  • The Best of the South Pacific
    e_556266 Ch01.qxd 5/24/04 2:48 PM Page 5 1 The Best of the South Pacific The magical names of Tahiti, Rarotonga, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga have conjured up romantic images of an earthly paradise since European explorers brought home tales of their tropical splendor and uninhibited people more than two cen- turies ago. And with good reason, for these are some of the most beautiful islands in the world—if not the most beautiful. Here you can relax at remote resorts perched on some of most gorgeous beaches the planet has to offer. Off- shore are some of the globe’s most fabulous diving and spectacular snorkeling. Picking the best of the South Pacific is no easy task. I cannot, for example, choose the most friendly island, for the people of Tahiti and French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, American Samoa, and the Kingdom of Tonga are among the friendliest folks on earth. Their fabled history has provided fodder for famous books and films, their storied culture inspires hedonistic dreams, and their big smiles and genuine warmth are prime attractions everywhere in the South Pacific. Personally, I like all the islands and all the islanders, which further complicates my chore to no end. In this chapter, I point out the best of the best—not necessarily to pass qual- itative judgment, but to help you choose among many options. I list them here in the order in which they appear in the book. Your choice of destination will depend on why you are going to the islands.
