Planning vacation days in Hawaii...?

Don't island hop anymore than you already are. Maui and Oahu are plenty! There is enough to see and do on both islands to not get bored or feel like you need to go somewhere else. Personally, I would choose Oahu and Kauai or Oahu and the Big Island, but that's just me. Lots of people love Maui -- it's just not my favorite island.

Kauai is a place for kicking back, you don't want to get settle in and then the next day or two pack up and leave. Besides, you'll get enough kicking back on Maui. The only reason I see for going to Kauai after Maui is to hike or paddle/kayak the Na Pali Coast. You'd be going from relaxed in Maui to even more relaxed on Kauai. The Big Island is too big for 2 days. Unless you absolutely want to see Kilauea Volcano.

If you're manic, or are used to moving around a lot (if you've back packed Europe for 3 months you'll know what I mean), then why not? But, it's a pain and a hassle to pack, go to the airport, fly, pick up your check in bags, get your rent a car, check in to the hotel, un pack. this could take up 4-6 hours of your day easily, do you want that? You're on vacation, settle in and relax. You might find 4 days is not enough for Oahu.

The combinations Maui-Kauai or Maui-Big Island won't give you much variety. The combination Maui-Oahu will.

I live on the big island, and I am partial to it, but bouncing back and forth, and dealing with settling in and renting a car in two days is rough. I would stay the four days on Oahu. However, you could always stay four days on Big island! Told you I was partial. Anyway hope you enjoy your vacation. Aloha

Kauai is the most scenic island. The north shore is some of the coolest land on earth, think of lush jungle like terrain, hikes into secluded waterfalls. South shore , Poipu beach, is more popular, but head north.

Oahu is personlly i think i really good island to go to. its has waikiki (honolulu) and lots of different spots you can go to if you just check it out on the internet if you want

they have the zoo, surf lessons, surf spots, awsome hotels, lots of good eating places! big parks. and boats rides and i think there brochure on the ilsland where it says like shark diving or scuba diving, they also have an aquarium, and rainbows and lots of acitivities and they have a really awsome mall!!!!! its like 4 rows high its really cool. and then they have the big tree square market! the markets really cool lots of interesting trinckets!

and all that is in honolulu on oahu

and yeah those things are all in waikiki
