Whats the most beautiful tropical island?
Hawaii, i can't remember exactly the name, but everything in Hawaii is just beautifully stunning.
Mannn... go on Google and check Mauritius you'll see the difference between Mauritius and
Maldives, Rodrigues, Seychelles, Diego Garcia......... you'll all know what's beauty
I think Seychelles is beautiful, but I don't think anything can compare to Moorea or Bora Bora in the French Polynesia. I have never been, but looking at the pictures literally makes me upset to live on the mainland! If anyone has time, look at the pictures of these islands; and what makes them even greater is that it is said that more people visit Hawaii in ten days than they visit Bora Bora/Moorea in a whole year!!! I guess it's so expensive to get there....
don't forget rarotonga and aitutaki of the cook islands and upolu island Samoa/ Tonga islands/ viti levu island Fiji/ pohnpei island micronesia look at pictures on Google of these islands and it's the same look, palm trees white beaches and mountains lagoons. hotel resorts are less expensive then bora bora and moorea and Hawaii and there as beautiful you wont regret going on these islands there pure paradise and 2 more inlands chuuk island micronesia and tutuila island American Samoa there's 5 islands in American Samoa look all of them.
