Oh man I can write you a travel guide. Here is a cliff notes version though.
Rent at the Honua Kai. I stayed there in April and it is the nicest, newest condo in Maui, and is dirt cheap for what you get. We go to Maui every few years.
This is where I stayed:

Make sure you get the fresh local fish, like Mahi Mahi, especially Opakapaka, grill on BBQ with Lime and Cilantro, Fabulous!
You have to try this place for Shaved Ice:

As for snorkeling, you can pay to go to the crater, but there are great free spots that are just as nice.
Drive North to Honolua Bay, it is a rocky beach, but no waves. Great free spot.
Also, if you stay at the Honua Kai, or Kaanapalli in general, the beach in front of Honua Kai is great. Also, Black Rock is excellent to see turtles and you will see humpback whales in the distance.
Also, do the drive to Hana, but you do not have to go all the way. There are several awesome waterfalls you can swim in that are halfway or less the way there.
PM me if you want more info. I will have to hit you up for Kauai advice next year when we go.
