From the Author:
The South Pacific at your fingertips
This handbook is intended for those who will be visiting two or more countries, making it unnecessary to carry several volumes. Having the entire region in one portable work allows you to read up on places not covered in single-country guides. I've tried to present the whole range of accommodations options from backpacker hostels and camping to small luxury resorts on the outer islands. I don't accept hospitality from the hotel chains, and without any favors to repay, my listings could help you avoid a major disappointment. Whether you're looking for the most for the least or value for money, you'll find it here. As well, the detailed background information, contact numbers, and other resources help make the handbook a thorough reference work. Since July 1979 the South Pacific Handbook has gone through six editions and it now incorporates years of research and experience. I hope you'll find my book a useful guide to one of the most spectaculair and easily accessible travel areas on earth.
