What's Your Favorite Island in Hawaii?

Wednesday June 17, 2009
The most frequent question I'm asked when people find out that I write about Hawaii is which island is my favorite? My answer has changed several times over the years.

All of the islands of Hawaii have their strong points and some drawbacks as well. A lot depends on what you're looking for. Ease of travel, choice of accommodations, varied activities, top dining and nightlife are all things that contribute to making a choice.

Some islands are more crowded than others. Some are much more laid back.

There really is no right or wrong answer. I'll tell you my current favorite in the first answer posted.

So, tell me, What's Your Favorite Island in Hawaii?

The more I visit the less I like the resort-filled islands, although the Four Seasons on Lanai is a good mix of comfort and a cool island. So I vote for Lanai. Another good offbeat area is Hilo on the Big Island, with the volcanoes and observatories. A good blog for that area is bigislandeast (dot) com
