Planning a dream trip and using my experience in Hawaii (Oahu and Kauai) as a template of sorts since it’s the best trip I’ve done so far.

I loved the lush hiking and spent a lot of time in the water surfing and snorkeling. The food was also a plus!

I’m thinking somewhere in the South Pacific but there’s so much to choose from. Really open to anything as long as it has the items above. Don’t really have a budget but of course affordable locations are always a bonus! Definitely not looking for any type of bustling city though.

Appreciate any recommendations based on your experiences!
