Oceania has a pleasant climate throughout the most of the region year-round; here winters are mild and are almost non-existent in northern Australia and some islands as well. Summers are generally hot, but rarely unbearably scorching is there, except for the outback, in the inland deserts of Australia, which may become unbearlly hot.

Australia has most of its domestic travels in summer whereas New Zealand is a popular skiing destination in winter. South Pacific islands such as French Polynesia, Fiji and the Cook Islands, has witnessed most of the best crowds in the dry season, from May to October. During the wet season, i.e. generally from December to March, it's very humid and there can be tropical cyclones. Papua New Guinea has a monsoonal climate, while Guam is wet year-round and typhoons tend to occur between July and November so it’s not advisable to visit the place during this period.

Domestic flights are the best option for travelling within Australia and New Zealand, if distance is to be considered. Interstate trains and buses cover most of Australia, as long as you're not in a hurry and just want to enjoy your journey. New Zealand has an excellent bus service but to really explore the country at your own pace, we advise you to hire a car and enjoy the breathtaking views of the place.

PNG and the Cook Islands are available when taking flights to the Pacific Islands,  but might require flying via Australia or New Zealand. Taxis in Guam, the Cook Islands, Papa New Guinea and Fiji, are not always metered, so it’s best to agree on a fare to your destination in well in advance.
