I used to work on the Big Island. After a few days on Oahu, you will probably find the snorkling, surf, and beaches disappointing on Hawaii. Just so many tourist-friendly options on Oahi. Big Island isn't as such. Kona side is windy w/ high surf; Hilo rains. There aren't as many people by far, but lots of people are bored visiting there. I go back every couple of years to relax. My recommendations for Big Island is to try and go local. Someone gives you poo poo for being a tourist tell them you were supposed to be in Oahu but it was too crazy and you needed a break. That might buy you some slack. I guess Volcano National Park is partially-closed, but if you head over there do eat at Ohia in Volcano (sandwich place). We used to go to this karaoke place Hilo-side that, once you lasted a few songs, or came in a few nights, pupus were free. Same side of the island island is the Alae Cemetery. Depending on where you are from that can be pretty awesome. Some of the best Bodhi trees are on the Big Island, Hilo-side. There's a bunch by the one big hotel, but a favorite drinking spot is by the FedEx/Hawaiian Cargo buildings. Sounds ridiculous but there's a random park there with some huge trees. One of the best holdouts on the islands is Waipio Valley on the NW corner. You have to have a 4x4 vehicle or the local constable will make you hike it. If you are in shape the hike is worth it. Most tourists give up 1/3 of the way down. I was a little irritated last time I was there at the number of helicopter tours that fly over. Black sand; bound by waterfalls on the left, right, and rear, good surf to the north. Also a good place to camp (have to pack everything in and out - no facilities). I'm too lazy to check weather, but the Big Island is one of the few places where you can wake up in a rainforest (Hilo), drive up to an active volcano to poke lava, then over to a snow-covered mountain, then down into a desert (Kona) beach setting, all in the same day.

thanks for the effort post rebounded, esp part about trees since gf is gay for them. that little camping adventure is probably a non-starter, because that poo poo requires lots of luggage and driving's probably going to be hard enough since apparently everyone drives on the wrong side of the road there. it doesn't matter about it being boring because we'll be drunk on that insanely cheap american alcohol and we'll have video games and poo poo. i might even get some work done. we usually 'go local' though when we travel though, figuring a place out is really the fun of it for us. it does make it harder to meet people but what are you going to do other points that would be cool: - what is good regions to stay on both islands? prob going to airbnb. sounds like hilo is the place on the big island; we like rain. - good places to party on her actual birthday on oahu - how cheap is lego there because i like lego - good beaches to get drunk on / are there any cool beach bonfires you can chill at like a beer commercial or are they illegal

If you wanna jump off a rock 45 feet up into a pool Kapena Falls is off the Pali highway on Oahu. They filmed a bunch of scenes from Lost there as well.

a friend of mine spent 6 months on Hawaii, in some place called Hilo. according to him it was terrible, just terrible. it was basically a big parking lot with sweltering heat, 90% air humidity and rain all the time. and everyone who lived there was a fat, stupid, pothead drunk driver.

It's too bad you're going in march, that's just after the nice rainy season when the swells are sweet. Hanauma is cool for snorkeling and you can jump off the big rock at waimea bay. you could try asking for the kama'aina discount at a lot of places and if they ask for state ID you could tell them you forgot it, but it's worth a try. might not work if you look too touristy but tourists don't even know the word or what it means anyway
