Day 1
Auckland
Few cities bring water so close to daily life as Auckland. Set between the Waitematā and Manukau harbours, New Zealand’s largest city is shaped by the sea. From the waterfront, ferries reach Waiheke Island, with vineyards, beaches and coastal walks. Climb volcanic Maungawhau, or Mount Eden, for sweeping views across the city and its harbours. Back downtown, Viaduct Harbour offers galleries, restaurants and a vivid sense of Auckland’s maritime life.
-
Day 2
Tauranga
Tauranga opens onto the Bay of Plenty, where a working harbour meets long beaches and a distinctly easy pace. At Mount Maunganui, climb Mauao’s well-marked paths for sweeping views across the coast and harbour. In Tauranga, discover Māori and maritime stories, or browse cafés along the waterfront. Rotorua’s geysers, hot pools and Māori cultural experiences make a rewarding inland excursion, about an hour away by road.
-
Day 5
Suva, Fiji
Suva is Fiji’s lively capital, set on Viti Levu’s southeast coast beside a deep-water harbour. The Fiji Museum traces the islands’ history, while nearby Thurston Gardens offer a leafy walk. At the municipal market, tropical produce, yaqona and crafts reveal everyday Fijian life. Suva’s Indian, Fijian and Chinese influences also shape its cafés and cuisine. A short drive inland, Colo-i-Suva Forest Park offers rainforest trails and swimming holes.
-
Day 6
Dravuni Island Fiji, Fiji
Dravuni Island lies in Fiji’s southern Kadavu group, beside the Great Astrolabe Reef. Its village, palm-fringed shore and green volcanic rise make a striking first impression. A path climbs to the island’s highest point, where reef and lagoon spread below. Swim or snorkel from the beach, then discover village life on this small, welcoming island.
-
Day 10
Papeete
Papeete is French Polynesia’s lively capital, set on Tahiti’s northwest coast beneath green volcanic peaks. Its waterfront, central market and shaded streets offer a vivid introduction to island life. Browse the Marché de Papeete for vanilla, pareos and tropical fruit, then pause over poisson cru, Tahiti’s lime-and-coconut-marinated fish. Beyond town, black-sand beaches and waterfalls await, while ferry links make Moorea an easy day trip. Papeete rewards a few hours on foot—and a longer look at Tahiti.
-
Day 11
Moorea Island
Moorea’s jagged volcanic peaks rise above a lagoon so clear that the reef appears close enough to touch. A short ferry ride from Tahiti, this Society Islands destination offers a quieter, greener counterpoint to Papeete. Follow the coast past pineapple fields and small villages. Then climb to Belvedere Lookout for broad views of Cook’s and Opunohu bays. Swim, snorkel or take a lagoon cruise; Moorea rewards unhurried exploration as much as adventure.
-
Day 17
Honolulu, USA
Honolulu brings the Pacific to your doorstep, with Oahu’s volcanic ridges rising behind a busy harbor. From the cruise pier, historic downtown and Iolani Palace are close; Waikiki’s beaches and Diamond Head lie farther east. Set aside time for Pearl Harbor, where the USS Arizona Memorial gives the islands’ modern history unmistakable weight. Then explore Chinatown’s markets and restaurants, or take a scenic drive along Oahu’s southeastern coast.
-
Day 18
Kahului, USA
Kahului is Maui’s working heart, where cruise ships meet a harbor shaped by commerce rather than resort scenery. Step ashore and the island opens quickly: ʻĪao Valley’s green ridges lie west, while Haleakalā rises inland. Choose a car for the Road to Hāna, or explore nearby Wailuku and the Maui Nui Botanical Gardens. Come prepared to travel: Maui’s landmarks are spread across the island, and distances take longer than maps suggest.
-
Day 19
Hilo, USA
Hilo is the Big Island’s quieter, rain-washed gateway to waterfalls, gardens and volcanic country. Start at the lively Hilo Farmers Market, then follow Banyan Drive beneath trees planted by visiting dignitaries. Nearby, Liliʻuokalani Gardens brings Japanese bridges and koi ponds to Hilo Bay. About 45 minutes southwest, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park offers crater overlooks and lava landscapes.
-
Day 25
Los Angeles, USA
San Pedro is Los Angeles’s maritime gateway, home to one of the world’s busiest container ports. See the Battleship Iowa, explore San Pedro’s waterfront, or visit the Korean Bell of Friendship for coastal views. Downtown’s museums and architecture sit roughly 20 miles north, while Hollywood and the beaches call for longer excursions. Choose a district and give it time; this vast city is best explored with a clear plan.
