Oceania on this site covers 13 country guides: New Zealand and the island nations of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. Australia has its own region. Travel here is mostly by air and sea, with small domestic airlines and ferries linking islands that can be hundreds of kilometres apart, so schedules and weather matter more than road distances. Many islands have a cyclone season, usually from November to April, and costs are often higher than the scenery suggests because most supplies are shipped in.
Choose one country guide first, check its transport and season notes, then use its location pages to pick the island or area to stay on.
