Message: [QUOTE="NJHusky, post: 4012491, member: 114"] I'll add my .02 Second the opinions above that if you only want to do one island, do Maui and to rent convertible/jeep. I would suggest the first few days to just decompress....before you start exploring, if that is your pref. Since I didn't know when we would be back, we chose to island hop. A lot depends on your interests...we like to explore and be active...even on the honeymoon. We started on the big island, as its quiet and only major tourist site is the volcano...on the other side of the island. Island is easily driveable in one day. We spent one night in the rain forest near volcano which was fun. If you want to limit your stops, I would skip the big island..especially since there hasn't been any surface volcanic activity recently. Maui has the most variety. As someone told me, it's a microcosm of all the other islands. It was a while ago but we stayed at the 4 Seasons and really enjoyed it as it was a bit more isolated, but a short drive to Lahina and things to do From Icculus' pro tip...1) Definitely see the sunrise atop Haleakala. For a post-sunrise bonus, hit Grandma's Coffee House for a delicious breakfast. (I used to go there all the time when I lived in Kula).. Our modifed tourist tip...we didn't want to get up stupid early so we did the sunset on the mountain...still awesome. I think Kauai is the prettiest/most natural...we did lots of hikes and snorkeling and really enjoyed it. For us, Oahu was strictly Arizona Memorial and flight home. Not a fan of Waikiki at all...nothing but shopping when we were there. I think the North Shore big surf season starts in Nov, so you might see some big surfers in Oct. Although it's some may think a Hawaiian honeymoon is pedestrian, we REALLY enjoyed it (even though it wasn't our first choice)...and will go back for some milestone anniversary Congrats and enjoy your trip!
