> Which island are you staying on? Ava and I are thinking of staying on the big island because she is all about the outdoors and less likely to enjoy the touristy beaches or say still.
We are staying in Honolulu on Oahu. Oahu is a busy island and is the center of Hawaii's business and military.
The big island is a great choice if you want to be more outdoors. So is Kauai. At work, over lunch, we discussed the different Hawaiian islands. We concluded that if you want to hike or camp then Kauai is the best island. Maui and the big island are tied for a close for 2nd.
So much of that judgement depends on specifics. The big island has active volcanoes. For some that's a big attraction. For others it's a reason to stay away.
Maui has the best undeveloped beaches. Big & little Makena beach in particular. Also Black Sand Beach near Hana
The Kauai coast has fewer beaches and more cliffs. It's fun hiking along the cliffs.

We flew in to Oahu but stayed on Kauai when we went to Hawaii, LOVED it and it exceeded all expectations as a legit Paradise and not at all Touristy. I'd like to visit Maui and the Big Island, tho' the Volcanic action would scare me and not be a reason to want to go there. The Man spent more time in Oahu in the Military, when he'd go TDY there for Work and he didn't like it due to how crowded and expensive.
