Which islands for amazing honeymoon?

My fiancee and I are getting married on Oahu in March 2009. He hasn%26#39;t been to Hawaii before, but I have been to Oahu many times.

After a week in Oahu leading up to our wedding, we have an additional 2 weeks for our honeymoon and would like to visit some of the outer islands.

I love a good pool, he loves a good beach. We both like nice food but don%26#39;t necessarily want to go to a five star restaurant each night.

We would like a balance between being able to relax and have some things to see and do if we choose.

What would you recommend?

We can help more if you give us a budget. (Remember too, %26#39;hops%26#39; are running $100 pp one way.)

Sounds like Maui would be the perfect fit for what you just mentioned. :)

Sue%26#39;s right - an nightly accomodations budget would be a big help.

Also - pick up a good travel guide - Hawaii for Dummies or another book that focuses on the islands themselves (not a bunch of hotel/restaurant filler). And get a good map.

With 2 additional weeks - Maui, Kauai and/or the Big Island are good candidates. You could also spend some time on Lanai.

Let us know what you like to do -- seclusion, water sports, shopping, restaurants? natural wonders?

With the exception of Oahu and Lanai ... you will need a car on the other islands.

Of the 6 islands you can stay you will no doubt hear how each is the best to go to...

consider weather Oahu and Kauai can be very wet in March

Maui is the most up-scale and resort oriented.... with the best beaches

Big Island Kohala coast is wild and has the fantastic Kona Village Resort.....total the best atmosphere in Hawaii.... top class food Island has few beaches, is HUGE, and rural....totaly different from Oahu and Maui

Read Hawaii for Dummies

Thanks everyone.

I guess we were thinking of some type of combination of accommodation i.e. a mixture of resort stays and condo rentals...

We%26#39;re not into any particular sports, water activities or anything like that so it wouldn%26#39;t be a factor. We just want to relax, spend time by the ocean, see some natural sights...

We%26#39;re thinking of staying for 2-3 nights at 4S Manele Bay at the end of our trip but that would be a real treat i.e. we wouldn%26#39;t be spending that much for the rest of our trip!

Don%26#39;t hop around too much. Island hopping (plane) will take at least 1/2 day. The flights are short, but the whole process takes time. And it is expensive. And packing and unpacking is aggravating (I think!).
