I love Hawaii and have been there a few times - Honolulu twice, Maui twice (once to get married

), Kauai and the Big Island.

I would not recommend visiting two islands within one week - there are too many things to see/do on each island that seeing two would be difficult. Last year, DH and I did this and went to Waikiki for 2 days (because DH had never been there) and Kauai for 5 days and we probably won't do this again.

Every island is unique and has something special to offer. Waikiki has all the touristy things - shopping, shopping, shopping. Hike up Diamond Head (the view at the top is worth it!) or drive to the North Shore to see the surfers or go see Pearl Harbor...

My favourite islands are Maui (since we were married there) and Kauai (simply beautiful and a lot quieter than either Honolulu or Maui). We took an ATV tour in Kauai and saw where they filmed some scenes for the movie Jurassic Park - stunning scenery.
