We left the ship after lunch once customs clearance had been obtained. As soon as we landed in the village of Sola we could hear Vanuatu Honeyeaters calling, a species that occurs at higher elevation on other islands, but is pleasantly common down to sea level on Vanua Lava. It didn't take long for us to get excellent views of this distinct, endemic honeyeater. We joined our local guide Eddy 台東伴手禮店 and started to walk towards the main village, finding flocks of Vanuatu White-eyes and Long-tailed Trillers along the way. Chief Jonas Hollani touched our hearts as he shared ancestor tales and legends about the creation of Taumako sailing techniques. After dinner, guest presenter, Chris delivered an informative presentation on Polynesian traditional sailing techniques and symbolism.
The intertidal pools of Tora Village were a delight to wonder across. Countless invertebrates and juvenile fish spread across the seagrass habitat. It took a keen eye to spot the juvenile moray eel and nudibranch concealed against the bottom. Brittlestars overtook many of the cracks and crevices, with their long thin arms slinking out, and a range of urchins were also nestled into cracks.
With its otherworldly natural structures, all of which have alluring names such as the Fairy Shoe and Sea Candles, the park makes for an enriching day trip from Taipei. For a 4-star hotel, the average price is $212/night, and if you are looking for a 5-star hotel in Taitung City then the average price is around $94/night. Enjoy the peaceful countryside and coastline at parks, such as Xiaoyeliu Scenic Area and the accompanying rock-strewn beaches. Cycle around Taitung Forest Park and its three lakes or take a boat to Green Island for snorkelling and soaking in saltwater hot springs. Steps from Tiehua Music Village, The Gaya Hotel is located in Taitung City and provides comfortable accommodation.

By the time Tony co-founded Lonely Planet Publications in 1973, he already had the travel bug. And ever since, travel and discovery have been at the heart of his life and career. Early evening, we joined Nathan and the expedition team for our final recap and photographic slideshow which encapsulates the Secrets of Melanesia. The Melanesian island group of Santa Cruz lies southeast of the Solomon Islands group and north of Vanuatu.
Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Center in Kaohsiung and completed in 2011, BMC has been enshrining the Buddha’s relic, given by Tibetan Lama Kunga Dorje Rinpoche since the beginning of contraction in 2001. We will be spending most of our day at this place to enjoy the serene atmosphere, which also allows you to explore the whole area. Siaoyeliou - this area to the north provides great snorkeling options for travelers.
●Longshan Temple which has been built since 1738 and is one of the most historical Chinese temples in Taiwan. We will be also going to the nearby Snake Alley to experience local people’s life, delicacies and drinks. We woke to the rock and roll of the Pacific Ocean this morning and to a standby message to be ready for an expedition morning based on new tide readings obtained in situ by our expedition leader, Nathan. Located northeast of Nendö, the isolated Duff Islands are a cluster of 11 small islands situated in the Temotu Province.
Soon we heard a pair of Woodford's Rails and after some maneuvering and patient waiting we had the pair cross the road, offering point-blank views, the definite highlight of the morning. We got into the vans again and drove down with one final stop producing a close pair of Ultramarine Kingfishers that showed exceptionally well, ending a very productive first morning. Birders had an early start this morning, heading up to Mt. Austin.
Along the way we learnt more about how villagers live, staple diet, medicinal plants, cash crops and view the South Sea Evangelical mission memorial of the returned ‘kanakas’ from the cane fields in Queensland. Some noted with interest that the plaque noted both converted and heathen members of the village. During the late 19th century many coastal areas in the Solomon Island had a long history of "black birding", the seizure of islanders for work on the sugar cane plantations of Australia and Fiji. Birders landed at daybreak on Champagne Beach and Vanuatu Whistlers kicked off the dawn chorus.
A timid black spotted puffer was curled into a coral head and an energetic blue blanquillo was cruising above the bottom. Right out on the point a lone nudibranch sat on a rock, miniature in size, but vibrant in colour. Looking towards the surface a school of needlefish could be seen darting around. Due to the remoteness of these islands the bird diversity is relatively low, but it is one of the best places in the world to see the range-restricted Palm Lorikeet. After the greetings and dances had finished it didn't take us too long before we had the small Palm Lorikeet in the scope and the species proved to be numerous, offering many excellent views. We also saw many Cardinal Myzomelas, a few Ruddy Turnstones on the beach, a calling Wandering Tattler, and Pacific Kingfishers.
