I've always wanted to avoid the crowds. I've always wanted to avoid cruise ship destinations, and I've always wanted to have an experience where I'm learning something new. Cannon's family has traveled to 30 countries over the past 19 years, choosing hidden gems that keep the kids active and interested.
Hawaii gets so much hype, and I think Hawaii's beautiful, don't get me wrong. But I think there are other options that are more affordable. In Mo'orea, you can get an Airbnb very affordably. I found a place for about $80 a night. It has great food, beautiful beaches, hikes, snorkeling and water activities.
When people talk about French Polynesia, it's always about overwater bungalows on Bora Bora - these extremely beautiful but astronomically expensive villas. Cannon emphasizes that Mo'orea offers similar beauty without the price tag, making it a perfect alternative for families looking to travel on a budget.
Costa Rica obviously has been at the forefront of adventure tourism, but Panama is a lesser-visited alternative. Cannon's family seeks destinations that offer enriching experiences and lesser crowds, making Panama a viable option for adventure while avoiding the tourist traps Costa Rica is known for.
