Bahamas (Grand Bahama and Bimini)
Florida Keys - From Key Largo to Key West
Palau
Fiji - Just the Western Part
French Polynesia (Bora Bora, Rangirora, Fakarava)
Australia - Sydney, Melbourne, Cairns
Taiwan
Maldives

We talking tropical and you've never been to Hawaii? It's worth going at least once.

TheNewGirl 03-14-2011 12:55 PM

I Hawaii still worth it? I've heard it's way too expensive now and not nearly as nice as it once was?

What Islands are best?

MoBettah 03-14-2011 01:14 PM

This guy has been to the Maldives. I don't think expensive is an issue.

Theres no place in the world quite like Hawaii. I suggest Honolulu on Oahu, then Kona on the Big Island.

Amaru 03-15-2011 11:24 AM

Maui. End of story.

Been there, it's ok. It's nice, but nothing really to do except suntan, which gets pretty boring. Scuba diving isn't good there either, not much to see. The other islands have more things going on.

I've been every Hawaiian island. I prefer Big Island as there's more to do. Kaui has the best scenery imo. Maui is full of mostly old retired Vancouverites, but kayaking during whale season is cool there.

It's on my list. But i've heard it's way over rated. Planning for Galapogas, as diving there is like Mount Everest for divers.

Browny 03-18-2011 12:59 PM

your talking best tropical islands and people mention Hawaii???? you people r crazy.

You really cant compare any places of Hawaii vrs some of the worlds most amazing places.

Australia - WhitSundays (Day Dream Island)
Caribbean - Try Great Exuma area. Costly but amazing area. Depends what type of holiday your looking and budget. Sandals Royal.... resort is amazing with its own private island.

Greece - Any of the greek islands is amazing and worth the $$$$
Bali - dirty hole thats over rated :p

People pick hawaii cuz they've never been anywhere else. It is the easiest one to get to since there's direct flights. But nothing special after you been there.

latina 03-28-2011 07:56 PM

have you thought of St. Martin...its beautiful there....

Girl 04-05-2011 08:54 AM

Was going to say French Polynesian Islands, but see that you've been there.

Greek Isles, Cook Islands, Curacao

rslater 04-09-2011 01:36 PM

Andaman Islands, India
South west coast line, Sri Lanka

Coco Cay, Bahamas

That's crap, IMO. I've been to a decent number of tropical vacation destinations (California, Florida keys, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, St Maarten, St Lucia, St Thomas, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, St Kitts, Antigua, Barbados, east coast of Australia, French Riveria, Balearic islands, Greek islands, Italian riveria, Croatia/Dalmatian coast) and Maui is probably still one of my favorites. Pristine beaches, good watersports, good resorts, excellent flight options, great infrastructure, etc.... it's tough to beat. IMO the only real knock on Hawaii (and particularly Maui) is that it's extremely touristy and quite expensive, but that doesn't make the beaches any less spectacular.

To the OP -- sorry for bringing this up long after your initial question -- but have you considered the Dutch ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao)? I've never been, unfortunately, but I'm told the beaches in Aruba are spectacular and the diving in Bonaire is apparently the best in the Caribbean.
