Prices are higher (you're on an island) and there is only so far you can go. To get away, you'll have to hop a flight to one of the other islands where things are at a slower pace.
The other thing to be wary of in HI is you're a haole-boy. A lot of the locals resent non-natives, so you need to know which beaches are safer than others if you are interested in exploring the less touristy ones.

Did you hear that they're shutting down Aloha Stadium and the parking lot?
How the heck are you supposed to buy tee shirts on a Saturday??
