Im traveling to Hawaii and I am finding there is so much to do, any recommendations for my itinerary?|154279

I want the Hawain experiance and relaxation. I_ll be there for 7 days.

If you are looking for a laid back atmosphere then Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island is your destination. If you are looking for some city life then Oahu is what you are looking at for your final destination. Oahu has the country and a lot more city life for the shopping, restaurants and such. The country can be found on the North Shore and East Shore. So if you are trying to get away from it all then Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island is where you should going. If you are looking for a slice of the city also then make it Oahu.

There is plenty to do from the beaches, hikes, and just relaxing.

Just another local....

Snorkeling on the Big Island! It was one of my favorite memories from my Hawaiian trip! There is a big cove on the island and you can hang out on the beach all day. I think the snorkel rental is like $4.
I also swam with the dophins, which was awesome, but it ended up being about $100 per person for all of 5 minutes of time in the water.

I_ve only been on the island of Kauai. You have to see Waimea Canyon. Mark Twain described it as the grand canyon of the Pacific. Also Hanalei Bay where Puff the Magic Dragon is. We also took a helicopter flight and went horseback riding, both centered around the Northern end near Princeville. And the Napali Coast, the wettest place on the planet. Says so on the sign.

Maui is more relaxing than Honolulu. Hon. is more touristy. Although Pearl Harbor was good if you like history. Take the road to Hana (sp?). It was amazing!! You_ll see so much that you_ll never forget. Just drive careful, b/c it_s a dangerous road if you_re not paying attention. Bring a swimsuit and towel wherever you go. See the mountains, not just the beaches.
