Kids Fly Free To The Fiji Islands – Go Play On The Coral Coast

The Fiji Islands are calling with a fabulous family vacation deal – Kids Fly Free to Fiji! South Pacific specialist, Travel2.com, is offering flights on South Pacific Air from  LAX to NAN from $679 each way per adult with two kids under the age of 12 flying along for free with two paying adults.  So for the cost of two flights, a family of four can fly off to experience the 300 gorgeous islands and  dazzling lagoons that make up the island nation of Fiji.

A South Pacific island probably hasn’t been the first destination that comes to mind when thinking about a family vacation – but on second thought – why not???  The Fijian islands are a wonderland for every water based activity imaginable, and the Fijian people are some of the friendliest folks on earth.  And as the Aussies know, (Fiji is a popular vacation destination for Australians) many of the resorts have extensive kids programs and offer amenities that will make your family feel right at home.  Couple all this with an incredibly great exchange rate (1 USD =2 FJD), and you have the makings of a great vacation opportunity.  We traveled with our kids to Fiji, staying at the Fijian Shangri La Hotel, and had a fabulous time snorkeling on the Coral Coast, playing Golf on their 9 hole course, lawn bowling, windsurfing – you name it!

You can save even more money by booking one of  Travel2′s family vacation packages – here’s a sampling:

• Sonaisali Island Family Vacation, 8 Days from $419 per person, which includes 7 nights lodging, a jungle cruise, breakfast daily, airport transfers, and a village tour…. PLUS, Kids under 12 eat free!

Super Low Prices For Luxury South Pacific Vacations

Lately the prices for South Pacific vacations have been dropping like stones.  In years past, the price of a trip to the exotic islands of Tahiti and Fiji would take your breath away (and not in a good way).  But this spring we’re seeing tremendous sales – you can now take a week’s vacation on either island for about $1,000 per person – amazing!  Here are two top examples:

#1)  Islands In The Sun is offering a Fijian Delight, “Why Hula When You Can Bula?” vacation. (Bula means hello/welcome in the Fijian language.)  For the package price of $999, you’ll receive 2 nights at the deluxe Sofitel Fiji Resort, and 3 nights at exclusive Castaway Island Resort in an Island Bure (thatched hut).  All transfers and launch to island are included, along with TWO bottles of bubbly, french chocolates, tropical fruit, and a boating day trip.  Click the link above for more details and the terms and conditions.

#2)  Super luxury sailing schooner Star Clippers is offering Tahiti cruises at 50% off regular fares. For several sailings throughout the summer and fall rates begin at $1,033 (ppdo), and selected sailings include a free category upgrade!  Imagine sailing from Moorea to Bora Bora to Taha’a and beyond.  I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to book passage now!  Yes, there will be terms and conditions and port charges are extra, so get all the details here – or on the Star Clippers’ web site.

Each of these vacations are land only, so round up those frequent flyer miles to make these vacations an even better deal.  Either destination will leave you weak in the knees – they are truly the most romantic islands for exotic scenic splendour you’ll ever encounter.
