Seeking suggestions for holiday destinations in the South Pacific? Looking to go in the first half of Feb with my partner. If windsurf gear can be rented that would be a big bonus. It sounds like Feb is not the windiest time for many destinations though. We are happy to consider Fiji, Cook Islands, French Polynesia, etc.
My partner has said she doesn't want anywhere "too rough, nor too swanky or corporate, and preferably where we can contribute our tourist dollars to locals and not some multinational corporation".
Any ideas?
Hi Pedro. The disadvantage to Fiji that time of year is that it's the wet/cyclone season - http://www.fiji-islands.com.au/weather.cfm .
The rain doesn't matter, but it seems like the problem would be that the trade winds would be lighter than in the winter. A place like that is too good to waste on summer, as the weather there in winter beats Sydney or Melbourne hands down.
If you like fish curries, it is a great place to eat as well! There's also a kiosk on the island where you can buy a steak sandwich or two, and all that sort of good stuff if you aren't too keen on fish.
Does Sydney classify as the South Pacific? You're welcome to give your cash to some of the locals here
