Kauai is the best (well, besides Tahiti). Take the helicopter flight through Waimea, their 'grand canyon' and up the Na Pali coast. Poipu has good weather, a nice cove and snorkeling/diving. Getting to Poipu, you can drive through a 'tree tunnel.' Just west of there is a lava shelf over the ocean that has some pretty dramatic blow holes. Although Kauai is far less touristy than the other islands, some popular sites like the fern grotto are still worth seeing.
