Honeymoon Campervan Vacation on Kauai or Maui?
We are planning our honeymoon to hawaii for around april this year for around ten days. We fly into Oahu then were planning on staying just a couple days there before heading over to Maui or possibly kuaui? Have any suggestions on which one would best suit honeymooners? We love to explore and though it might be fun to rent a campervan for a few days…and travel around the island? How long do think it would take to drive around the entire island? Also do you think it is possible to do all these three islands in ten days or should we stick to just two?
Well, I can answer this one easily 
because as far as I know Kauai doesn’t have any campervan rentals available on the island. So you should go to Maui. And Maui is lovely, you will love it.
How long it will take you will depend on how often you stop and play. You could do it in a day if you just drove - of course you can’t completely circle either of these islands. On Maui, the road ends in Hana, and on Kauai, the road ends at the Na Pali Coast.
Honestly, I always recommend no more than two islands on any vacation around a week in length - otherwise there is just too much standing in airports and packing and unpacking and renting and returning for me. However, you’ll need to decide if you will kick yourself or not for just doing two islands. That’s a very personal decision.
Congrats, and have a great vacation - and check out my digital guide books to the islands

You’re totally right about not trying to cram in more than 2 islands for a week-long vacation!
In fact, Maui has so much to offer, that I would suggest anyone headed there spend a full 2 weeks there.
We tend to pack our vacations pretty full of activities, so you’d think in a week we would have been able to see everything worth seeing on Maui - well even on a TWO week vacation we ran out of time and had to put a bunch of stuff on our to-do list for the next time.
On the other hand, when we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, we spent 1 week on Oahu, and 1 week on the Big Island - for those particular islands, I think 1 week is enough.
Tell me what you're thinking...
