In this part of the world, culture is a living, vibrant thing which you can reach out and embrace.

You’ll experience it in Samoa where the ancient art of tattooing is still practiced today. And in the Solomon Islands where shell and feather money is still used as part of a dowry or to barter for food and other items.

It’s where ancient mud dancers from the Papua New Guinea Highlands perform ritualistic song and dance handed down from generation to generation.

It’s the Fijians with their colourful mekes (song and dance), or the Tahitians with their vibrant and lively tamure. The Cook Islands dance, which is similar to the Tahitian tamure, is also guaranteed to leave you breathless.

It’s all this and more. Myths, legends, folklore and stories all come together in a fascinating blend of traditional song, dance and celebration which makes your island holiday experience that much more satisfying and memorable.
