South Pacific Pocket Guide レビュー 44

Wow, this “Pocket” guide is so detailed and full of information and links it’s not fair to call it a pocket guide.
The Author and Editor have obviously spent a lot of time visiting, researching and updating this guide. Theres rarely a question I have that I can’t find an answer to in the guide. They cover everything. Every topic is well linked to subtopics, and the search bar works well for quick answers.
The guide is laid out naturally, and flows in a smooth manner. The index is short, and concise. After a couple weeks of popping in and out, I downloaded the Pdf version for my phone which I can use when exploring or planning activities without needing internet access during my upcoming visit to the Cook Islands. Again Well Done!

I found the pocket guides very helpful in our past trip to Fiji. We loved our vacation so much, we are planning another 6 weeks to Fiji, Samoa and Vanuatu. Though it is very informative with info on flights and accommodations, what I like most are the other things. Things like currency/ ATM's, Local culture and etiquette, FAQ's, tips, and different destinations within the country.
Thank you Robin and Laura for all your hard work and making our vacations that much better !

Researching a trip to American Samoa and came across their site. Laura was prompt in answering my email and provided very useful information. Always refreshing to connect with a real human who is happy to answer questions and doesn't mind if you ask more. I look forward to seeing more of what you have to offer.

We had a great experience using Pocket Guide during our travels in the South Pacific. We were traveling independently without a traditional guidebook, and Pocket Guide became a reliable and very practical source of information for us.

What we appreciate most is the balance in their content. They offer valuable recommendations for budget travelers, while also including options for those who prefer more comfort and curated experiences. This flexibility makes their guides accessible and useful for a wide range of travelers.

Thanks to Pocket Guide, we discovered interesting excursion ideas as well as practical advice, such as accommodation tips and helpful planning information. It made navigating new destinations much easier and more efficient.

Thank you for the quality content and thoughtful approach. We are looking forward to your coverage of Vanuatu.

I emailed and replied with a concise reply with lots of options and suggestions.

As I have been following Robin and Laura for over 5 years and already appreciated their valuable tips when planning and carrying out my trip to New Zealand, it was only natural for me to turn to these excellent travel experts again for our trip to the Cook Islands (Rarotonga).
Our expectations were met 100%, starting with the choice of our hotel, car rental and excursion tips such as Te Vara Nui Village or Papua Waterfall.
Both are authentic and reliable in answering any kind of question, and giving valuable tips to travellers from all over the world is a real vocation and passion for Robin and Laura. Thank you very much for that.
For us, there is no better source of information when it comes to travelling to the South Pacific.

I'm from Spain and I was looking for reliable information about New Zealand, especially regarding job opportunities in the hospitality sector. I reached out with several questions, and they replied in an incredibly kind and detailed way. They gave me super helpful, real-world advice and answered all my doubts with patience and clarity. I truly recommend Robin!

I am from Brazil and I was looking for information about visas or entry permits for Samoa and found the South Pacific Pocket Guide. I sent an email and Mr. Robin promptly replied with important guidance. Thank you and best of luck!

Used their guides for my Tonga trip which so far has gone great! Also got lucky to meet the people behind the website while here in Tonga, they are super kind and deserve all the support they can get.

Robin was just delightful to contact me and share information. I visited the Cook Islands in 1992, and have treasured that visit ever since. You could find no better advocate than Robin to help you with your visit. Thanks so much!

The guide is really helpful in planning our New Zealand trip. I find both the blog and the YouTube channel very clear and informative. Both creators are really likable, and my inquiry via Instagram was answered in detail within hours.

Five stars ! Fiji pocket guide was the best guide we have ever had the pleasure to read. Laura is awesome and took the time to reply to our private message asking about car rentals and travel options. We loved the videos by Robin and Laura. I travelled to Fiji with my wife in March 2025 and went shark diving before our cruise and we are both so grateful for all the detailed tips and suggestions contained in the pocket guide. Recommendation for the car rental was spot on and the accommodation and restaurant guide was so helpful. Highly recommend this guide to anyone thinking about Fiji. Keep up the great work

I need advice on a couple of specific matters and they were great. They responded quickly and with great advice.

South Pacific pocket Guide has been prompt and very helpful with answers to my questions.

Very helpful with my outreach queries

Authentic, insightful & wonderful content from these folks. They have always amazed me with their engaging videos, witty jokes and knowledge about everything New Zealand. Even as an incoming international student, i found their reviews to be of real help and guidance. Highly recommended for all groups of people.

A super helpful guide to ease the planning process of your travel. We had heaps of stress and nerves planning but then found the Pocket Guide to really help us make the planning process enjoyable. Would happily recommend it to all ages with entertaining and well detailed information.

What a great website to get all in the inside info on Samoa before my visit. And to reach out and ask a question and have it answered so promptly was fantastic. I'm also looking forward to sharing my experiences with Robin and the team when I get home.

20 Stars - how good was it finding these guys ??
I have asked a variety of obscure questions since wanting to go to the Cook Islands and nothing seems too difficult for them to reply. I can give them 20 thumbs up for their contributions to all. Well done!!
