Hawaii vs Costa Rica

Hello hello,

Me and my housemate are staying in New Jersey and were planning a trip to Hawaii or Costa rica. We are two students who are going for a week in August of this year and wanted to see if anyone had any travel experiences or wanted to chime in to see if either one suited us better. We've done some saving are looking for a balanced trip with lots of tanning and relaxing but also a lot of hiking and wildlife.

Our current pros and cons:

Costa rica pros- amazing experiences you can't get elsewhere, amazing wildlife and nature.

Costa rica cons - Travelling from place to place (and the planning this requires) would be relly stressful considering we've never done a trip like this before, and we would have to buy extra things for the monsoon weather. Expensive

Hawaii pros - looks really cool, good wildlife, easier communication

Hawaii cons - Further away to fly, aren't sure of what things are available. Also Expensive

Any thoughts? Anywhere else you guys would recommend?
