We are looking for some help. We are picking the excursions for our cruise to Hawaii. We are looking for some suggestions of some great places to visit and things to do on the following islands:
1. Big Island of Hawaii 2. Maui 3. Oahu 4. Kauai
We have some things written down that we are interested. If you have done any of these, please give your opinion.
Big Island: Kilauea Volcano tour Glassbottom boat tour
Oahu: USS Arizona Memorial Tour Hawaiian Luau and Polynesian Extravaganza
Maui: Royal Lahaina Luau at Ka'Anapali Resort.
Other questions we have:
1. What is the best Luau to attend? 2. Should we skip the excursions on Maui and Kauai and just get a taxi to the beach?
Thank you in advance for your help!!

Im doing some research on the islands myself and tripadvisor.com has been a big help to me. It has a bunch of info on each island.

Re: Hawaii Honeymooners
I heard the 'Old Lahaina Luau' in Maui is the best but you have to book in advance to get a good seat. It's supposed to be the most authentic. Everyone also says that you definitely need a car rental in Maui

Re: Hawaii Honeymooners
We just picked all our excursions based on family and friends recommendations.
We're on a Norwegian Cruise Line cruise from 11/03 - 11/13 and we chose:
HILO - Volcano National Park & Rainbow Falls Tour
KONA - Kamanu Catamaran Sail & Snorkel
MAUI - Hana Haleakala By Helicopter in the morning and the Kanikapila Sunset Sail at night (we are skipping the Luau in Maui based on FIL's input that there are TONS of kids there and we want to be more secluded and romantic.)
KAUAI - Waimea Canyon & Fern Grotto (this is the one tour everyone we talked to said we must do - apparently this canyon is amazing).
Then we are doing the Napali Beach Getaway, but that's only on NCL and I'm not sure what cruise line you are using.
Hope this helps!!

Thanks for your suggestions Lauren. I know the Princess cruises offer some similar ones. We will keep them in mind.
