Finding the 7 Treasure Chests in Wii: Go Vacation

Chest locations vary by island and are randomized per save file in some cases, so static coordinates don't exist. The fun lies in the hunt, but here is how to find them efficiently.

In‑Game Tools

• Island Maps: Open the map (press 1 on Wii Remote). Chests appear as gold chest icons once you are near their general quadrant.
• Photo Hints: Some chests are revealed by taking a photo of a specific landmark (check the "Photo Album" requests).
• NPC Rumors: Talk to villagers; they sometimes hint at "shiny things" near landmarks (waterfalls, ruins, mountain peaks).

Search Strategy by Island

• Marine Resort: Check the lighthouse, underwater ruins (dive), and mountain summit.
• City Resort: Rooftops, construction site, sewers, and the clock tower.
• Mountain Resort: Cave entrances, ski lift tops, hot springs area.
• Snow Resort: Ice caves, gondola stations, hidden paths behind waterfalls.

Pro Tips

• Use the Dog companion (unlocked via minigames); it barks near hidden items.
• Drive the ATV or Snowmobile to cover ground fast.
• If a chest icon appears on the map but you can't reach it, look for a hidden path, climbable vine, or dive spot nearby.
