Our epic Pacific journey cruised from the intimate lagoons of French Polynesia (Bora Bora, Moorea) across four days of open sea to the volcanic shores of Hawaii (Hilo, Kona, Maui). This post covers our entire Tahiti to Honolulu cruise, highlighting the dramatic contrast between two Pacific paradises.
The first leg of our month-long South Pacific cruise took us from Fiji to Tahiti! We detail the dramatic boarding scare, snorkeled the spectacular reef at Dravuni, enjoyed the cultural centre in Samoa, explored the beautiful Cook Islands, and finally reached the paradise of Bora Bora and Moorea.
A two-month journey from the spirituality of Antigua's Semana Santa, the colossal Mayan ruins of Tikal, Spanish lessons on Lake Atitlán, and the Lagoon of Seven Colours in Bacalar. We wrapped up in Riviera Maya and survived a flight cancellation in Cancún before leaping across the Pacific to Fiji.
We cracked the code for a budget Maldives trip: skipping the resorts for local islands Gulhi and Maafushi. We found the best house reefs, enjoyed nightly shark viewings, and survived a territorial fish attack! This is our full story on local guesthouses, cultural quirks, and the 25-hour flight home.
Our 17-day Sri Lanka itinerary was a masterclass in embracing the unexpected. Experience jammed 3rd-class trains, scaling ancient Lion Rock, scenic tea country, and coastal Mirissa. Get the full story, costs, and essential tips on transport, visas, and navigating tourist prices.
We scored a 12-day cruise - Cape Town to Mauritius - for just $550! Trading a tent for the Norwegian Dawn, we explored Mossel Bay, survived port chaos in Madagascar to see lemurs (and an ancient tortoise), and snorkeled Réunion's volcanic waters. It was the perfect break before hitting Sri Lanka.
