Freshly speared fish, private surf breaks, mind-boggling sea life encounters and kava so strong it will knock your thongs off.

This is the side of the South Pacific we know best at get lost Travel Magazine. 

We think it's a safe bet that countries like Vanuatu, New Caledonia, the Solomon Islands and French Polynesia are going to be among the first to welcome Australians once we can finally travel again, and now is your chance to skip the flop-and-drop resort stay the region has become so famous for, and finally plan for a different and truly local experience. 

get lost's new South Pacific Cool Guide is the definitive list of where to sleep, eat, drink, surf and party on some of the most remote specks of sand scattered right throughout the southern Pacific Ocean. 

We've also gone so far to pick the coolest South Pacific country. It's an archipelago so perfect and so underrated that we think it's primed for a tourism explosion once adventure-hungry Aussies break free in search of inspiring post-pandemic travel experiences. But you'll have to grab a copy to find out exactly where it is!

“It has always astounded me that the South Pacific is not explored more. There are so many incredible world-class travel experiences outside of the 'club sandwich resorts' that dominate the marketing from the region. From wild adventures, culture shocks and untrodden trails, the islands of the South Pacific have long been a favourite of ours," says the magazine's publisher, Justin Jamieson.

Elsewhere in the issue, we explore the rise of the 'Workation' by covering off all the countries you can now get a remote work visa. We spotlight secret off-the-grid islands in New Zealand and get seriously high in Colorado's Rocky Mountains. 

There's plenty more international action, too, including that time one of our writers managed to survive an entire day in Japan just eating mystery food from vending machines.
