Oceania Travel Adapter: Down Under and Out in the Pacific

Oceania is mostly one plug. Australia, New Zealand, and most of the South Pacific share Type I, the US Pacific islands use the same plugs as home, and the French islands bring their own. One universal adapter covers every place on this page.

The Short Answer

Australia, New Zealand, and most of the South Pacific use Type I.
From the US: Guam, Palau, Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa use Type A and Type B at 110–120V. No adapter needed there.
The French islands (French Polynesia, Tahiti, and New Caledonia) use Type C and Type E/F.
Easiest: the Ceptics adapter covers Type A, C, and I, which is every place on this page.
Visiting the US Pacific islands from Europe with grounded Type E/F (Schuko) plugs: bring a grounded Type E/F to Type B adapter. Everyone else: bring a Type B adapter.
Voltage: 220–240V across most of Oceania. The US Pacific islands use 110–120V, and Wake Island has no public power grid. A plug adapter does not convert voltage. See voltage below.
