South Pacific Travel Guide

By Islomaniac | August 6, 2007

One of the perks of having a successful website is occasionally people send you products. I was recently sent a copy of “South Pacific” by author David Stanley. South Pacific is from the Moon Handbook series of travel guides. I don’t even know where to begin when describing this guide, all I can say is it’s a gem, a gem I wish I had when I was extensively traveling the South Pacific many years ago.

The guide opens with a description of the south pacific, its people, regions, history, and formation.

The book is impeccably organized and designed, covering every region including French Polynesia, Pitcairn Islands, Easter Islands, Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga, Fiji and more. Each region is described based on factors such as geography, history, attractions, places to stay, places to eat and much much more. Furthermore each region discusses the sub regions and individual islands providing a more detailed analysis of what is to be seen and done in that area. The guide also discusses how to get to the island, provides maps of the various islands, and provides tips on what you should bring with you to the islands.

Overall South Pacific is a well researched, exceptionally written and logically indexed book that provides and informative and in-depth analysis of an often neglected region in the travel industry. Therefore if you are at all considering traveling to any of the South Pacific Islands I would encourage you to pick up a copy of this book.

The book retails for $24.95 in the US which is exceptionally affordable considering it is over one thousand pages in length.

Update: You can find out more information about this book at David’s South Pacific website.
