of tourists for a spot on the sand.

Newlyweds who want to see a lesser-known side of French Polynesia should consider honeymooning on Moorea. This awe-inspiring island features the same kind of striking natural wonders and romantic accommodations couples will find on Bora Bora, but with a more relaxed atmosphere and lower price tags. What's more, Moorea only sits 10 miles away from Tahiti, making it easy to reach from French Polynesia's main international airport or by ferry. Once travelers arrive on the island, they'll discover eight towering mountains and two beautiful bays, plus several noteworthy attractions, including the Moorea Dolphin Center and Temae Beach.

This string of more than 80 volcanic islands in the southwestern Pacific Ocean is a picture-perfect getaway that is well off the beaten path. Port Vila, the country's capital located on the island of Efate, is where you'll find many of Vanuatu's tourism facilities, including a selection of restaurants, shops and accommodations. Top activities in Vanuatu include hiking to the summit of Mount Yasur (an active volcano), swimming in the Blue Lagoon and snorkeling Mystery Island's crystal-clear waters.

Despite its small size, this group of 15 islands midway between New Zealand and Hawaii offers something for everyone. Popular activities range from snorkeling excursions and hikes to waterfalls to village tours. The striking white sand beaches on Rarotonga and Aitutaki also can't be missed. After exploring, savor local staples like ika mata (marinated raw fish) and poke (a pudding-like dish made with tropical fruit) at a market. Meanwhile, make sure to attend an island night celebration, which combines traditional dancing with an umukai (a feast prepared in an underground oven). Because the Cook Islands are associated with New Zealand, visitors can easily fly here from Auckland.

This French Polynesian island is the perfect place to go if you're looking to reconnect with nature, dial up the romance and pamper yourself while on vacation. In Bora Bora, you'll find overwater bungalows and luxurious spas made for honeymooners , plus a beautiful turquoise lagoon and lush Mount Otemanu to explore. For an overview of the island and an adrenaline rush, sign up for a four-wheel-drive excursion or a boat tour that includes a shark and stingray feeding. Then, head to Matira Beach or your resort's private stretch of sand to relax as you watch the sun set.

Tahiti's international airport and variety of big-city amenities (think: diverse restaurants, exciting cultural events and abundant five-star resorts) make it a natural choice for a South Pacific vacation. But don't let the French Polynesian island's hustle and bustle fool you: Tahiti also boasts plenty of rushing waterfalls, towering mountains and pristine beaches to set the scene for your relaxing island getaway. Start your visit by checking out the markets, boutiques and nightlife venues in Papeete (Tahiti's capital city) before escaping to one of the island's jaw-dropping natural wonders. Can't-miss spots include Fautaua Waterfall, the Water Gardens of Vaipahi and Papenoo Beach.

Home to about 170 islands, Tonga is known as the last Polynesian monarchy. Tonga vacationers can spend time relaxing on crowd-free beaches, touring the Mapu'a 'a Vaca blowholes and enjoying a traditional Tongan feast. For a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, don't miss an opportunity to swim with Tonga's graceful humpback whales, an activity that is possible between July and October. Other adventurous travelers will want to go for a dip in the 'Anahulu Cave, an underground freshwater pool surrounded by ancient stalactites and stalagmites.

Water lovers, eco-tourists and culture hounds will all love visiting tranquil Samoa. Here, you'll find breathtaking natural wonders like the To Sua ocean trench (a giant swimming hole), the Alofaaga Blowholes and the Sopoaga and Papapapaitai waterfalls. Additionally, Samoa offers an array of cultural attractions, including the Samoa Cultural Village (with traditional tattooing and tapa cloth-making demonstrations) and the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum. Once you've gotten your fill of sightseeing, head to a local market for fresh produce or seafood before retiring to a fale (a rustic beachfront accommodation) for the night.

Thanks to its abundance of untouched natural wonders and lack of traditional accommodations, the Solomon Islands are an ideal destination for eco-tourists. Visitors can explore dense jungles, surf uncrowded waves and even climb a dormant volcano. The country was also a battle site during World War II, so history buffs can find historic relics like abandoned tanks and amphibious vehicles scattered throughout the islands. But perhaps the most unique sights are those found in the islands' surrounding waters. Divers from around the world flock here to see the Solomon Islands' sunken WWII seaplanes, submarines and oil tankers.

Pacific Northwest Tours & Vacations

If you think the Pacific Northwest is all hiking, coffee and craft beer...

you'd be absolutely correct. But it's some of the best hiking, coffee and craft beer in North America . Encompassing Washington, Oregon and parts of Canada's British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest is known for its impressive glacier-laced mountain ranges, rugged coastlines, perpetually green forests and quirky cities. While the region does have a bit of a rainy reputation, you'll never be far from a hot cup of coffee; Seattle is the birthplace of Starbucks, after all. PNW locals cherish their outdoor activities, so lace up your hiking boots and grab your reusable mug... it's time to explore the best of the "Upper Left."

Pacific Northwest travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

What to pack for a trip to the Pacific Northwest

What to pack for the Pacific Northwest depends on what time of year you're travelling and what you're planning on doing. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for all destinations, and layers are always a good idea (even in the summertime) as the weather can change quickly in all seasons.

Hiking trips require proper trekking gear: a mixture of lightweight, quick-drying clothing, properly fitting hiking boots and sun protection. To avoid buying plastic, a water bottle or bladder/hose system to refill along the way is a must.

Before travelling, it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with the ‘Packing’ section of the Essential Trip Information for the tour you’re interested in, especially if you're joining a   walking, hiking or trekking trip .

Are Intrepid trips accessible for travelers with disabilities?

We are committed to making travel widely  accessible , regardless of ability or disability. We do our best to help you see the world, regardless of physical or mental limitations. 

We are always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them toward the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Pacific Travel Partners Reveals New 'Vantage' Name, Reassures Past Customers

Photo: Shutterstock.com

Pacific Travel Partners, which earlier this month purchased assets from Vantage Travel, has revealed the new company built on those assets will be Vantage Explorations.

"Vantage Explorations will be the name of the new brand, and the intention is to formally announce this, as well as our plans, in the coming months," a spokesperson for the company said. "Whilst there is an ongoing process following the finalization of the brand acquisition, a new 'Vantage style' offering will be introduced across oceangoing, river, and land product that will deliver exceptional travel experiences for our passengers."

Customers of the now bankrupt Vantage Travel had expressed concern that the expedition products offered by Aurora Expeditions (the parent company of Pacific Travel Partners) were too active and exceeded their physical capabilities, making their credits earned from canceled Vantage Travel trips unuseable.

"A team of customer service has been established to begin communication with customer creditors, and we hope that they will consider our offering in the spirit that it is intended."
