Our hosts said out of all their guests, we were the ones that went exploring the most, wanting to see the real Hawaii. What surprised me is how rural most of the Big Island is. Kona is touristy. Most of the rest of it isn't. Sue's parents lived in Maui for a while and we've spent about a month in total there. It's a bustling metropolis compared to the Big Island. Haven't been to Oahu yet. Also want to see Kauia Good point. Our hosts said out of all their guests, we were the ones that went exploring the most, wanting to see the real Hawaii.

Sue’s parents lived in Maui for a while and we’ve spent about a month in total there. It’s a bustling metropolis compared to the Big Island.

Haven’t been to Oahu yet. Also want to see Kauia

Some like to hang in the hotels, some like to hike in the rainforest, some like to soak in the geothermal pools. But it is good that not everybody wants to see the real Hawaii, that will keep it alive. You see on Oahu there is almost no hidden place anymore, no peaceful spot where you don't see a Roberts Hawaii or Oahu Adventure buses. And even if you would know, you would probably not want to tell. But I'm glad that you had your experience. It's great here! People just like different things.
