Molokai Island, which is almost untouched by tourism is a stunning escape from the busier and larger islands in the archipelago, and a great place to trace the cultural history of native Hawaiians, whether through the islands inhabitants or the ancient sites that dot the land. Lanai on the other hand is known for its Shipwreck Beach, which in turn is known for its offshore wreck of a WWII tanker, and is a good place to spot Humpback Whales - from the secluded Polihua Beach.
Hawaii is massively multicultural and home to the descendants of ancient Polynesians, European explorers, American missionaries and Asian immigrants, all of whom have brought their own influence to the archipelagos cuisine.
The etiquette of Hawaii can be slightly surprising for first time visitors but think of it as somewhere between generic American manners and Asian sensibilities, and you should be just fine.
