For more than 30 years, Paradises has explored the Pacific beyond its postcard shorelines, uncovering extraordinary places to dive, hike, surf and discover. Our adventure collection brings together resorts that put remarkable reefs, wild landscapes and unforgettable experiences within reach.
The Pacific rewards travellers who want to get out and explore. Dive among historic wrecks, encounter mantas, hike and dive or make base for surfing, fishing and island exploration across the continent.
Explore coral walls, thriving reefs, manta cleaning stations and extraordinary shipwrecks, with some resorts offering dedicated dive centres and experiences for beginners through to advanced divers.
Follow rainforest trails to waterfalls, discover caves and historic sites, paddle through mangroves or explore islands where the natural environment remains a defining part of the journey.
Surf Pacific swells, kayak secluded coastlines, snorkel coral gardens, fish offshore waters or paddle straight from the beach, with a different adventure waiting above and below the surface.
Adventure looks different across the Pacific. Explore the legendary wrecks of Chuuk, dive alongside manta rays in Yap, combine rainforest and reef adventures in Fiji or venture into Papua New Guinea for surfing, diving, trekking and remote-island discovery.
Fiji, Micronesia and Papua New Guinea offer particularly varied adventure experiences. Depending on where you travel, days can include scuba diving, surfing, hiking, fishing, kayaking, snorkelling and exploring remote islands or culturally significant sites.
Paradise features several destinations renowned for diving. Chuuk is famous for historic wrecks, Yap for manta rays and diverse reef diving, Kosrae for clear water and living coral reefs, while Fiji and Papua New Guinea offer exceptional reefs, walls and marine life.
Chuuk is one of the standout choices. Blue Lagoon Resort and Dive Shop and Truk Stop Hotel both provide access to the historic wrecks of Truk Lagoon, where dozens of vessels from World War II lie beneath the water.
Manta Ray Bay Resort & Yap Divers is based in Yap, a destination known for its resident manta population and year-round encounters. The resort also offers access to more than 50 dive sites and seasonal blackwater diving.
Yes. Some properties cater for a range of experience levels. Paradise Taveuni welcomes first-time through to advanced divers, while Loloata Island Resort has a PADI-certified dive and activities centre where learning to dive is an option.
Adventure in the Pacific extends well beyond diving. Depending on the resort and destination, you can kayak, surf, fish, hike, paddleboard, snorkel, cycle, visit waterfalls or explore local history and culture.
Nusa Island Retreat in Papua New Guinea is particularly versatile. The Kavieng area offers surfing during its swell season alongside diving, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, cycling and island walking trails.
Start with the experience that matters most to you. Dedicated divers may prioritise an on-site dive centre and access to specific sites, while surfers, hikers or paddlers should consider seasonality, location and how easily activities can be arranged directly from the resort.
