Going to Hawaii in 3 days. Any suggestions?

It's a family trip, (me, sis #1, sis #2, mom, and dad) and this is how it's going:
Arrive in Honolulu and stay about 3 days. One day will be Pearl Harbor. Our hotel is the Celebrity Resort, so we are right next to Waikiki Beach.
We are then going to Kauai and staying Pono Kai for a week. I love snorkeling (more than scuba even) so I am seeking any good dive spots on the island (ideal spots are with many fish and coral and is about 10 to 25 feet deep). We really have nothing planned and we will play it by ear, but does anyone know of any sights or events worth seeing? Even restaurants, hikes, tours, "mom and pop" places, and anything to really experience it?
Oh, and is it alright to splurge in Hawaii or should I limit my spending?
It's my first time there and I want to really remember it! Please tell me about your experiences!

I like to eat! Here are some suggestions on places to eat:

Oahu:

Dole Plantation Tour - they have a fun maze and it breaks up the drive up to the North Shore (if you plan on seeing the pipeline). Try to pineapple soft serve ice cream.

Northshore: try the shave ice - either Aoki's (my favorite) or Matsumoto (adam sandler wore the shirt in the movie 50 first dates - see it before you go, if you have time!)

Kahuku: Giovanni's shrimp truck - i love this place. shrimp scampi from a scary looking truck but I just CRAVE this shrimp. Ask any of your hotel staff, they'll definitely know about it.

Waikiki: Leonard's Malasadas - GREAT donuts - there's usually a line for them!!

Pineapple Room: I had tasted some of Alan Wong's cooking for the first time this year. He was at an event that I went to and I was able to talk him into hooking me up with a doggie bag. I will forever be a fan of his!!

Kauai:
Hyatt Hotel's Buffet - great spread!! love the resort, too - even better than the Princeville Resort.

Hamura Saimin - it may be a little tough to find but it's a local favorite (save room for the lilikoi pie!!). It's in Lihue, cheap eats! 2956 Kress Street

Roy's Poipu Bar & Grill - in the poipu shopping village. I just love Roy for his consistency at all his locations - i've never had a bad meal yet!!

Activities on Kauai:
Diving: be sure to visit Caverns (located on the South Shore) or if your budget allows, take a boat out for a dive.

If you get a chance - not sure how old you are, but try to look into doing the Zipline Tour. It's a little pricey but it's the most fun I've EVER had!!

Helicopter tour - if you do the helicopter tour, be sure to do the Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour. Their equipment is pristine and they've got a great track record. When I plan my events and do a helicopter tour, I always trust them to take good care of my executives at my company.

Picnic - it's always fun to picnic anywhere on Kauai...no matter where you are, you're sure to have a fantastic view. (see if the hotel staff knows of any good "bento" or "Plate lunch" places. You have to try a plate lunch at least once while you're there!)

Have a FANTASTIC TIME!!
