Ok have finally decided to go to N.Y and Hawaii for our honey moon in august this year, however I know Hawaii is made up of several islands think will only have time for one. So which one?!! Want GREAT beaches, nice white sand. Dont want to be packed in like a sardine there so somewhere that offers some quieter nice beaches too. Would like to have a few excursions, bit of night life so not just beach only. Can you reccomend where to go then???
Also is there alot of rain in august in hawaii and is it expensive?
thanks!

If you have at least a week or more... I would suggest taking in two Island,Oahu and Maui. Stay 4 nights in Honolulu (Oahu) and 3 nights Maui or vice versa.
In short, O'ahu is one-stop Hawai'i -- all the allure of the Islands in a chop-suey mix that has you kayaking around offshore islets by day and sitting in a jazz club 'round midnight, all without ever having to take another flight or repack your suitcase.
It has more museums, staffed historic sites, and walking tours than any other island. And only here do a wealth of renovated buildings and well-preserved neighborhoods so clearly spin the story of Hawai'i history. It's the only place to experience islan[d-style urbanity, since there are no other true cities in the state. And yet you can get as lost in the rural landscape and be as laid-back as you wish
Maui (Ka'anapali) is the best, the most, the top of the heap. To those who know the island well, there's good reason for the superlatives. The second-largest in the Hawaiian chain, the Valley Isle has made a name for itself with its tropical allure, arts and cultural activities, and miles of perfect-tan beaches. Popularity and success have led to some modern-day problems: too many cars, for example. Still, from the chilly heights of Haleakala to the below-sea-level taro beds of Ke'anae Peninsula, Maui continues to weave a spell over the more than 2 million people who visit its shores each year. Pursuits range from hiking in a crater to swimming under a waterfall to diving with sea turtles. This is without question the most diversified island, recommended for a family or group with divergent interests.
For Vacation packages go to your Local Travel Agent and ask for brochures by Pleasat Hawaiian or Thompson Vacation Hawaii vacation packages. Good luck and have a great and enjoyable HONEYMOON.

In the late 1980's we went to Oahu. It was a great place to go and I would recommend it. Waikki Beach is great and Honolulu is a nice city to walk around. Everyone is very friendly and if you like pineapples you're in luck as the Hawaii Islands produce 90% of the worlds supply of them. In fact some places were giving them away for free. Sadly I don't like the stuff.
There are 3 extinct volcanoes to visit. One of which is now a graveyard, another is unused and the other is now a tropical bay where the wall collapsed and the sea came in. I would say this worth a day's visit.
There's quite a lot to see and do so you'll have lots of fun.
Enjoy.

I went to Oahu when I was there. It has Waikiki there and everything. I also got to go to Pearl Harbour and stuff. I had friends there, so I got to see the less touristy side of things, but I'm sure you'll have fun anyway. I don't think it rains a lot there. I went in June, and it was lovely. Enjoy your honeymoon, and congrats on the wedding!

went 2 years ago to waikiki ,i would,nt recommend ,it but north of the island is really beautiful if you can get accommodation up there,people told me that big island was nicer and not so commercialised as oahu its not very expensive your pound buys 2 dollars near enough.new york is the best though its magic,san francisco is a big disappointment
