Description
Frommer's books aren't written by by AI (like so many of the no-name brands you see in online bookstores) or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We work with the most seasoned, expert local journalists, like Jeanne Cooper and Catherine Toth Fox, the Editor of HAWAI'I Magazine. Both authors are widely published in Hawaii, and in the mainland United States.
Comprehensive and fully updated, Frommer's Hawaii covers all the major Hawaiian Islands, and takes you from world-famous beaches to secluded rain-forests to blazing hot restaurants-and everywhere in between. With their reliable, straight-shooting advice, you'll be snorkeling in palm-fringed lagoons, catching the sunrise over a soaring volcano, relaxing on postcard-ready beaches, and experiencing Hawaii's rich cultural traditions, history, and innovative regional cuisine-everything you need for an unforgettable trip.
Frommer's Hawaii contains:
Dozens of colorful maps and photos, including a handy pullout map.
Detailed itineraries for planning a trip to suit your interests and make the most of your time.
Authentic experiences honoring Hawaii's diverse topography, cultural traditions, food, and customs.
Outdoor adventures for travelers of all ages and skill levels to explore the islands' jungles, beaches, seas and mountains, plus information on the best outfitters to help on some of those excursions.
Reliable, impartial reviews with star ratings of the best restaurants, tours, shops, attractions and hotels-and the ones to avoid. No entity has paid to be in this guide-or any Frommer's guide. We pride ourselves on over six decades of journalistic integrity.
Accurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, telephone numbers, and other resources you'll need.
Exact pricing in each review, so there's never any guessing required.
Money-saving tips and exact pricing for travelers on any budget-from backpacker to luxury.
Planning advice for getting there, getting around, saving money, and getting the most from your trip.
About Frommer's: There's a reason that Frommer's has been the most trusted name in travel for more than 65 years. Arthur Frommer created the bestselling guide series in 1957 to help American service members fulfill their dreams of travel in Europe. Since then, we have published thousands of titles, becoming a household name by helping millions upon millions of people realize their own dreams of seeing our planet. Travel is easy with Frommer's.
