Customer Reviews

A great starting point for the South Pacific
I'm extremely impressed at the South Pacific book by LP. Sometimes with books that are published as multi-country guides, you're worried that they're going to totally miss the smaller islands that themselves don't warrant their own individual books. To my surprise, places like Niue, Tuvalu, Pitcairn Island (itself a curious choice) were covered and yet misses Nauru and Palau.

However, nitpicking aside, this is a really good book, even for travel book standards. It's pretty comprehensive, and you can tell that the book had boots on the ground instead of less dubious LP authors just writing about what they find on the internet.

As someone who likes to find a brand of travel books and stick with them, I feel that Lonely Planet fell apart over the last few years and are slowly getting back to the top of the heap. I plan to use this book as the primary source of information for Fiji and Tuvalu for starters, and then see where the winds take me. I'm happy with a travel book for once, and that says a lot.

South Pacific Guide book
The guide is well oraganized, includes all the pertinent items of weather, cost, options, activities, etc. I expect it to be a great help when I travel around the south pacific islands.
