10 days.... where to go?

We am honeymooning in Hawaii in the middle of November 2008. We want to split our time on 2 islands with one of them definitely being Kauai. Some of the things we want to do are: snorkeling, fishing, hiking, beach, luau, good local restaurants, waterfalls, volcanoes, and sightseeing ...... and I guess some shopping too (or so I am told).

We are debating between Big Island %26amp; Maui at the moment but are open to suggestion!

Looking for some of the best secret locations and restaurants!

We appreciate and advice.

thanks

10 days.... where to go?

I suggest spending some time on O`ahu. It%26#39;s a real contrast to Kaua`i, and there are lots of things to see right in Honolulu. Don%26#39;t miss the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. Also Bishop Museum, Iolani Palace, Chinatown, etc.

If you can, arrange to fly into Honolulu and out of Lihue (Kaua`i).

Maui really has everything you want. Stay in Wailea is you are looking for a little more peace and quiet as compared to Kaanapali.

Aloha Tony! A good rule of thumb is one week per island - just seems to work well and often you get better deals on both car rental and lodging when you book a full week. Just depends on your budget.

I don%26#39;t think you have enough time for BI . . . especially if you want to do two islands. A good mix would be Kauai and Maui or Kauai and Oahu - perhaps a somewhat equal split - or as many suggest, 3 days on Oahu/7 on Kauai . . . or 4 on Maui and 6 on Kauai. Glad you are definite on Kauai - it%26#39;s my favorite island. Make sure you hop over to the Kauai forum when you have the chance. Best wishes on your honeymoon and your planning! :)
