What is the best island to visit in Hawaii, as far as beaches, scenery, etc?

Niyah L asked:


We are planning a vacation to Hawaii this summer and are considering a few different places: Maui, Hilo, Honolulu or Oahu. I am also open to suggestions. I would like answers from people who have been there and know from experience. Thanks!

    I think Kauai is the best. It is called the garden island and is very beautiful.
    I would also add Honolulu to your trip. A stop there for shopping and the tourist places, then on to Kauai to relax and enjoy nature.

    I really like Maui… we went and stayed in Lahina, it was beautiful! And so many places are within driving distance… we went to the Garden of Eden, it was sooooo beautiful! So many beaches and rain forest on this island.

    I’ve heard Kauai is great too, but Maui is a bit more tourist-y (but not as bad as the big island).

    Really hard to say. A lot has to do with what you’re looking to do.
    Oahu – beautiful… lots of tourists…lots to do… ie, Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay, Waimea, North Shore, Pineapple plantation, Diamond head, Polynesian Cultural Center, etc… lot’s of shopping too. (Honolulu is on the island of Oahu.)

    Maui – beautiful… still tourists… shoping, Mt. Haleakala, Lahaina, beaches, more relaxed feeling than Oahu.

    Hawaii (Big Island)… Volcanos National park. beaches etc.

    If this is your first trip to the Islands I would probably recommend Oahu first. It would be the best way to learn the culture and get your feet wet. Lot’s to do, good food, and lots of vacation rentals on the Island. I prefer these over the busy hotel areas of Waikiki and Honolulu.

    Hope this helps! Need more info, let me know!
