Collectively known as the Pacific Islands, these stunning island nations are characterized by mostly tropical climates and breathtaking natural beauty. The region includes countries and territories such as New Zealand, Fiji, Vanuatu, Norfolk Island, the Cook Islands, Samoa, Kiribati, and Tahiti. Renowned for their dazzling white beaches and vibrant coral reefs, these islands are popular travel destinations. The Indigenous peoples of the region are known as Pacific Islanders.
