Snorkeling and scuba diving offers amazing visibility and an unbelievable diversity of marine life, with very little pollution or crowds to spoil the underwater spectacles.
Languages
English is widely spoken in most of the major tourist areas. There is also a large French-speaking population in places like New Caledonia and Tahiti.
Climate
The Pacific region covers a vast area and so there are a variety of climates, monsoons, winds and therefore sailing seasons in different destinations.
However, the climate in the South Pacific is universally tropical, with year round warm weather and varying levels of humidity. The equatorial proximity means that daylight hours are close to 12 hours all year round. There are few fluctuations in the typical daytime temperatures of 24-31°C throughout the year, and only a drop of a few degrees at night.
For more detail on the climate and sailing seasons, please refer to the individual destination pages.
