The first part of planning your trip to Hawaii is to decide which island (or islands) you want to explore - Oahu, Maui, Big Island, or Kauai. This guide helps you with descriptions so vivid you can almost feel the breeze and smell the hibiscus, plumeria, and orchids.Whether you want to watch daredevil wave riders and windsurfers or become one yourself, sip mai tais and soak up the sun or seek out adventure and action, relax in the lap of luxury or swim with the fishes, this guide helps you make the most of your Hawaiian vacation with information on: all kinds of accommodations, including luxury resorts, a fanciful Moorish palace on the sand, a room with an open-air lava-rock shower, a tropical beach cottage, and more; great places to surf, scuba dive, or snorkel; golfing on championship courses with ocean vistas so magnificent it's hard to keep your eye on the ball; and, reveling in nature and seeing teeming rainforests, volcano craters, spectacular waterfalls, and, of course, some the world's most beautiful beaches.This title also includes information on: driving the 'Heavenly' road to Hana on Maui, exploring the Allerton Gardens on Kauai, or paying homage to the past at Pearl Harbor on Oahu; where to start the day with a fresh papaya and a cup of robust Kona joe, enjoy a luau feast, indulge your passion for sushi or fresh island fish, or try family-style dining with a Hawaiian flavor; going whale-watching or taking the plunge and getting up close and personal with colorful reef fish, octopuses, sea turtles, and playful spinner dolphins; and, taking a helicopter tour for a bird's-eye view of desolate mountain peaks, volcano craters, and each island's unspoiled heartland.
Like every "For Dummies" travel guide, "Hawaii For Dummies, Fourth Edition", includes: down-to-earth trip-planning advice; what you shouldn't miss - and what you can skip; the best hotels and restaurants for every budget; handy Post-it Flags to mark your favorite pages Just a word of warning-while this guide is designed to help you plan your trip, please don't plan every minute. Leave yourself plenty of time to relax and experience the laid-back, generous spirit of genuine aloha.
Cheryl Farr Leas may live on the mainland, but she's a Hawaii girl at heart. She fell in love with Diamond Head, aloha wear, and mai tais in 1994 and has had trouble staying away ever since. Whenever she's not in the islands, she and her husband, Rob, make their home in Phoenix, Arizona, where they love to hike the desert mountains with their German Shepherd, Caleb. Before embarking on a writing career, Cheryl served as senior editor at Macmillan Travel (now Wiley), where she edited the Frommer's Hawaii travel guides for the better part of the 1990s. Now happy to be a globe-trotting author and destination branding consultant, Cheryl also writes Maui For Dummies.
