So I am planning a week in Hawaii.
I have been to Maui a long time ago, and have been to Oahu a few times more recently.
I am debating on how to plan out my week in Hawaii. I am thinking of renting a hotel for an entire week in Waikiki (Oahu) - so as not to have to worry about check in/check out, and carrying all my luggage with me when island hopping, and then taking 2 days out of the week to fly to Kaui & Maui.
My days are Monday through Sunday, so I'm thinking arrive / enjoy Wakiki Monday - Tuesday, Wednesday morning fly out to Kaui, Wednesday night fly to Maui, Thursday all day enjoy Maui, Thursday night fly back to Oahu / Waikiki. If there are better days to fly to Kaui / Maui please let me know.
Of the 2 days, in the morning of day 1, I would fly out to Kaui, rent a car, and drive to the beaches of Kaui to check out the island since I've never been there.
On the evening of day 1 to Kaui, I would fly to Maui, spend the night in Maui, and then drive around the island checking out the beaches on Maui. On that evening then I would fly back to Oahu and enjoy Waikiki some more.
Is this a do-able plan, or is it unrealistic?
Not having been to Kaui I don't know if I should just hit the best beaches. On Maui I may just go to the Grand Wailea area since that is my favorite area where I stayed previously, but I'd be open to other feedback on where to go in Maui.
I wish I could plan a 2 week trip so I can properly hit all 3 islands, but I only have 1 week to spend in Hawaii...
