Travel Publishing announces the release of the 8th edition of
Moon Handbooks South Pacific by David Stanley.
This 1091-page travel guide describes and maps Tahiti and French
Polynesia, Pitcairn, Easter Island, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga,
the Samoas, Tokelau, Wallis and Futuna, Tuvalu, Fiji, New Caledonia,
Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands.
The 119 town plans and island maps are carefully labeled, without the
confusing numbered map keys found in other guidebooks. For ease of
reference, all internet and email addresses are now embedded in the
listings.
Moon Handbooks South Pacific highlights scuba diving, snorkeling,
surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, yachting, cruising, hiking, fishing,
and golf. Beaches, sightseeing, transportation, and places to stay
and eat are thoroughly covered, as are the histories, economies,
environments, cultures, and peoples of the Pacific region. A
comprehensive 25-page index ties it all together.
Author David Stanley has been writing about the South Pacific for
over 25 years. Paul Theroux called his handbook "the most user-
friendly travel guide to the South Pacific," and it remains the
leading guidebook to the Pacific islands.
