Noumea is the capital and largest city of the French special collectivity of New Caledonia. It is situated on a peninsula in the south of New Caledonia's main island, Grande Terre, and is home to the majority of the island's European, Polynesian, Indonesian, and Vietnamese populations, as well as many Melanesians, Ni-Vanuatu, and Kanaks who work in one of the South Pacific's most industrialized cities. The city lies on a protected deep-water harbour which serves as the chief port for New Caledonia.

Day 5 Port of Call Mystery Island Arrival 8:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

Aneityum, also known as the Mystery Island, is the southernmost inhabited island in the Vanuatu archipelago. As with all the major islands throughout Vanuatu, its origins are volcanic and the landscape is mountainous. Rich volcanic soils and a slightly more temperate climate encouraged the growth of magnificent stands of sandalwood trees.

Day 6 Cruising
Day 7 Port of Call Suva/Fiji Arrival 8:00am Departure 6:00pm

Overview

Almost any time of the year is an excellent time to visit Suva. There are so many things happening. Suva, the capital city of Fiji, the thumb of the Pacific, is the place of many happenings. For tourists, the day begins at about 6 pm. Before this, it's best to laze around a swimming pool with a cocktail or go walking or shopping around the city. Suva comes alive at night. This is when live local bands or current overseas hit songs fill the air. Suva has about 25 bars/nightclubs and all are walking distance from each other to make for an ideal pub-crawling night. Suva is a city of colors. While neon lights from the nightclubs brighten the nights, the people of Suva brighten up the day. Suva is a city with rich and diverse cultures. It has a multiracial population mix comprised mainly of Fijians, Indians, Europeans, Chinese, and South Pacific Islanders. People are friendly and always willing to help with directions. So if you are lost, don't hesitate to ask. The locals will help with a smile. There are lots of things to do, see and buy. There are many churches, temples, mosques, bush walks, and gardens. Suva has a botanical garden at the eastern end of town. This is also where the Fiji Museum is located. Next to these is the home of the President of the Republic of Fiji.

Day 8 Port of Call Dravuni Island Arrival 7:00am Departure 5:00pm

Overview

Dravuni is located in the northern part of the reef at S 18 48' and E 178 36'. Approximately 125 persons live in a single village on this 200-acre island. Because the reefs provide a major part of their sustenance, the chiefs have guarded them well and wish to see them studied and preserved. Only four of the islands within this reef are inhabited. Both the Great Astrolabe and the North Astrolabe Reefs offer a broad variety of habitats. Lagoon depths range from very shallow to 40 meters and include rock, sand/sediment, and seagrass areas, as well as coral seamounts. Dense coral growth edges the windward sides of the smaller islands within the reef. Rich underwater seagrass beds flourish off the leeward coast of Dravuni and some of the other islands. Transportation to the island is provided by an inter-island ferry, the Bulouniceva, which departs Suva on Wednesday and Sunday, makes a round trip to the Kadavu group with Dravuni as the last stop, and returns on Friday and Tuesday respectively. Workboats may be made available through the MSP, although advanced bookings are necessary. A boat may also be hired from the village, with a boatman. Charges for using the field station facility depend upon the support needed.

Day 10 Cruising
Day 11 Port of Call Tauranga Arrival 10:15am Departure 9:30pm

Overview

Tauranga is located at the western end of the Bay of Plenty, on the North Island’s central eastern coast. It is built around Tauranga Harbour, a busy port, and the surrounding region is a fertile fruit-growing district. It is sheltered to the west by the Kaimai Ranges and to the east by Matakana Island.
Historically, Tauranga was a base for missionaries and the flax trade. The city is also home to Gate Pa, the site of a historic battle between local Maori and European settlers. Artillery and earthworks can still be seen at the site. Today, Tauranga’s warm climate and coastal location make the city a popular location to live, and it is the country’s fastest-growing center. Its major attractions are boating, surfing, and fishing, and a host of other activities such as water skiing, diving,g, and windsurfing. The city also has some interesting historical buildings and attractions, such as the Tauranga Historic Village/Museum.
Nearby Mt Maunganui is built on a long sandy peninsula and can be reached by the harbor bridge or via the coast road. It is a popular resort with a long sandy beach and fine surfing. At the tip of the peninsula is Mt Maunganui itself. This bush-clad hill has several walking tracks and excellent views of the area.

Overview

Auckland is New Zealand's largest city, with a population of just under 382,000 within the city boundary and 1.18 million in the greater Auckland area. This represents about one-third of the population of the whole country. The city and suburbs cover an area of 60 square kilometers, with many of the suburbs having their unique character. The city is built on a narrow isthmus between two harbors, the Waitemata to the East and the Manukau to the West.
