Has anyone been to Hawaii??

So I'm getting bored again and I'm thinking of places I want to visit. I went to Bali a year ago and I'd quite like a holiday similar to that (resorts, beaches, pools etc). It's looking quite expensive and although the hotels seem amazing, I want to know if it's worth it or if there's a cheaper version of Hawaii that people have been to (like an island in the middle of nowhere?). I was also looking at Mauritius and that ranges from $700-$2800 per night which is mental + I don't even know where that is tbh.

So yeah, has anyone been to Hawaii, Mauritius or somewhere similar??

I went to Hawaii in 2004. From what I remember Hawaii was really nice. We stayed in Waikiki beach in Honolulu - though it was nice, for such a long flight I wouldn't say it was that spectacular. I certainly don't remember that WOW feeling, though I had only just hit my teens.

Pearl Harbor was good. I also remember at Waikiki beach I thought the sea would be nice and deep... really nice like.... but it was really rocky underneath. You needed shoes to swim there.

Well me and my dad planned a trip to maritius (wich is a really small island outside africa btw) but we couldn't go as my mothers dad got cancer and we had to stick around. I would reccomend maritius as we did allot of research on it and it have the potential to be one of the greatest holidays ever.

Aw that's unfortunate :( From what i've seen though it looks really nice! The flying time there is just over 8 hours too which is shorter than flying to Hawaii (from Perth, WA). I think a few people I know have also been there too.

I was looking at the Waikiki Beach hotel place earlier actually! It looks very much like a relaxing based place, laid back and very chilled. Hawaii also means I'd have to travel to Sydney to get a connecting flight and that means I can have a look round Sydney too. I'd probably be tempted to visit the US before flying home as it's so close! It's quite a long flight though, 9 hours 45 mins from here.
