Oahu or Maui?

I'm for Maui, but if you already been there maybe you'd like to go to Oahu. Actually it depends on what kind of a vacation do you plan, are you into markets and stuff, are you the outdoor type, is a good hotel important for you, these kind of consideration are very important for the decision making.

We always stayed on Oahu for a couple days and then on to Maui. My wife loves the shopping on Waikiki, and we both love the beaches and stuff to do on Maui. We just moved to Hawaii this year and chose the Big Island. We hadn't been here for about 3 years, but fell in love with it. It has everything to offer. You can see so many different types of climate on the island from sunny-hot (Kona side,) to lush rain forests on the Hilo side. Check it out if you get a chance.

I would say definitely Maui, for me Oahu is too commercialised with tourists everywhere and unless you head to North Shore all the beaches are packed. I think Maui is more what you would associate with a paradise island with beautiful scenery and less tourists.

I prefer Oahu, but maybe it's because I like it when there's a lot of people around.

I personally would choose Oahu unless you want to go to a quieter place. Oahu has many attractions and shopping! Not to mention great eating and beautiful beaches! WAIKIKI!
