You can start off by seeing a travel agent or checking out some packages online. There are a lot of stuff to do in Waikiki, but if you want to really experience Hawaii you will need to venture out. You can go skydiving at Dillingham Airfield on the North Shore, Go surfing in Waikiki. Around June Waikiki is okay to surf. Watch out though, because there are tons of tourist and I have been hit by my fair share of boards out there. Instead of just falling off their board, first time surfers kick and jump off making the board fly like crazy. I usually surf Diamond Head instead, longer paddle, but well worth it. You can also rent boards for 10 bucks an hour right on the beach. The water is shallow and the paddle out is easy. If you are a seasoned surfer then head on down to my side of town on the North Shore. I have a blog that has tons of things on Hawaii like restaurant reviews, where to surf, etc, check it out:

so if you guys are all young and single and want to party then Waiki is the place to be…

all or most of the nite clubs in Waikiki stay open until 4am, and thats every night! And they are all right next to each other!! All within walking distance and with great drink specials…

Plus, the hotels are all there too!!

Then during the day the beach is just a walk away!1

Perfect!!!

Enjoy Hawaii!! And come often!!!

Regarding the surf… in the winter, we have large waves on the north shore. During the summer, the surf is not as high, but the larger swells will be on the south shore.

Buy the plane tickets asap the further out you buy them the cheaper. I would look on hotels.com to find the best rates on hotels and it also gives you feed back on how people that stayed there liked it. There are plenty of good bars you can find I liked the one on top of Ala Moana Center. I mean if you met girls they can shop why you drink!!! Who could ask for more! Do expect to pay and arm and a leg unless you befriend some locals. My dad was charged $20 for a drink until my husband walked up and said he was with him the it was only $5. Its crazy!! You have to go to a luau The best one is at the Polynesian Cultural Center, but you will need to call before you go to make sure they are not sold out. That way you can spend the whole day at PCC then have a wonderful Luau and the night show is the best in the world. Surfing you can do on any beach but I would stay away from the tourist side to get lessons the will over charge you. North shore is not that bad in the summer months but you still have to watch the ripe tides they are bad A**!! I hope that you guys have fun!

I’ve never been to any of these locations.

After reading several reviews on each of these destinations, I concluded St. Lucia — Windjammer hotel has the best honeymoon accommodations, atmosphere, food, service, etc.

Mind you, I did not check out anything in Hawaii because I didn’t have a resort name.

Waikiki!!!
Rent a condo for a week. Look in rental.
Best surf; north shore/Oahu.

As long as it leads to the bedroom…all are very good choices.

I’m not a huge Oahu fan, but Maui is very pretty. And Kauai is even prettier.

Either barbados or Muai hawaii.

Oahu and Maui would be good choices for what you want to do, try tripadvisor.com for finding a reasonable hotel–your airline may have good deals on hotels too, I got a better rate through american airlines for the same hotel I found on expedia, so check several different sites before locking in. Haven’t been to Oahu, but it supposedly has the best surfing.

I think Kauai would suit you. There isn’t much nightlife here, but the views are spectacular! Kauai has Waimea Canyon (Mark Twain nicknamed it “the Grand Canyon of the Pacific”), Hanalei Bay, Kalalau, Bali Hai, Poipu, Polihale, and lots of other fantastic spots to get sun, surf, and sand.

Some things to keep in mind:
*Princeville/Hanalei are the wettest spots on the island. Things are beautiful there and very green, but if it’s raining in one place on Kauai, it’s usually in Princeville or Hanalei.
*Kauai is a very small island but you can’t drive all the way around it. The far west side is dominated by sea cliffs that cannot be accessed by car.
*The south and west sides of the island are the driest and sunniest during most of the year. There are no major towns out that way, however. In fact, the only ‘major’ town would be the county seat, Lihue. That is where the airport is. Kapa’a, on the east side, is a town of decent size (considering it’s Kauai!). You might want to make your home base in either Kapa’a or Lihue if you want to be able to walk or take a short drive to a grocery store or coffee place. Oh, and please don’t go to Starbucks while you’re here! Hawaii has some of the best coffee in the world! Check out Java Kai (Kapa’a and Hanalei) or any of the other local coffee places. Much fresher and better coffee than Starbucks EVER served.
The beaches on Kauai are fantastic! There is plenty of snorkeling here and the boat trips out to the Na Pali coastline (far west side of the island I mentioned earlier) are excellent. You will almost certainly see spinner dolphins on one of those excursions. I have also seen green sea turtles (honu) and Hawaiian monk seals, which are an endangered species. Whale watching season is Dec.-April.

If you do choose Kauai, feel free to email me. I have lived on the island for 3-1/2 years and would love to help you with restaurant, shopping, and sight seeing tips!

for me… dark alley will do great if im with someone i really love. but do punta cana. never heard of that before and hawaii is sooo unoriginal.

You might consider Manele Bay, Lanai if you can afford it. There is one town on Lanai (and one K-12 public school with a few hundred students). I can’t remember a Starbucks, but there are several cozy cafes with good food and coffee in Lanai City, all within walking distance of each other.

Or, you can do your parasailing on Maui, take a ferry or trilogy excursion to Lanai, possibly seeing some whales along the way, if you’re coming between now and the spring. Lanai is a company town, mostly owned by Castle & Cooke, and most of the families there immigrated from the Philippines sometime in the last hundred years.

If you’re fond of jets, you’d be out of luck for flying to either Molokai or Lanai. You can take an Island Air DeHavilland Dasah-8 turbo Prop (about the size of a school bus) or a 9-seater with an outfit like Mokulele or Pacific Wings. The smaller planes are better for taking photographs, but I advise you to wait until after the flight before eating a meal. It can be a visceral experience, and the pilot asks you to take any “aloha bags” you might use with you when you deplane.

The ferry to Lanai is smoother, shorter, cheaper, and drier–especially in winter–than the Molokai Princess. Sometimes a larger boat, the Maui Princess serves as the Molokai Ferry.

What I love about the Hotel Molokai is that when you eat breakfast, lunch or dinner at the patio restaurant by the beach and the small pool, it looks like the only buildings in the world are at the Hotel Molokai! One of topside Molokai’s two remaining bars is also at Hula Shores, but it’s a very mellow scene most of the time, with regulars like Al, Mel, and Larry, and local musicians playing mostly Hawaiian music. Zhan and Jenny do like playing a little bit of country if the rest of their bands will let them.

Molokai Fish and Dive runs snorkel, kayak, and whale-watching expeditions on a regular basis, but parasailing is way too citified for Molokai. Molokai does have the biggest and best coral reefs in the state.

Up the hill in Kualapuu is a coffee plantation with its own coffee shop, a post office in the same building with Shirley’s hair salon and real estate, and an excellent restaurant: the Kualapuu Cookhouse.

It’s BYOB, and Thursday night is always Prime Rib Night. Local folks stop by with grease still on their shirts from work to play ukulele, washtub bass, or slack key guitar. Bruiser might get a chance to come out of the kitchen and sing an Israel Kamakawiwoole song. If you’re lucky, two, three, or even five of the members of Manuwai’s Trio might drop by. It’s good performing experience for the students in the Hawaiian Language Immersion Program.

About 75% of the schoolkids on Molokai have some Native Hawaiian ancestry. Many of the families have enough Hawaiian blood (half or more) to qualify for a Hawaiian Home Lands kuleana. Molokai folks are proud of their ability to live off the land, by farming, hunting, and fishing. It’s a tight community of about 7000 where people share fruit from their trees with each other, and where a school can sell 3000 whole hulihuli chickens in a single day fundraiser!

Many people on Molokai actively campaign against mass tourism like cruise ship stops and rampant residential development to create luxury vacation homes. But they do welcome tourists who arrive in the right spirit. One popular bumper sticker reads, “Don’t try to change Molokai. Let Molokai change you.”

Hawaii is best. Someone in my family has their honeymoon there. they loved it

Keep in mind that you cannot go to Niihau or Kahoolawe.

Haleiwa, on the north shore of Oahu, sounds just like your type of place. it has the surf, the starbucks and everything else. the only problems are the crowds and the bars maybe. theres also another town waaaay down the road called Laie. the majority of the population here is mormon so theres no drinking, drugs or anything like that. theres also a shopping center with a grocery store, some restaurants, there isn’t a starbucks. but theres a great view at temple beach and the temple is BEAUTIFUL at night. hukilau beach is great for surfing and parasailing. the crowds aren’t too bad but theres a college(BYUH) so there are college students walking around. thats about it but its not cheap.

Cattle on St Thomas? There’s barely room on the island for people… there’s no cattle roaming freely on the streets of St Thomas…

There are reptiles, yes… specifically iguanas. And they’re huge! And of course smaller lizards… they eat mosquitoes and are harmless. But Hawaii has bugs… lots of ‘em I’ve been told and weird ones. For me it’s a draw.

If you’re staying at a Marriott timeshare (lucky you)… and you live on the East coast I would go for Aruba, St Kitts and St Thomas… in that order. Personally, I would really love to go stay at Frenchmen’s Reef… their beach is amazing! But Aruba is more “exotic” to me since it’s Dutch.

If you’re closer to the West coast, go to Hawaii. Don’t bother wasting all that time to go to the Caribbean unless you’ve already been to Hawaii.

Kaui sounds like your best bet.

Going to Hawaii is actually pretty expensive especially if you live in the mid west or east coast (think extra cost for airfare for starters). i hear that from two couples I know that have gone that they were disapointed in Hawaii. They could have spent half that money in Cancun and had a way better time.
I would go to the Carribran!!!!

Kauai may be less crowded even Molokai, even less crowded/
