September is cheap. The hotel I wanted to book went from say 500/night to 700/night if we were to book in October.

Settling on Kauai either last week of October or first week of November at the Sheraton in popui. Are current conditions still decent then for snorkeling or is it to rough by then?
Stayed at that exact hotel for about 5 days in November. The snorkeling was doable but nothing compared to Maui. If you are on a pussy getting trip you may find it over isolated.

Pussy is coming with me so that's not a factor.
Main thing I'm interested in is swimming and snorkeling, and maybe hiking. Don't give a damn at all about night life or bars.
Was thinking kauai since it seems like it would be less packed. Get a sunset handy asking the beach.

Kauai is def solid for hiking. Actual sand Beaches are limited so handy space may be limited, check it out on Google Earth.
If you're on a primary snorkeling mission then maui is a must imo. It was like strolling in an aquarium.

Always skip Oahu, its a shithole. Maui is alright, Kauai is my first choice. Only downside is during the fall it rains A LOT. certain sections of the island used to be the wettest spot on earth before Obama created global warming. I really like the Big Island, especially the higher elevation places near Kilauea Volcano. Going to see the lava flows is a must do once in your lifetime, that shit is fucking surreal.

Geologically the Big Island is too young to have a much beach, it hasnt had time to grow reef and be broken down to form sandy beaches. Some of the coastline is zero days old.
Our helicopter tour got rained out there, prob would have been life changing...never even saw any lava damnit.

If you are on Oahu and not afraid of the run down parts go to Alicia's Market and buy any 3 of the 25 kinds Poke and some Roast Pork or Char Siu. Totally worth the slim chance you will get stabbed.

Oh, that's out on Sand Island. I haven't been there since I picked my car up from the Matson shipping terminal. It's 12:30pm now, so I'll just go tomorrow for lunch.
Yelp makes it very promising. - Alicia’s Market - Kalihi - Honolulu, HI

Contemplating staying at a cheaper hotel on kauai just to fit one into the budget for a view of na Pali.
Though taking a you snorkel tour to that barely sunken crater off of maui is tempting.
We did catamaran & snorkeling along na pali and I'd trade about 10 of those for 1 heli ride. I didn't know about the crater deal though that sounds cool. We did the catamaran first so I think it helped scale since you recognize some of the same landmarks.
The Sheraton was decent but our oceanview room was bullshit and we had to walk across the road and through the resort to get to the beach. I'm pretty confident you could find a better setup with some legwork. We did our whole 2 weeks through a travel agent because the planning seemed like a major undertaking.
