A friend and I are trying to plan a trip to Hawaii anywhere between the end of August, and mid-October. I have never been to Hawaii so I don't know a whole lot about the individual islands or their appeal.
After a little bit of research, it's looking like Kauai would be most appealing to us, but again, I haven't looked around too much. We want something that will be relaxing and less crowded, but still have access to some of the cool things to do like hiking, para-sailing, etc.

I went last year and stayed in Kailua on Oahu. We stayed at a friend house, I think its mostly residential in that area though. It was absolutely beautiful and quiet on that side of the island. You can rent a car and still be able to go to Honalulu, which is much more crowded but lot's of touristy things to do. If renting a car, GPS is a must. Just driving around the coast provided some of the best views you can imagine.
I went skydiving in Mokeliua at the north side of the island and that was amazing. You can always take a quick flight to any of the other islands. And I'm pretty sure the activities you mentioned are available on all of the islands.
Everything is expensive so have lot's of money... Unless you just want to lay on the beach all day, which is always wonderful.

we'll be doing a lot of laying on the beach! i'm actually really fortunate to have good friends. the friend's family has quite a bit of money, and she also has a great job. she's offered to pay for airfare/hotel for me to go with her. so for me most of my expenses will be just the fun stuff.

I went a few years ago to Waikiki Beach, on Oahu. It had some excellent beaches and plenty of things to do, but holy god it's a mecca for tourists. So if you're looking to avoid crowds I'd steer clear of that place. Although I went in the middle of the summer, so it might be less crowded in mid-October

i think we might head to maui. kauai looks like paradise, but kitten, you were right about the night life. we're two single gals, so i know we'll want to go out sometimes. the upside is that renting a condo right on the beach is super cheap. i think we're looking at kanapali beach right now.

I'm so jealous. I was born in Hawaii, but we moved when I was very young. I don't remember anything except for riding my big wheel on the day we moved.
