# Pacific Islands with a baby Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
StickyMangoRice 21:08 UTC 07 Jul 2019 | Hi, im planning a trip to one of pacific islands for October, but I'm having difficulty deciding which one. We have 10 days to spend, and are looking at a midrange budget. We are considering either Vanuatu or New Caledonia because they're relatively close to Australia. We also have an 8 month old baby. We dont want to spend the whole time on the beach, and we're looking for easy day trips and sights to explore. Has anyone travelled to either of these places with a baby, and do you have any advice/recommendations? Thanks!! |
