It really depends on your interests. Nature lovers, families, and honeymooners tend to appreciate the slower pace and outdoor activities on Maui, Kauai, and the Island of Hawaii. Travelers interested in experiencing a mix of urban adventure, culture, nature, history, and nightlife should head to Oahu and spend time in Honolulu (the capital city, home to world-famous Waikiki and big summer swells) and on the North Shore (a more laid-back area of the island where you’ll find some of the best surf breaks, especially in the winter).
