Travelers looking for more than the standard itinerary will find many unique options in this newly updated, award-winning all-island guide. While most conventional guides include only the obvious highlights, the seventh edition of Moon Handbooks Hawaii offers a comprehensive look at the Big Island, Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, and Niihau with an insider's perspective on must-see attractions and undiscovered gems worth seeking out. Author Robert Nilsen provides an in-depth look at the history, culture, characteristics and charms of each island, an extensive focus on sports and recreation, and coverage of offbeat and often neglected destinations including hikes through lava tubes and craters, the liveliest festivals, and the quietest beaches. Packed with fresh coverage of new restaurants, tours, inter-island travel, and accommodations, as well as color maps, photos, and insightful sidebars, the seventh edition of Moon Handbooks Hawaii contains all the pertinent particulars for planning an enriching and extraordinary Hawaiian getaway.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Good Full Overview,
By Beth Banks (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moon Handbooks Hawaii (Paperback)
Even though this is thick and heavy, it was not as cumbersome as I thought it would be. The index is excellent. I read it in my room everyday before taking off for hither and yon. I visited Oahu and Maui and especially enjoyed my days in Honolulu because of all the history and beautiful Iolani Palace grounds.

Good book for the money...,
By Mark (Macedon, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Moon Handbooks Hawaii (Paperback)
We just got back fron a two week trip to the Hawaiian Islands. We visited three islands, Kau'ai, Oahu, and Hawai'i. The book proved to be a valuable tool to have during our visit. I'm not sure that I always agreed with the author's opinion on some things, but overall most of his tips were good ones. I paid $11 for the book and considering the cost of the trip, having this book or one like it is very worthwhile.

The only thing it is missing is a Don't Miss section. I would have preferred if he did some kind of rating for what he liked. But excellent otherwise
