4  French Polynesia

French Polynesia, perhaps best known internationally as an artist’s hideaway, has some rare thrills in store for Camilla Andersen, who doesn’t have to look long to find out what drew the likes of Gauguin to this far flung corner of the world, including a jet-ski ride on one of the most treacherous waves in the Pacific. She ends her incredible journey through the islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Hiva Oa listening to the unique song of the humpback whale, while snorkeling well above the massive creature.

5  Rapa Nui & Hawaii

At what seems the most isolated place in the entire world, the island of Rapa Nui, Camilla Andersen is faced with the baffling structures of the Moai as they are revealing themselves at sunrise. After getting a taste of age-old traditions, as well as sampling the local cooking technique, she's in for a complete culture shock in blue Hawaii. Where else would she be tearing up the asphalt in a hot red mustang with an Elvis impersonator on her side? A doors-off scenic helicopter flight follows on Maui and before leaving the island Camilla witnesses the dawn of another day, this time above the clouds at Haleakala Crater.
