Designed to convey the vitality of one of the most colourful places in the world, this guide to Hawaii is divided into three sections for ease of use. An overview of history and culture, a gazetteer of sites by region and Travelwise - the practical information section that covers everything from pre-trip planning and emergencies to hotels, restaurants, shops, entertainment and activities. The extensive gazetteer of famous and lesser-known sites, selected by the author for their particular interest, is complemented by the kind of photography you expect from National Geographic. Clear, detailed maps, walks and drives, specially commissioned artwork, plus features on such diverse topics as the Hawaiian cowboys and golfing in Hawaii, complete this practical guide.
