Once known as the New Hebrides, these islands near Salomone and New Guinea are still today one of the wildest places on Earth. On board an oceanographic ship, you visit some of the most remote parts of the world, swapping places with the underwater world that you can see by diving among animals with no fear of Man: turtles, giant squid, purple and yellow coral, gorgonie 5 metres long; and all this before a visit to the biggest second world war wreck around: the president Coolidge. Loaded with weapons and chandelry, it has exceptional guards: two enormous cuttlefish and the sea snakes. Between the mountains and the dense jungle, an exciting meeting with the last cannibals and the active volcano Yasur.

On the border between Melanasia and Polynesia, these Fijian islands have a natural life that is practically unchanged, lying just outside the capital and its luxury hotels. Taveuni, the third largest island, can easily be reached but only by small aeroplanes or by a quaint little ferry. A couple of welcoming and comfortable resorts greet the tourist and swap the tiring journey for a scenery that you dream of, waterfalls, fern forests, deserted beaches and warm, clear sea water. For those keen on scuba diving, the Rainbow reef, one of the most beautiful sea beds in the world, provides unique sights like the green hills of cauliflower-shaped coral or the “yellow tunnel” due to the presence of only yellow alcionari.

Close to the Solomon and New Guinea, once known as the New Hebrides, the Vanuatu are still one of the most savage and spectacular islands on the planet. On board an oceanographic vessel, we visit the most remote lands and we take diving between strepitose animals still devoid of fear: turtles, giant cuttlefish, yellow and purple corals, five meters long sea fans. Than we visit the biggest wreck of the Second World War: President Coolidge, with its weapons and furnishings. It has exceptional guards: two enormous groupers and sea snakes. Among the mountains and dense jungle, we encounter the latest cannibals near the great active Yasur volcano.
