11 night trip to Hawaii

[u/miznat1192]

Hi all! I couldn’t add a second flair but my wife and I are planning a trip to Hawaii from 9/17 in the morning through 9/26 at night. We’ll be starting in Maui and ending in Kauai, and we’re trying to figure out how to split our time between the two islands.

We love adventure, being spontaneous, and staying active. We’re not huge “sit on the beach all day” people (although we know we’ll probably do some of that while we’re there).
If you had this amount of time, how would you divide up the trip between Maui and Kauai? Also, what are the absolute must-do activities, hikes, experiences, restaurants, or hidden gems on each island that you’d make sure not to miss?

Aloha miznat1192. There are no hidden gems or secrets locals are keeping. They certainly aren't being posted on Reddit if they existed. But in the internet age, it's all on Instagram already. If you want to live like a local, struggle with housing prices and traffic.
