What Tropical Island Vacation would you prefer?

[AviatorTom]

If money was no object, and you could afford the time off from work and other responsibilities...

Which of these Tropical Island locations would you prefer to spend a 2-week vacation at?

Feel free to explain in an opinion why you choose it.

Fiji

Hawaii

Maldives

Seychelles

No clear favorite... that's interesting. I guess people just want to go someplace warm with nice beaches and non-polluted water.

Hawaii is an easy choice. They have some of the best biodiversity a person could hope to witness in the world!

"Hawaii supports nearly 200 terrestrial, freshwater and subterranean natural communities ranging from lowland rainforests to alpine aeolian deserts, coastal cliff ecosystems to montane bogs, anchialine pools to alpine lakes, and lava tube cave communities dominated by blind spider, roothoppers and crickets to island stream systems characterized by a macrofauna derived from oceanic fishes and macroinvertebrates. Hawaii supports many aquatic and marine communities including estuaries, seagrass beds, continuous perennial streams, seabird nesting concentrations, and the most expansive coral reef system in the U. S.

The majority of Hawaiian species are found nowhere else on Earth, including over 800 plant species, 40 vertebrates, and nearly all its terrestrial native invertebrates. Terrestrial endemism hovers near 90 percent, making Hawaii one of the hottest spots for unique taxa in the world. These endemic species include the state bird, the Nēnē, or Hawaiian goose, the Hawaiian monk seal, and the No-eyed Big-eyed Hunting Cave Spider. The oldest islands of Oahu and Kauai are richest in endemic plants, including tree violets, mintless mints, tube-flowered lobelioids, and hundreds of other globally imperiled flowering plants and ferns."

I've had a look at photos of those places and there doesn't seem to be much difference between them. The beaches are nice but you can find similar ones just about anywhere even here in the UK and when you live on the coast beach holidays don't mean that much. I think Hawaii would be best because there's more to explore inland.

Fiji is absolutely gorgeous been there many times we are planning on buying a beach front house in a few months so we can stay whenever we want

Hawaii. I would like to hang out with McGarrett and the boys

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

I really don't know... I would have to do research first; on which island has the most nude beaches or the most freedom/ liberal views towards nudism. On my vacation, I want to relax. And I can only fully relax when I am clothesfree.

[Amy10223]

It would be a tie for me with Fiji and Hawaii. I’ve heard from my daughter about Hawaii and saw how beautiful it is. But Fiji seems so exotic and different. Both must be gorgeous.

[Hawkes_Lady]

Seychelles would be my choice, but not really for any specific reason as they all pretty much look the same. Although, I will probably make it to Hawaii before any of the others.

[antelope51]

I have a good friend who moved there, so potential for having a tour-guide/cheap place to stay. But it looks like a PITA to get there and back.

[antelope51]

Fiji - forgot to add that part

[NathanDavis]

I''ll need to know your opinions first... @mandyfire98 @7Phoenix7

[mandyfire98]

Maldives

[OlderAndWiser]

The photos of the Seychelles are VERY enticing!

[DizzyDesii]

Well since Australia isn't tropical..: then Bahamas or Bali

[DizzyDesii]

Of your options, Maldives

[andreasderjuengere]

None of these, as they are over-run by plebs.

I'd instead pick Palau, New Caledonia or Pitcairn.

[andreasderjuengere]

Where... I also have my own little jewel around here. And I won't tell where it is :D
It has easy access, is not inhabited, has a comfy cave to sleep in, a little beach for the Missus and me only, and no tourist ever is taken there.

[loveslongnails]

Been to Hawaii several times, Fiji would be ok, but the Seychelles sound most interesting to me.

[RedInnocent68]

Fiji first, Seychelles second. Already been to Hawaii and Maldives. Although, I expect I may make it to Hawaii first (partner)…

[DJB72]

Fiji. Got a friend who went a couple of years ago. Sounds very relaxed

[DancingQueen16]

I've always wanted to go to Hawaii because I hear it's beautiful

[Nikki1989]

Anywhere but Hawaii.

[tanya_s21]
