How much does it cost to travel in South Pacific?

The islands of the South Pacific are outlined by white beaches from which many snorkel and dive to view the colourful underwater world. Inland travellers trek through the deep rainforest and climb lush mountains. Fiji in particular is a top honeymoon destination, with the average tourist spending around $100 a day. If you want to stay in luxury accommodation, you will need to more than double this figure.

If you can afford to visit this array of islands you will be rewarded with coral reefs, waterfalls, rugged mountains and perhaps a glimpse into traditional village life.
