14. Best way to travel around Oahu, and the other islands.

I have lived on the Big Island (Kona side) and currently live on Kauai, so I think I should be able to help you with some of these!
1) Depends on what you want to do. Ideally, a week on each island. If that isn’t do-able, how about 3-4 days on each island?
2) On Oahu go to Waikiki Beach and take a catamaran ride. See the Pali (cliffs) and go to the North Shore for the beaches and shave ice. Climb Diamond Head! On the Big Island I would stay in Kona (drier than Hilo side) or maybe at a B&B in Volcano Village. On Kauai, Poipu is sunny and dry most of the year but very pretty.
3) Island hopping is easy on Hawaiian Airlines, Aloha Airlines, and Go! Airlines. Right now tickets are about $39 per person, each way.
4) There is a DolphinQuest program at the Hilton Waikoloa on the Big Island and also on Oahu (possibly at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but I’m not sure). Please don’t try to find dolphins on your own and swim with them in the wild as it’s illegal and dangerous for the dolpins. DolphinQuest is booked up months in advance, so check them out now if you really want to do this.
5) Shallow snorkeling is good at Two Step at the Place of Refuge on the Big Island. You can also snorkel at Hanauma Bay on Oahu but I have had mixed results there. Some days are good, others are terrible. Lots of snorkeling on Kauai! You will probably see fish at whatever beaches you go to on any of the islands.
6) Bubba Gump’s sucks in my opinion. They’re a chain and can be found on the mainland. Why not eat some good local food or try a locally owned restaurant that serves food you can’t get at home?
7) There is a company here called Kauai Movie Tours. I have never used them but they’re supposed to be pretty good if that’s what you’re into. Personally I would rather do the zipline tour or the innertube ride down the old sugar cane irrigation ditch — both on Kauai. Check out www.kauaibackcountry.com for more information. (No, I don’t work for them! I have done both of these activities are they’re really fun.)
The best way to see the current eruption is to drive down Chain of Craters Road in Volcanoes National Park and walk out to the flowing lava yourself! I have done this; it’s great. You should call VNP ahead of time to check if the flow is above ground while you’re there.
9) March can be rainy but the average year round temperature is still between 78-80 degrees F, so you can plan your wardrobe that way. A light rain jacket would probably be enough in terms of covering yourself from the elements.
10) Hawaii doesn’t participate in Daylight Savings Time, so sunsets are pretty consistent. Between 6:30-7:30 every night is a safe estimate.
11) Yes, shops are open on the weekend. Once in a while you will find a restaurant or shop that is closed on Sunday on Kauai, but I don’t find that to be the case on Oahu.
12) There are plenty of ATMs on all of the islands. Be careful about fees: some places charge $2.50+your bank’s charge to withdraw money!
13) The best hotel in Waikiki is also the most romantic: The Royal Hawaiian. www.royal-hawaiian.com. It’s one of the first hotels built in Waikiki and everything about it is beautiful. The Mai Tai bar there is a great place to watch the sunset and enjoy a cocktail. Live music and hula nightly, too!
14) You will definitely need to rent a car on the Big Island and Kauai if you want to do any sightseeing. If you don’t plan to do much on Oahu except hang out in Waikiki (which is what I do when I visit), you won’t need a car there. Taxis from the airport are about $20 each way to and from your hotel, so no big deal. You can walk anywhere in Waikiki. If you do want to drive around the island and see the North Shore, etc., you can get a car for one day. Parking prices at the Waikiki hotels are outrageous and you may find that you don’t use the car that much when you’re on Oahu.

Have a great wedding!
Aloha.
