Product Description
Travelers looking for more than the standard itinerary will find many unique options in this newly updated, award-winning all-island guide. While most conventional guides include only the obvious highlights, the seventh edition of Moon Handbooks Hawaii offers a comprehensive look at the Big Island, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, and Niihau with an insider's perspective on must-see attractions and undiscovered gems worth seeking out. Author Robert Nilsen provides an in-depth look at the history, culture, characteristics and charms of each island, an extensive focus on sports and recreation, and coverage of offbeat and often neglected destinations including hikes through lava tubes and craters, the liveliest festivals, and the quietest beaches. Packed with fresh coverage of new restaurants, tours, inter-island travel, and accommodations, as well as color maps, photos, and insightful sidebars, the seventh edition of Moon Handbooks Hawaii contains all the pertinent particulars for planning an enriching and extraordinary Hawaiian getaway.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Moon Handbooks: Hawaii (Paperback)
I got this book for Christmas from my son the month before we went to Hawaii. I would never have purchased such a (very) thick stodgy looking guide if I saw it in the bookstore. I devoured it during the thirteen hour flight to Hawaii and must say it was by far the very best travel guide that I have ever read and used to any destination. (And I have read them all.) It is so comprehensive and the writing is so well done that reading all of the information was almost like reading a page turner novel for me. I could not get enough. Once we were in Hawaii (three islands) we found it totally indispensible. We traveled with three other guides but with all of their color photograpy and fancy maps eventually this heavy one was the only one we eventually felt was worthwhile. After touring extensively on the islands I read it with even more interest on the long flight home. We plan to return to see more Hawaiian islands and this is the one we will bring. It is not glitzy it is the real thing. Enjoy.
