I have always wanted to go to pearl harbor, and we are flying in 2 days early just to make sure we can go see the USS Arizona.

The Helicopter tour on Kauai is a great idea.

I've been to Oahu and Big Island (Hawaii). When I was on Big Island he volcano had recently erupted and the lava was flowing into the ocean. We even got to kick it. Pretty sweet. I'd assume Big Island is your best bet if you want to see an active Volcano, and there are some beautiful black sand beaches and other nature-related attractions. Oahu is pretty touristy, but still fun. The North Shore is beautiful.
