Those of us in the Emerald Corner tend to take Hawaii for granted as a vacation destination, & we really shouldn't. It has so much to see & do!

Some folks go for the luxury & pampering, others for the volcanoes & hiking. I go for the latter! A wonderful site for planning an Hawaiian holiday is http://www.gohawaii.com the Hawaii Convention & Visitors' Assn site.

Besides the Big Island's Waipeo Valley (it's easy going down, but awful coming up) & biking down Maui's crater, what are your fave hidden spots in Hawaii? And what do you use for a planning tools?
