Hawaii: The Best of Paradise: A Haole Insiders' Guide to Honolulu and Beyond (DiscoverGuides) - Softcover

An upbeat and whimsical insiders' guide to the Aloha State, Hawaii: The Best of Paradise provides a close-up view of Honolulu, plus coverage of the islands of Maui, Kauai, the Big Island, Lanai, and Molokai. "Ten Best" lists in more than 50 categories give visitors all the details they need to find the very best that Hawaii has to offer. Scores of Hawaii guidebooks have been published, yet no other guide approaches the tropical paradise in this unique, opinionated fashion. Readers can discover at the flip of a page the ten best resorts, attractions, restaurants, nightspots, and shopping areas. For those who want to play in the sun, it lists the ten best beaches and the ten best places to snorkel, dive, hike, and bike. Other lists include the ten best places to take hula lessons and the ten best places to snuggle with your sweetie. For visitors on a budget, a "Proud Paupers" chapter points out the ten best free attractions and the cheapest eats and sleeps. In addition, an "unauthorized history" of Hawaii reviews the islands' controversial occupation by outsiders.
