Inhaltsangabe

The Essential Guides to the Hawaiian islands are both written and published in Hawaii. As such, they have the most up-to-date information, ant they uncover many local favorites that are off the beaten track.

The "Essential Guide to Oahu," covers everything you’ll need to know for a great Oahu vacation, including extensive sections on Waikiki, the center of tourist activity, and Honolulu, Hawaii’s capital.

Stunning photographs by two of Honolulu’s finest travel photographers, Veronica Carmona and Ann Cecil, provide visual counterpoints to the text. These are supplemented with archival photographs and artwork by many of Hawaii’s leading artists.

New maps were created for the book and several watercolor paintings were commissioned to provide dramatic three-dimensional depictions of Oahu’s mountains and valleys.

In addition to information about where to stay and what to see, the "Essential Guide to Oahu" provides in-depth material about Hawaii’s history and culture. Throughout the book, sidebars tell about ancient Hawaiian legends, art and customs. The emphasis in this guidebook is on places and activities that exhibit a distinctly Hawaiian flavor, that honor and perpetuate the culture of the native Hawaiians.

Included are favorite places to eat, many of which won’t be listed in most tourist publications. Luxury hotels and resorts are described in depth. In addition, listings of bed and breakfasts, cottages and house rentals provide information about more affordable accommodations.

Our top ten essentials, given at the beginning of the book, will help make your Oahu vacation an unforgettable experience. With the "Essential Guide to Oahu," you will discover how truly remarkable this tropical paradise is.
