Hawaii: An Explorer's Guide

SECOND EDITION

Kim Grant


Six major islands. One indispensable guide.

A friend has gone before you and tells it like it is in the conversational guide to Hawaii. Veteran travel writer and photographer Kim Grant cuts through the tourist brochure clutter to help you maximize your precious time and money. Utterly reliable and comprehensive, she gives completely updated listings of resorts, condos, vacation cottages, and campgrounds, and hundreds of dining recommendations, from plate lunches and local grinds to seared ahi and Kona lobster at haute eateries.

But Grant steers you where other guides don't. As a part-time resident, she guides you to waterfalls and volcanoes; takes you snorkeling and golfing; finds authentic luaus; illuminates the nuances of hula; and unearths fine contemporary craftsmen and Hawaiiana collectibles. She also includes:

Musts for First-time Visitors

Ideas for Repeat Visitors

Building Blocks for Perfect Days in . . .

Travel writer and photographer Kim Grant is the author of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket: An Explorer's Guide, Best Places to Stay in Hawaii, and many other popular guidebooks. Her photographs appear in Explorer's Guides to Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York City, as well as in other national guidebook series and magazines. When she's not exploring Hawaii, she divides her time between New Mexico and California.

Other guide features include:
• Suggested itineraries for varying lengths of stays and purposeful getaways
• Sidebars on the Hawaiian language and Hawaii regional cuisine
• Calendar guides to annual events and celebrations
• An alphabetical “What's Where” guide for trip planning
• Handy icons point out best values, “must dos,” family-friendly activities, and rainy-day activities
