We are travelling to Hawaii the second week of August for a week. My girlfriend and I have never been. I picked Kapalua because the reviews say it's less touristy than the south shore and the beaches are nice but who knows.

We are renting an AirBNB and I have a few questions:

- We went to St. Croix last year and I was able to rent a small charter boat for 5 hours for around $1K. Is this feasible to do to snorkle?

- What are the best beaches we should go too that are quiet with not that many people? Do all of the beaches except the harbors have crazy waves?

- We're renting a car and want to access the black sand beaches. Is this worth it?

Any other pointers? I don't trust trip advisor for the most part so appreciate any insight.

We enjoy relaxing on the beach, eating out & snorkeling but no crazy activities. My fear is there's going to be a million tourists and HI is commercialized (I've heard both things)
