Re: Where To Go In Hawaii?
It's been awhile, probably fifteen years and I'm sure a lot has changed, but like others have suggested going to two islands is nice.
I went to Kauai and the big island. Kaui is amazingly beautiful the napali cliffs are some of the most spectacular scenery you'll ever see. A post suggested hiking the cliffs, which I'm sure is great and the helicopter ride along the cliffs is supposed to be amazing. We went for a boat ride and went snorkeling along the cliffs which was great as well. Kaui also has Waimea (sp) Canyon which is an incredible rain forest. We looked at it from the top of the canyon, but the real ticket is to take the day hike down into the canyon.
As for the big island, as someone suggested, rent a car and make the drive on the highway that circles the island. You'll go through something like 4 or 5 climate zones and it will take you to some of the island's largest volocanos.
I've heard Maui is also amazing. As long as you stay away from the huge tourist areas like Wakeiki, you can't go wrong.
Have fun.
