Destinations Guide - Fiji, The Cook Islands & French Polynesia

Cook Islands:

Kia Orana - and welcome to the Cook Islands. With their remote location, breathtaking beauty, welcoming and carefree people and rich culture and traditions, these unspoiled islands are about as close to paradise as is imaginable. Rarotonga and Aitutaki are the most visited islands, with idyllic accommodation and glorious beaches. The Cook Islands comprises of 15 islands scattered over 2.3 million sq km of ocean. The group lies in the centre of the Polynesian triangle, flanked to the west by Tonga and the Samoas and to the east by Tahiti. The largest of the islands and the nations capital is Rarotonga, which is home to more than 9,000 of the Cook Islands’ total population. Visitors can discover the little capital of Avarua with its many charming buildings or visit one of the surrounding idyllic islands reached by either small boat or plane. One of the most enchanting is Aitutaki a stunning coral atoll boasting glorious beaches. Or visitors can simply swim or snorkel in the surrounding lagoons and reef. There are a wide choice of sports activities available ranging from golf, tennis and horseriding to watersports such as sailing, diving and game fishing.

Fiji:

Bula and welcome to Fiji - an exotic melting pot of cultures and traditions, home to pristine beaches and lush, tropical hinterland. Viti Levu, the largest island, boasts the Coral Coast – a 30 mile stretch of golden sands and fringing reef, while the smaller Fiji Islands each have their own incredible beauty, offering the inquisitive visitor a genuine and truly memorable experience. The islands of Fiji enjoy a typical tropical climate throughout the year with high temperatures and humidity the norm. Fiji has, on average, around six to eight hours of sunshine a day with fairly consistent temperatures throughout the year. You would be very unlucky to experience more than a few hours of rain in a day even during the wet season, which runs from late December to mid March. Fiji is mountainous and lushly forested. The main islands are each encircled by spectacular coral reefs and lagoons. Fiji offers visitors the freedom of uncrowded places, it is an eco-tourism destination and a nature lover’s delight where you can see waterfalls, beautiful landscape and exceptional flora and fauna. Fiji has countless miles of coral reefs and breathtaking underwater experiences and offers an unparalleled range of quality dive sites. Numerous watersports are available such as sailing, surfing, windsurfing and diving.

French Polynesia:

The epitome of the South Pacific, exotic French Polynesia has captured the imagination of travellers since the 18th Century. Explore its magical islands and relax on secluded beaches, take a dip in a cerulean lagoon and trek through lush rainforest on one of it's islands. With its classically volcanic mountains richly festooned with verdant rainforest, and a beautiful fringe of aquamarine lagoon waters, Thaiti is an island still every bit as enchanting to travellers today. Moorea is just a short hop from Tahiti; Bora Bora, with its romantic mountain panorama and exquisite lagoon is perhaps the most beautiful of the South Pacific islands. Taha’a, the ‘Vanilla Island’, is wonderfully secluded and Tikehau is an isolated coral atoll barely rising above the Pacific swells.

  5. "We had a great weekend thankyou. The hotel was in a great position - very easy to drive to, and only a short cab / bus ride into town. Also we used the boat to come back on sunday, which was fab. The rooms were big, clean and comfy - all you want them to be really! We did have a small issue with room keys at the start, but it was quickly rectified and all was good. Staff were very nice, friendly and helpful - lunch a little slow, but great when it arrived. All in all we had a lovely time - thankyou for your help with organising it." October 2011 from Nicki and girl friends who had a spa weekend in Bath.

  6. "Once again everything went according to plan and we had an excellent holiday. The lounge pass starts the holiday on the right footing, the flights were on time, the holiday rep. at the airport was welcoming and the hotel was great. The service was absolutely first class and there was an amazing selection of food at breakfast and dinner all presented in a very attractive way (similar to a cruise ship). The weather was extremely hot so we didn't attempt any excursions. We spent the time relaxing by the pool keeping in the shade as much as possible. No complaints at all you will be pleased hear. Thank you once again for your attention to detail. " October 2011 from Dorothy and Graham, Coventry who visited a luxury hotel in Tenerife.

  7. "Just to say...THANK YOU! For all your help and planning. We had a fabulous honeymoon and loved each part. I really liked the Argonaut in terms of location and the free glass of wine from 5-6pm every day. They were so friendly and helpful at the hotel and it made a great first stop. The Kauai Beach Resort had a great hot tub outside, good food and the concierge helped organise a number of trips for us. The room was a good size and we were given a free bottle of very nice champagne. Finally, the Plantation Inn in Maui, was wonderful. A great little location and it made our stay in Maui so enjoyable. Again a hot tub and breakfast was included - great chef. Such easy access to La Haina and the shops and away from the noise and scale of the big hotel complexes further up the coast. The four, four, four also worked well...had we had the time we would have loved to do four days in New York..would recommend that to anyone thinking of doing the same trip. So thank you again for your help, we really appreciated it and would use you and Top Drawer again!" January 2012 from Sarah & Ian, Chiswick who visited San Francisco before heading to the Hawaiian island of Kaui and then onto the Hawaiian island of Maui.

  9. "The holiday was lovely thank you. There was evidence of a lot of damage on our way up to our hotel from the airport, and the 4x4's were definitely needed! Once we were in Rodney Bay, there wasn't really much evidence of the hurricane. We found the Top Drawer service to be very helpful and we were kept up to date with information, following the devastation of the hurricane. We would definitely recommend Top Drawer to friends. Thank you for all your help." December 2010 from Karen & Simon, Tunbridge Wells who visited St Lucia very shortly after the hurricane in 2010.

  10. "It has to be said that we had a brilliant holiday not least down to Top Drawer!!! The arrangement between Top and Bottom Drawer is really convenient and just what i wanted. The route that you planned and the hotels that we stayed at were just right although it must be said that we preferred the national parks to the cities!! Thank you for a great level of service and I would definitely recommend your company in future." October 2010 from Emily & Philip, London who did a fly drive around California in a 2 door open top sports car visiting San Francisco, Yosemite, Death Valley and Las Vegas.
