Baerbock will first fly to Adelaide in Australia on Wednesday before a series of engagements in the New Zealand capital Auckland on Friday and Saturday.
She will conclude the trip with a visit to Fiji.
The trip will focus on security policy and climate protection.
Baerbock will be the first German foreign minister to visit Fiji and the first to visit Australia and New Zealand for 13 years.
She was due to visit the three countries last August but had to cancel the trip because her official plane developed the same fault twice within 24 hours during take-off for Australia after a stopover in Abu Dhabi.
She had to return to Germany on a commercial flight.
