On islands such as Fiji and French Polynesia, water taxis are a familiar way to get around. Finding a ride on these small boats is easy, as they transport passengers between the main islands and resorts, providing scenic views and an unforgettable experience.

Tuk-tuks, small three-wheeled vehicles popular in Southeast Asia, can be found in Papua New Guinea and some other islands. They are often brightly coloured and can be adorned with various decorations, adding a bit of exoticism and fun to your journey.

Vanuatu offers an unusual and exciting service — air taxis. These small planes will take you to remote islands and inaccessible corners of the archipelago, providing a quick and comfortable flight. Air taxis over volcanoes are a separate exciting tourist attraction that will add to the thrill of a trip to Vanuatu.

In Australia, you'll find so-called ‘giant taxis’ — large SUVs and minivans designed to carry large groups of travellers or families with lots of luggage. They are often equipped with all the amenities for long journeys.

On islands such as Tonga and Fiji, some taxi drivers offer guided tours, showing tourists local sights and talking about the region's specialities. This is a great way to learn more about the culture and traditions of the islands.

Another surprising feature of taxis in Australia is the requirement to carry an armful of hay. The law was enacted so that taxi drivers would always be able to feed their horses if they got tired on the road. The law has not been repealed to this day, and there are still penalties for non-compliance. Of course, nowadays it's more of a tribute to tradition, but it adds a kind of charm and uniqueness to your journeys around the country.
