I am planning a trip to Hawaii and I am trying to decide if I should go to Kauai or Maui when I island hop from Oahu. I am in upper20's and looking for a place with nice scenery, relaxation, and fun activities. Can anyone help me decide!!!

Kauai - The most beautiful place in the world. Quiet, laid-back. Seemed more "traditional". Water seemed warmer.
Maui - More built up (but NOT over-commercialized). More shopping and dining in confined area. Beaches seemed more crowded.
Stayed at the Marriott both places. Kauai was a nicer resort.
Luau was good on Maui.
Depending on the amount of time - I would stay at more than one island but if I could only go to 1 -Kauai.
I am jealous!

Kauai is very beautiful but I think there would be more for you to do in Maui. Maui is my favourite island, and I think that Kaanapali would be a good place for you to stay for your age group a short distance from Lahaina. You have the beautiful scenery you want plus a lot of things to see and do as mentioned above.

I would suggest Kauai because that island has more nature. You can do more hiking, the pace of life is slower and many of the businesses close around 7:00 pm or 8:00 pm. Maui is nice but I heard if you like a lot of sports and adventure that is the island to go to. My wife and I went to Kauai and loved it. You can relax on so many different beaches and the scenery is amazing. You want to check out the Napali Coast and Waimea Canyon if you go to Kauai.

MAUI!!!! by far. Do the bike ride down Haleakala. My bride and I did it twice.
Hana, you have to do the road to Hana and spend the night in Hana. Get a CD in Paie town, tour the town first, stop at Mama's Fish House for lunch, dinner cost a lot. Start your tour, you'll find a lot of good places in Hana. The Hana Maui is very pricey. Once on the Hana side stop at the Seven Sacred Pools and Lindbergh's grave site.
Don't fear you can drive any car around the island. We've done it four times.You'll end up in Up-Country. Not bad, very good views.
I like Kihei stay at the Kamaole Sands.
Everyone has to see Lahina once, very touristy. You'll love the town down by the water front, matter of fact it's Front Street.
If you scuba dive you have to dive Lanai and the sites there, use the Maui Express Boat vendor you can find them on line and get a cheaper price vs. a dive shop. For Molikini use J. Robinson.
If this is your first trip and you decide on Maui. Make sure you do the Old Lahina Town Lua. You have to make reservations a couple of months in advance. They are on-line. You will not be disappointed.
There is a lot to see on any of the islands. So at the Airport pick-up a Maui Gold Guide it will help you a lot. Aloha and Ma-halo

Maui is fun, but most of the island is old folks, we were at Waialea area. Go to Lahaina in Maui to find the 20s crowd, those nights were fun.
Road to Hana is a tourist trap. Only liked the waterfall at the beginning and the black sand beach, all else was a waste of time and an accident waiting to happen.
Go snorkeling and kayaking. Bring a wintercoat to go see the sunrise on the volcano one morning.

Maui!
When My Clients want to go to Hawaii, they always seem to want Maui.
It's the best Island of the Hawaii Islands.
Have never had any bad feedback on Maui either.
