How much would my Hawaii Trip run me?

Ok so its my 2 year anniversary with my gf and her parents offered there timeshare to me to use and i was thinking about going to Hawaii for 7-10 days. Im not sure what Island i want to goto but i dont want a very busy island with lots of hotels and shops and all the stuff u see in LA i want a very Tropical untouched island. a few things i wanna do
1) hands down i HAVE to go scuba diving AND snorkeling, probably snorkeling first so i dont get spoiled with scuba
2) exploring all the jungles
3) relaxing on the beach watching the sunset
4) waterfalls
5) maybe some fishing
6) Misc water sports
ok so next i have a few quetions and they are these:

1) whats the best island to visit thats more untouched
2) ive priced the flight for both of us about around 800-900 round trip, the hotel is free so all i have to worrie about is entertainment and food, i plan on cooking 90% of our meals but i still wanna go out atleast 1 night, (Doesnt even have to be a nice place id rather it be a local fav then a famous $$ place. but anyway as far as spending money goes what do you think a good price would be..
3) Is June a good time to go?
4) what should i expect

If you have read this far i thank you for taking the time to help me out..if i need to explain myself a little more just let me know thank you







Answer :
1) hands down i HAVE to go scuba diving AND snorkeling, probably snorkeling first so i don't get spoiled with scuba

Maui...lots of places for snorkeling, Molokini Crater is widely known. Other than that, when you are driving from Kihei to Lahania, stop after the mile marker 16, free entrance I'd say it is the best area for snorkeling in Maui.

2) exploring all the jungles : take the road to Hanna it is the top scenic drives, 50 miles of road with undeveloped tropical jungles. Leave early if you plan on doing a day trip..Lots to see and do on that road. Make sure to have sturdy shoes as the rocks in some areas very slippery. I don't remember how many times I fell at least 3 times even with the shoes.

3) relaxing on the beach watching the sunset : All over Maui if you rent a car you can explore a beach everyday.

4) waterfalls: plenty on the road to Hanna that is why the rocks are slippery. I recommend hiking in the jungle to twin falls...You will feel you are in the jungle even though people like you maybe walking/hiking next to you..

5) maybe some fishing : I have not tried so don't have an answer

6) Misc water sports: you might want to try surfing in North Shore of Peahi..That area have the biggest waves. It is also on the road to Hanna.

Maui is not cheap infact Hawaii is not cheap at all. Even the grocery stores are expensive since they import all their food from the mainland. I have never ever but ever remember paying $8 for a loaf of bread in a grocery store in my life. In Maui I did. So this should give you some sort of indication on budgeting your kitchen/food and entertainment expenses. There is a Danny's restaurant in Kihei. They are open 6 am to midnight. Food is good, 20% more expensive than mainland branches. Kihei is the best area in terms of restaurant varieties and prices. You will see a lot of places serving pub food which I find them not expensive at all. You can have burgers $10-$12 on average.
If you go to Lahaina, you might want to go the restaurant Buba Gump from the movie Forest Gump if you remember. If I go to Maui again I wouldn't go there again food is mediocre service is so so..But I would go to the restaurant 3 stores down on the corner for good food and cool service..They do serve shrimps too. That is my intake it is upto you to consider :)
I can recommend eating at Tommy Roma's though..You will find it not expensive for quality of the food, place and service..Those yummy ribs..Go to the REAL Luau in Lahaina. There is only one luau place in Lahaina the rest are offered by the hotels. If you plan on going to that one make sure to book it as soon as you arrive to the island. That event is always full.

June maybe little bit hot and perhaps a little crowded too since schools are on holiday and families go on vacation. I went there 2 years ago in February, the weather was not hot or cold. In fact it was windy and rainy on the south part of the island. Don't have any idea about June though.

Have a nice time in Hawaii!
