Hi, my family is planning to go to Hawaii in August, and we are trying to decide which island to visit. We're basically debating between Kauai and Maui (but if you think another island is better for us, let me know 
)
In general, I know that Kauai is more peaceful, less commercialized (but not at an uncomfortable level), more tropical/scenic/lush... whereas Maui is also very nice and scenic but more crowded.
This is the first time we'll be going to Hawaii. It'll just be me and my parents; I'll be 16.
Top priorities:
Really nice beaches (preferably not crowded)
Beautiful scenery (maybe with some nice easy hikes)
Real "Hawaiian" feel
Do not care for:
Shopping
Big resorts
Surfing
Nightlife
It'd be nice if we could go to a Luau and see something cultural, but that isn't a must. We just want to have some good family fun and see some really nice scenery
Thanks
