Default Which ultra wide angle lens to rent for Hawaii honeymoon?

In a month and a half I'll be heading to Hawaii for my 2 week honeymoon and am looking into renting a really nice ultra wide angle lens. I want to kinda of go all out on a really great lens given the fact its my honeymoon and that I may never go back to Hawaii; I really want to take advantage of the beauty there. I have a D90 body, what can you guys/gals recommend?

Nikon 10-24 if you want really really wide
Nikon 12-24 if you want slightly better build and a bit contrast-ier image
Nikon 10.5 fisheye if you want to have fun*

(*no filters makes them a little tough to keep clean. It can be risky)

I'd opt against such a lens for a trip to Hawaii: its hard enough to keep water and sand spots off a filter, I'd hate to have to worry about it on a bulbous front element. I did a 10.5 at one point and it didnt come to the beach very often because it kept getting dangerously dirty
