Hopping from one dazzling Hawaiian island to the next - beginning on Oahu with Honolulu, Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head, North Shore, and more - Rita Ariyoshi takes visitors on a breathtaking journey through this plumeria-scented paradise, describing all the major sights-and lesser-known ones as well. Along with the fabled beach and its attendant hotels, you'll visit the spectacular Bishop Museum, and take a detour to the North Shore, known for its giant waves and surfing culture. Then it's on to Maui, where charming Lahaina harks back to whaling days; the magnificent Haleakala volcano promises an amazing sunrise experience; and the white-knuckle Hana Drive overlooks the sparkling sea as it winds past countryside right out of Old Hawaii.
