Look for deals and plan early, Hawaiian just had r/t HNL-JFK for under $400.
Consider doing more than one island.
Oahu obviously has the greatest variety and all the amenities, but also has 90% of the population.
It's easy to stay "in town" and cover oahu by car.
Within easy reach of Waikiki/Honolulu (ie the south shore) there's some interesting military stuff like the Arizona/Pearl Harbor.
Diamond Head crater is a hike, scenic lookout, volcano, military relic all wrapped up in one.
Surfing lessons and canoe rides, dinner cruises etc are the norm.
Hanauma bay is a must, it still blows my mind.
It's an old volcanic crater that one wall fell to the ocean and now it's a wildlife reserve.
The fish eat out of your hand, it's like a giant aquarium.



It's ridiculous, and ridiculously crowded so best avoid peak times and seasons for that one namely summer and weekends.
Makapu'u Lighthouse is an easy hike near there kids can do, and Sea Life Park is right around the corner.

The views can be stunning; you can see Maui and Moloka'i on a clear day and whale sitings are guaranteed around spring.
Ill post more later, gotta go chop some coconuts etc... -

Really? That would be a steal. ****, I'd drive to JFK from NC for that kind of deal. I'll have to be on the lookout.
What are some of the resorts you would suggest?
Edit: Thanks for the info. I had never looked at Hawaiian Airlines' website. I could get the four of us from JFK to Hawaii and back for under $2K. That's way cheaper than the prices I'd been looking at before. And it sounds like I could do better than that if I waited for specials.
