Cheapest way to travel the *DEEP* south Pacific Ocean

I currently live in Philadelphia, USA. Recently, some travelers I met, told me that there is a plane that goes from NYC -> San Fran for 70 bux. I've always wanted to live/travel the deep south pacific ocean..., such as the polynesia... in general. The only thing is..., Oceania is the most vast contient on earth, and picking one island to go to from ovber 7000-8000 miles away seems kinda silly to me. So what the CHEAPEST way to travel between the islands. Time is no object.

Sail Boat??
Freighter??

those seem the cheapest things i could think of..., but I've heard freighters are not cheap at all, but if u've heard different let me know.

PLus, I'd like to be able to live independantly of civilization. That means i only need a quiet album, with a very miniscule connection to the globe. Maybe just a place to buy bread or somthing, i dont need much or even that!!! especially if i can just fish..., let me know whats up...,

fyi - this is getting reposted in the austrailian and california forum.

thankyou

 

I dont understand how in a hippy forum, no one knows *anything* about traveling the pacific ocean from new zealand..., should i post this in another forum???

 

there are cheap flights available these days from NZ to places like fiji
they are still around 400 nz dollars

 

I think your best bet is a cruise ship/ocean liner.

As for going on a container shipping boat, you'd have to talk to the freight companies. it's not the most USUAL form of transport. That's why no one knows about it. Even hippies use airplanes.

 

u know what, i know this thread is old, but im going to bump it anyways cause just recently i was thinking of doing something very similar. I was gonna start in Hawaii and work my way down through Ocenia and Polynesia, and eventually New Zealand, and then stop in Australia. Just kind of a thought in the air really, but if anyone can help me and the OP out with some info, that would be awesome. Thanks.

 

The company that runs the general store here in my community also Has a bunch of job openings at different airports & resorts around Australia & NZ.
Do a search for "Delaware North"....in case u need a job while u are down under.
