The New Easter Island

Edit Article |

]]>

Everyone dreams of visiting heavenly places that are well-known in the rest of the world as destinations touched by a divine hand. Well, the natural beauty capable of taking their breath away is not located on the other side of the world, but in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and it is called Easter Island.

Known as the “navel of the world”, Easter Island combines beautiful beaches with inactive volcanoes, as well as the mystical presence of millenary stone statues scattered around the island: the moai. There are more than 800 stone statues buried in the island or located along the coast facing the sea. Some of them have hats and defined torsos, and one of them (only one) has painted eyes.

The island’s charm is all about these statues made of stone, which appear throughout the territory. Researchers are unable to determine who ordered their construction, with what purpose or how they managed to reach the coast of Rapa Nui. The mystery and the beauty of the landscape around the moai makes Easter Island a must for any traveler who calls themselves one.
Places to Visit

Easter Island is formed by volcanoes that emerge from the seabed and shape Rapa Nui as a triangle. The island is conformed by 166 km of green mountains, beaches, sacred sites and places to walk around, all below the blue sky of the South Pacific.
It is easy to get to the island, since all the airlines have flights that go there, although some stop over in Santiago de Chile and then continue their trip until they reach Rapa Nui. Nonetheless, the island’s main activity is tourism, so access is available throughout the year.

Once in the island, the options multiply. The hotel and gastronomic infrastructure is varied and of excellent quality. There are international restaurants and, of course, all of them offer delicious typical dishes made with the best fish of the Pacific and vegetables grown in the island. There are also hotels and guesthouses, camping areas and other places to sleep that offer comfortable and safe facilities surrounded by native vegetation.

Once established in the island, it is time to explore it. Easter Island is not very big, so it is easy to get by on foot or by car. There are places where you can rent cars, jeeps and horses, and there are also tour guides to visit sacred places and all the interesting corners of the island.

The main attraction is the moai. These stone structures can be seen in all Rapa Nui territory, but the most important place is the Ahu, where seven moai can be seen on the coast, facing the sea. It is a sacred place, so it is recommended to enter carefully and with respect and not to talk. The moai are millenary structures, and as such, they are fragile and demand extreme care.
Another important place is Anakena, the most famous beach in Easter Island. It is a place of unmatched beauty, with turquoise, warm, still waters, white sand and an ideal temperature for sunbathing and resting. It is located on the northern side of the island, near Hanga Roa (the capital), and it is possible to surf.

The island also has hidden treasures. One of them is a beach beyond the area of Ahu Vaihu that doesn’t even have a name and it is much bigger than Anakena. This beach has enormous cliffs and it is recommended to get there on foot.

Under the surface, Rapa Nui offers a unique landscape. Away from the beaches and the South Pacific wind, the tourist can visit the caves near Ana Kakenga. To enter the land and discover its mysteries through a tunel of naturally interconnected caves is simply a movie-like activity, and it can be done in Easter Island, the navel of the world.
New Wonder

Easter Island was one of the 20 world destinations in the race to become one of the new wonders of the world. Considering that the pyramids of Egypt are the only attraction of the ancient wonders that still stands, the organization New Open World Foundation held a contest at the end 2008 for the public to choose seven new destinations. In the end, Easter Island was not chosen among the new wonders, but to be considered among the 20 is a real honor.

Nanuya Resort Yasawa Island Fiji Is An Elegant Small Beach Hotel

Edit Article |

Posted: Mar 28, 2007 |Comments: 0

]]>

Nanuya Resort Yasawa Island Fiji is situated on the Blue Lagoon, and we stayed there just after a week at the Octopus resort.

We thought Nanuva was one of the most elegant small beach hotels we have stayed in as far as the South Pacific is concerned.
What really impressed us during our stay was the small touches, such as the plug in insect repellents in the room, especially as we had left ours at home!!
Another thing we love are nice toiletries in our room, and we were not disappointed at Nanuya, as the bures were modern, well equipped with ensuite facilities, towels, in fact all you would expect from a good resort. This of course included towels for the beach, and free water, which you can get from the bar.

The resort had everything needed for a great vacation, starting with the open air restaurant, serving superb food, and big platefuls. Fiji is not noted for its cuisine, but the food at Nanuya is delicious, with a simple continental breakfast to start the day. The breakfast is included, and then the menu for lunch is always the same, but the food is so good, you’ll have no difficulty finding something you like every day. The dinner menu changes daily, and there is a good selection of starters and main courses for you to look forward to.

If you want to see photographs of the Nanuya Resort then go to http://www.worldwidevacationspots.com/articles/127/1/Nanuya-Resort-Yasawa-Island-Fiji–is-an-Elegant-Small-Beach-Hotel/Page1.html

The biggest drawback was the invasion of backpacking daytrippers, who arrived on the beach, took the sunbeds, used the internet, and generally turned one of the best elegant small beach hotels that is Nanuya into a rugby scrum. Fortunately this only happened once, and we were mercifully free from too many daytrippers.

The beach as you would expect is quite out of this world, everything a South pacific beach should be, with wonderful blue/turquoise/green shades, and it was possible to swim out a little way for some quite good snorkelling.

Nanuya Resort is very well staffed, by cheerful smiling helpful people, who were never too obtrusive.

We’d definitely visit again, but next time we’d use Turtle airways and fly, turning a four and a half hour transfer into 30 minutes, so well worth the money!!
Nanuya Resort gave us one of the best tropical beach vacations possible

Take A Romantic Getaway Package To The Capella Lodge On Lord Howe Island

Edit Article |

Posted: Dec 02, 2007 |Comments: 0
|



]]>

A Romantic Getaway Package to Capella Lodge an exclusive boutique hotel situated on the southern end of Lord Howe Island in the South Pacific, is one that few people even know about. The fact is that Lord Howe Island is in the South Pacific, yet it is only two hours flying time from Australia, and it still remains almost unknown to the world at large.

Lord Howe Island has the distinction of having the most southerly coral reef in the world, and it is the island that boasts one of the best exclusive small boutique hotels in Australia called the Capella Lodge.

Capella Lodge is perched above Lover’s Bay and is unique on Lord Howe Island in that is looks out over the ocean, the lagoon, and the mountains.

With a maximum of twenty guests, the elegant Capella Lodge is totally understated luxury, and so attracts really discerning guests who want and expect the best. Capella Lodge gives guests the kind of sophisticated weekend getaway that they feel comfortable with.

What you will get is a variety of high quality accommodation in nine suites, based on three Capella Suites, four Lagoon Lofts, the Capella Family Suite, and The Lidgbird Suite which is the Premium Suite with a wrap around veranda and a private plunge spa. If you want to bring children, then they will need to be over six years of age.

The quality of the furnishings in the Suites are of impeccable taste, with every detail thought of.

There are a huge number of things to do which is one reason this beautiful island and this exclusive boutique hotel are the ideal destination for a romantic honeymoon. This includes Lagoon Canoeing, Mountain Biking, Snorkeling, Cycling, Golf, Tennis, Boat Cruises and glass bottomed boats, Scenic flights to name but a few. You need to enjoy the stunning beaches and the crystal clear water.

Eating and drinking at the Capella Lodge is yet another reason to stay. The Capella Restaurant has stunning views of the lagoon and the mountains. The menus are contemporary and the quality is of the highest order. The service just adds to the atmosphere and this has to be the best restaurant on Lord Howe Island. What is even better is that the price includes not only the wonderful meals but also best quality wines.

In fact the staff at the Capella Lodge are of the very best, from remembering guests names, and they have an uncanny knack of seeming to anticipate what you want accurately time after time.

If you want to sit in the best place to see the sunset over the South Pacific then Gower’s Terrace is it. There is a relaxation area with a wet edge infinity plunge pool as a bonus.

Finally the Makambo Bar with its great cocktails, wines and coffee, and the Kentia Lounge with its open fire in the winter, just seal the deal as far as the Capella Inn being just the greatest romantic honeymoon getaway you will find anywhere in thie part of the world that is the South Pacific.

A secluded island getaway is the perfect dream vacation for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Most people say, the two most unforgettable occasions of their lives are their marriage and honeymoon days. Exotic locations, magnificent sunsets and silver moonlit nights help to enhance the charm of beginning a new chapter in your life. The vacation has to be picture perfect and according to most couple, simply being in the company of each other makes it perfect. For an unforgettable honeymoon vacation spot, decide on a secluded island getaway that will offer you absolute privacy and isolation; stay away from locations that are bustling with screaming children and touring crowds. With comfortable lodging with fireplaces, big bathtubs and gallery views you will be in heaven. Top that off with private dining options as well as idealistic places to go for walk, for instance a mountain pasture or a white sandy beach.

An example of great secluded island getaway would be the opportunity to pamper yourself in a dream land located at the Pacific or Asia. There are many secretive tropical islands to choose from in the privacy of Motu. Motu consists of small islands situated in South Pacific Ocean and are a private retreat with a small number of tourists. These islands provide you with complete solitude in comparison to the renowned islands of Bora Bora and Tahiti. The islands situated near Thailand and Phuket islands of Koh Tapu and Rang Yai are also good options for seclusion in the South Pacific/Asia area.

Believe it of not, certain parts of Africa can make for the perfect secluded island getaway. The Seychelles which is situated on its eastern coast includes a collection of 155 beautiful and isolated islands. There are lots of self catering islands easily accessible. For example, the Denis Island which comprises of 350 acres of undamaged plant life, colorful flowers, and blissful colorless sandy coastline would make for a great getaway destination.

Two more great options for a secluded island getaway would be the Bahamas or Caribbean. The Bahamas consist of a group of 1000 exotic islands. You can find a lot of private islands leasing next to the Atlantic coast close to Argentina and Brazil. Chile which is located on the western coastline consists of the Juan Fernandez Islands where the legend of Robinson Crusoe was founded.

Unknown to many, certain areas in Stockholm, Sweden can also make for a great private getaway. Surrounding Stockholm, Sweden there are numerous secretive islands with charming timber cottages by the side of waterfront. You can also go on a visit to the French estates and return to the serenity of your secretive island by motor boat.

So if you wish to escape the madding crowds and go on a secluded island getaway then you don’t need to worry much. Just choose a perfect location, pack your bags and set for your dream vacation.

Are you ready to go on your dream vacation but don’t want to spend a fortune on airfare? Find out the top secrets on how you can take a vacation to the most exotic islands without breaking the bank on airfare! Guaranteed!

Things To Consider When Going Hiking On Easter Island

Edit Article |

Posted: Jul 23, 2010 |

Share

]]>

Ask me which Pacific island has the most to offer hikers and I’ll probably answer Easter Island. Here on an island 11 km wide and 23 km long you’ll find nearly a thousand ancient Polynesian statues strewn along a powerfully beautiful coastline or littering the slopes of an extinct volcano.

The legends of Easter Island have been recounted many times. What’s less known is that the island’s assorted wonders are easily accessible on foot from the comfort of the only settlement, Hanga Roa. Before setting out see the sights, however, visit the excellent archaeological museum next to Ahu Tahai on the north side of town (the term “ahu” refers to an ancient stone platform). Aside from the exhibits, the museum has maps which can help you plan your trip.

The first morning after arrival, I suggest you climb Easter Island’s most spectacular volcano, Rano Kau, where Orongo, a major archaeological site, sits on the crater’s rim. But rather than marching straight up the main road to the crater, look for the unmarked shortcut trail off a driveway to the right just past the forestry station south of town. It takes under two hours to cover the six km from Hanga Roa to Orongo, but bring along a picnic lunch and make a day of it. (If climbing a 316-meter hill sounds daunting, you can take a taxi to the summit for around US and easily walk back later in the day.) Once on top, you’ll find hiking down into the colourful crater presents no difficulty. It may also look easy to go right around the crater rim, but only do so if you’re a very experienced hiker and have a companion along as shear 250-meter cliffs drop into the sea from the ridge.

Another day, rise early and take a taxi to lovely Anakena Beach at the end of the paved road on the north side of the island (you should pay under US for the 20 km). A few of the famous Easter Island statues have been restored at Anakena and you could go for a swim, although the main reason you’ve come is the chance to trek back to Hanga Roa around the road-free northwest corner of the island. You’ll pass numerous abandoned statues lying facedown where they fell, and the only living creatures you’re unlikely to encounter are the small brown hawks which will watch you intently from perches on nearby rocks. If you keep moving, you’ll arrive back in town in five or six hours (but take adequate food, water, and sunscreen). This is probably the finest coastal walk in the South Pacific.

Almost as good is the hike along the south coast, although you’re bound to run into other tourists here as a paved highway follows the shore. Begin early and catch a taxi to Rano Raraku, the stone quarry where all of the island’s statues were born. This is easily the island’s most spectacular sight with 397 statues in various stages of completion lying scattered around the crater. And each day large tour groups come to Rano Raraku to sightsee and have lunch. However, if you arrive before 9 am, you’ll have the site to yourself for a few hours. When you see the first tour buses headed your way, hike down to Ahu Tongariki on the coast, where 15 massive statues were reerected in 1994. From here, just start walking back toward Hanga Roa (20 km) along the south coast. You’ll pass many fallen statues and enjoy some superb scenery. Whenever you get tired, simply go up onto the highway and stick out your thumb and you’ll be back in town in a jiffy.

An outstanding 13-km walk begins at the museum and follows the west coast five km north to Ahu Tepeu. As elsewhere, keep your eyes pealed for banana trees growing out of the barren rocks as these often indicate caves you can explore. Inland from Ahu Tepeu is one of the island’s most photographed sites, Ahu Akivi, with seven statues restored in 1960. From here an interior farm road runs straight back to town (study the maps at the museum carefully, as you’ll go far out of your way if you choose the wrong road here).

A shorter hike takes you up Puna Pau, a smaller crater which provided stone for the red topknots that originally crowned the island’s statues. There’s a great view of Hanga Roa from the three crosses on an adjacent hill and you can easily do it all in half a day. A different walk takes you right around the 3,353-meter airport runway, which crosses the island just south of town. Near the east end of the runway is Ahu Vinapu with perfectly fitted monolithic stonework bearing an uncanny resemblance to similar constructions in Peru.

Easter Island’s moderate climate and scant vegetation make for easy cross country hiking, and you won’t find yourself blocked by fences and private property signs very often. You could also tour the island by mountain bike, available from several locations at US a day. If you surf or scuba dive, there are many opportunities here. A minimum of five days are needed to see the main sights of Easter Island, and two weeks would be far better. The variety of things to see and do will surprise you, and you’ll be blessed with some unforgettable memories.

Luxury Island Holidays For Independent Travelers

Experienced, savvy travelers seek out the best travel destinations the world has to offer, scouting for the ultimate combination of luxury accommodations, fine dining opportunities, and impeccable service, while at the same time enjoying unique local scenic splendor and culture. Luxury island holidays provide the perfect recipe for vacation success because each developed island of the globe, no matter its size, offers a unique view of the world. Resort owners of island properties typically cater to a specific group of travelers and offer a wide range of activities from, for example, an eco-friendly perspective where the resort blends seamlessly into the landscape to a bold high-rise hotel bustling with nightlife, and everything in between.

Two groups of islands are among the best luxury travel destinations in the world that appeal to upscale independent travelers: the islands of the South Pacific and the islands off the east coast of Africa. The Polynesian Islands of the South Pacific include exotic Tahiti, Bora Bora, and Morea, each boasting a host of fine resorts, many taking advantage of the pristine sand beaches and clear azure waters that are part of the South Pacific legend. Visitors to these exotic islands can select from a host of superior resorts that offer all the amenities imaginable on islands of every size. For the ultimate in privacy and tranquility, consider a resort that is located on a small private island.

Halfway around the world, the Seychelles Islands, an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean, are also known for phenomenal beaches, crystal clear waters and idyllic scenery coupled with five-star beachfront luxury resorts. For a change of pace, consider a stay at an eco-friendly inland small hotel and be close to the myriad of flora and fauna that can be found nowhere else in the world. Eco-friendly five-star resorts that offer the best in accommodations, dining and service can be easily found in the Seychelles.

For travelers who enjoy a tropical environment, the islands off the coast of the tiny Central American country of Belize offer spectacular scenery in a warm climate and waters. The reefs off the coast of Belize provide one of the premier scuba diving venues in the world. And unlike the remote islands in the middle of the ocean, guests at eco-friendly resorts on some of the islands of Belize are only a short boat trip from the mainland tour adventures to the Mayan ruins, bird-watching and other activities.

East of Belize, the Caribbean Islands are a group of volcanic islands that form the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. The culture of the islands is a rich blend of African and European influences upon an indigenous population that dates back to the era of colonialism. Again, sun, surf and luxury resorts abound in the Caribbean and upscale visitors have numerous five-star resorts from which to choose. Golf enthusiasts particularly enjoy the fine selection of courses available on the islands and the islands are known for their many jazz festivals.

Warm waters, sandy beaches, sunshine and luxurious pampering at a five-star luxury resort represent the ultimate in luxury travel for many an upscale globe-trotter. The warm islands of the world beckon and the hosts at these fine resorts are ready to fulfill the traveler’s every wish, including a private dinner on a secluded beach at sunset.

Island Hopping in French Polynesia

About the Author

Six exclusive luxury Sofitel and Novotel resorts in French Polynesia, including a private island, offering outstanding natural beauty, sparkling turquoise waters, and all the romance of the South Seas to travelers and honeymooners in search of the ultimate paradise island experience.

(ArticlesBase SC #248184)

Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/Island Hopping in French Polynesia





French Polynesia is perhaps the most beautiful as well as romantic destinations on the planet. Located halfway between Australia and South America, French Polynesia is a French overseas collectivity in the South Pacific Ocean.


Popularly known by the name of its core island, Tahiti – French Polynesia is a constellation of more than 115 volcanic as well as coral islands and atolls. The islands in French Polynesia are grouped into five groups, such as, the Society Islands, the Tuamotu Archipelago, the Gambier Islands, the Marquesas Islands, and the Tubuai islands.


Blessed with majestic mountain peaks, lush vegetation, and clear sparkling water, French Polynesia’s each island has its own unique flavor and charm. An amazing blend of beauty and tranquility, French Polynesia is a safe destination, with awe-inspiring attractions and amicable traditional Tahitian people.


Island hopping is the quintessential way to explore the magical beauty as well as interesting folklores associated with French Polynesian Islands. In other words, island hopping in French Polynesia is a great way to experience the unparalleled beauty of islands while enjoying a variety of recreational as well as adventure activities.


The glory of French Polynesia undoubtedly lies in Tahiti, its main island. Just few among many of its attractions are Tahiti lagoonarium with more than 1000 species of marine life; James Norman Hall Home; which served as residence of the renowned author, James Norman Hall; Point Venus, a historic site; and Paul Gauguin Museum, with an array of artifacts such as sculptures and wood carvings. Situated about 150 miles northwest of Tahiti and about 2500 miles south of Hawaii, Bora Bora is another much famed French Polynesian island. Bounded by verdant tropical flora, white sandy beaches, crystal clear lagoons, and turquoise water, Bora Bora is indeed an island paradise.


Magnificent islands in Society Island group also include Moorea, which is about 16 km Tahiti. As in the case of other Tahitian islands, Moorea is enriched with several myths. According to legends, a lizard with golden skin was abandoned by its human parents. As a result, it got stranded on Emeho reef. But, the gods turned this lizard into this Island. Indeed, Moorea is truly a jewel of French Polynesia.


Above all, many of the islands in Society Island such as Tahiti and Bora Bora are popular venues for weddings.


Situated more than 1500 km south-east of Tahiti, the Gambier group of islands includes 14 beautiful mountainous islands. These islands together are home to a myriad of stone buildings in the form of churches, presbyteries, convents, schools, weaving workshops, bakers’ ovens and watch towers.


The islands in the Marquesas group are about 1200 km north-east of Tahiti. Marquesas consists of six inhabited islands and six unpopulated islands.


When comes to Taumotu, it is an archipelago of over 75 low islands, spread across more than several hundred miles of the eastern Pacific. Taumotu’s highlights, among many others, are Rangiroa – the second largest atoll in the world, Manihi – where the South Seas gem was first farmed; and Fakarava, which is much famed for its various black pearl farms and tranquil white sandy beaches.


Also known as Austral Islands – Tubuai group islands are spread over 1200 km of the South Pacific. Included in this group are such incredible islands as Rurutu, Tapa, Raivavae, and Rimatara.


With five island groups and more than 115 incredible atolls, island hopping in French Polynesia would be really enjoyable. What you will need to make your island hopping a memorable experience are one whole week, leisurely mood, and an expert travel consultant. Island hopping in French Polynesia can be done in several ways.


One of the classic ways to perform island hopping in French Polynesia is through yacht cruise, with itineraries ranging from two to seven days. Usually, yacht cruises are mostly offered in the form of packages covering superb onboard facilities, sumptuous meals, and basic provisioning such as beverages and snacks. For those who want to do island hopping in an adventurous way, then one of the best options would be via rowing boats. In addition to yacht cruises, other popular ways for island hopping are through plane and helicopter.


When you choose travel consultants for island hopping, it must be checked whether the packages offered by them cover trips to much famed islands of Polynesia. There are some service providers that customize island hopping packages. Many hotels and resorts also now provide excellent opportunities for island hopping in French Polynesia, along with other activities such as hiking, canoeing, and kayaking.
