If you want to see active volcano it'll have to be the big island. Maui has
a dormant volcano. The other island I can recommend is definitely Kauai. "Todd H." wrote in message ... Greetings, I'm looking for some recommendations to narrow down plans on a 2-stop itinerary, 2 hotels, and dive operators for a trip we're pondering Hawaii in March for a 2 week stay. At this point, I'm not even sure the best place to fly into! From what I've read and investigated, about all I have it narrowed down to is "you'll really like Maui" "skip Honoloulou-you've got enough of that big city crap in Chicago," and I think we'd enjoy staying week 1 and week 2 in different places, and above all else this trip should be relaxing. We're both early 30-somethings, and pretty active. We've been to the Carribbean and Thailand in the past. Having the beach or water close at hand for snorkeling is a priority, and we will be looking to dive oh... say, 4 or 5 days over the course of our 2 weeks. I've got about 25 dives under my belt over the past 7 years and my SO was certified last year, so we won't be looking for adrenaline filled diving or anything. :-) Our last vacation was way overpacked on a go go go itinerary, so the m.o. for this trip is "relaxing." For me that involves planting my hiney near a large body of water in the sun, snorkeling, and some diving. If there's beach volleyball to be had that's a pleasant bonus. I wanna see the volcanoes, maybe some kayaking, maybe rent a car and drive around the island. And I think I'd like to pick up camp and move only once during the stay (so, I guess i'm looking for 2 hotels, one in Maui somewhere, and one on another island..unless inter-island transport is too much of a pain). We don't have money to burn by any stretch, but I'm also willing to pay to be in a place that's clean and not run down. I've got a mental idea of wanting to stay under $225 a night but I've also not looked enough to whether that's terribly realistic. I'd welcome any recommendations to narrow it down some! Thanks for any experiences you can share! Best Regards, -- Todd H. http://www.toddh.net/ To reply by email replace _invalid_ with tdh |
