Unit+5-+Visit+Oceania

Oceania is a geographical region that is comprised of Australia, New Zealand and other smaller countries that are within the confines of the Pacific. Bound together by the humongous ocean, you can imagine just how diverse and special your travel will be should you decide to pay this region a visit. Australasia is the most populous sub-region of Oceania, which is comprised of two countries: Australia and New Zealand. Highly cosmopolitan, you can decide to make these countries a point of entry, as the smaller, more separate islands can be easily accessible by boat or plane from here. You definitely should not miss Sydney, where the famous Opera house is located. Experience first-hand the pride of Oceania, the wonderful Great Barrier Reef where you can appreciate the vast life and colors underwater. Pay a visit to Club Crocodile Long Island and live life casually, unhurried, a lot closer to greens and blues of nature. From your entry point, you can venture to the sub-regions by starting on Melanesia, which is comprised of Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands and New Caledonia. More resorts, beaches and lush coral reefs await you so if you are a lover of water sports and activities, be ready to get the tan of your life. Extra caution however, should be taken when travelling to Papua New Guinea as it is known to be a malaria-infested area. Try going a bit east of Australia and you enter the Polynesia sub-region, which takes pride on small population and consequently pollution-free scenic spots. Aside from Hawaii, you should not miss visiting the ultimate heaven named Bora Bora located in French Polynesia, which tourists claim the most beautiful island in the world. Breathe deeply, be one with nature and gather peace of mind. Last but not least, you may now travel north, passing the equator. Enter the Micronesia sub-region, which includes Guam as its better-known islands. Experience the very first sunrise everywhere in the world, in Kiribati, and bask in the simple lifestyle of its friendly people. With such a vast selection of travel spots and water-related activities, Oceania is a water paradise you won’t want to miss.
