We’d like to plan a 2-week timeshare trip to Hawaii for 2022 for four people. First time in Hawaii.
My wants list:
Want to see as much as possible of all islands in that time without killing ourselves. We are in our 60s.
Want to see the volcano, Maui, and Kauai. All others things are optional.I
We have weeks to trade through Interval International. We have a Mexico elite resort that trades well.
I know nothing! Lol. Thanks in advance.

Our family has had the opportunity to visit many of the islands over the past 20 years. We had to cancel Maui this February because of the COVID uncertainty. Without echoing the sentiments of all the posters, I can safely say,
@DaveNV, had the most practical advice. See what you are able to secure in terms of accommodations within your timeline, then, figure out the activities. Having traded into the Big Island and finally, purchased the Bay Club as a resale timeshare, the time it takes to drive to the Volcano is significant. First you should check into the National Park for the trails and then, you can drive around. Then, you may want to hike to the crater, if it is allowed. There is a drive to park and hike into see the lava flows, again, if that is allowed. That is significant trek and we hiked with our eight-year old because riding the mountain bikes over the hardened lava and rocky trail was too risky. If the trail to the lava flow is closed, then, a stay at Volcano Village is amazing as
@Luanne, suggested. You will have access to the National Park at night when everyone else has left.
What you do not elaborate on is what activities you enjoy. Our family loves to snorkel, for hours. Maui has the most accessible beaches with the best tropical fish and sea life- eels, turtles, cleaner wrasses. The Big Island has a number of excellent beaches to enjoy on the Waikoloa/Kona side with great snorkeling. You might want to buy the Revealed series to figure out your activities. Based on how much you want to see and what you want to see, you can determine how long you can stay. Having done the crazy -two-activity-a-day-marathon when we thought we would not ever return, we found that the Hawaii bug bit. Now, we take it easy and just go with the flow and enjoy. But, that came with many, many return trips to different island over 20 years. I intend to rent from another TUGGER for his condo in Molokai when we can safely travel. Good luck.
