Oceania
With over 25 countries spread over 25,000 islands, Oceania is deeply linked to the Pacific Ocean. It is home to long white beaches, stunning coral reefs, and volcanic islands rising out of the Pacific. Its countries also have both some of the world’s most cosmopolitan and internationalized cities such as Melbourne in Australia, and host some very remote and aboriginal villages.

Oceania Travel Safety Advice
Below is some useful information for travelling safely in Oceania. Learn about more dangers and threats by going on the country or city page
Always take special care when exploring remote areas / islands, especially for women travelling alone. The biggest threats tourists can encounter come from the wild: animals such as venomous snakes, spiders or alligators; riptides or mosquito-borne diseases are more likely to be an issue than pickpockets compared to other regions of the world.
In urban areas, protect your personal belongings at all times, especially your ID and passport. Petty crime, like bag snatching and pick pocketing, is a serious problem around touristic areas and on public transport.
