9. Kauai is very nice, mostly quiet compared to others.

It has great gardens, nice places to swim and snorkle (turtles!), you can take a boat to cliffs, see whales, very nice. There are farmers markets daily, roadside fish taco stands, and not a lot of night life unless you go to one of the big hotels.

I very much liked it. Indeed rent a car, and if wherever you are has bad weather, you can always drive somewhere else to find sun. And don't forget the fish taco stands.
