[quote=Anonymous]Caveat - I prefer isolated beaches, nature areas, snorkeling with sea turtles and hot springs, not shopping, crowds etc. and usually visit many but do not stay at $$  top end resorts. I highly recommend the "Revealed" guides for whatever island you decide on. You can split your trip! It's easy to catch a small plane over and try out two islands on the same trip. One thing for sure, Hawaii does not suck. Even the Wendy's drive thru on Hawaii has an incredible ocean view.
The Big Island has a lot of geographic variety and not the traffic and grunge of Oahu. Kona area is central, has good weather and amenities. There is the high mountain observatory, Merrie Monarch Festival, "champagne pool" and other fresh water springs, black sand beaches, fabulous resorts on north central coast, affordable vacation condos just south of Kona, Cook Bay for kayaking with wild dolphins etc. My favorite spot for snorkel + Body surfing is Puako Beach. 
Maui is also nice, slightly more commercial. I liked Makena area - best beach and snorkeling, my BFF likes the Kaanapali Beach area which is very family friendly. 
My brother lives on the Big island and in his opinion Kauai is the most beautiful island, it is older and has the gorgeous Bali Hai/Na Pali area, more erosion means more interesting mountains. It's drier in Poipu, Princeville is rainy but it has the views to die for, up where Pierce Brosnan lives. [/quote]
