Suspended on the blue expanse of the South Pacific Ocean are worlds as different from each other as they are from anywhere else. Follow the course of the earliest native explorers who spread their cultures by canoe, guided only by the currents, the waves and stars. An astonishing variety of sights await you: towering peaks, steaming geysers and sprawling vineyards, mighty fjords and quaint villages, vivid coral reefs and — yes — koalas, kiwis and kangaroos.
