Introduction

If youre looking for a book that will make it incredibly easy for you to plan and enjoy the best possible Hawaiian vacation, then look no further!

This is the no-fuss Hawaii guide, right down to the scores of ready-made Ultimate Itineraries we provide throughout. Weve distilled and filtered all the great stuff we know about from our travels around the Hawaiian islands, queried our many Hawaiian friends for even more insiders secrets, put everything into these pages, and made sure that all of this essential information and advice is super-easy for you to follow.

Sure, this is called a Complete Idiots Guide, but that doesnt mean weve dumbed down anything, or that youre anything less than a discriminating traveler. What it means is that youre a smart person who knows what you dont know. It means youre smart enough to look for the easiest way to learn all you need to know about Hawaii. So thats what were giving you here.

Packed with ready-made itineraries, useful maps, selective suggestions for the very best places to visit, and insiders tips on finding memorable experiences while avoiding many of the typical tourist traps, this book is designed to be friendly, fun, and eminently useful.

Hawaii is probably one of the most popular tropical destinations in the world, and it is the most popular among Americans. During our own sojourns to the Islands of Aloha, weve run into countless visitors who have said its their fourteenth trip, or even twentieth trip. Pretty wild stuff!

Theres certainly a lot to love about Hawaiiits exotic and yet familiar. In fact, its the furthest and most exotic place an American tourist can travel these days without a passport, since beginning in early 2007 U.S. citizens need one to return from Canada and Mexico.

So what would you rather do? Secure a passport in order to watch someone shovel snow in Toronto (not that theres anything wrong with that), or travel unencumbered by such documentation to a Polynesian paradise where you can sit under a swaying palm, mai tai in hand?

For us, its no contest.

Whats in This Book

Weve organized this book in a way that makes the most sense for planning and enjoying a trip to Hawaii. Part 1 provides historical and cultural information on the islands, as well as expert guidance for booking your trip. The rest of the parts focus on Honolulu and the specific islands, and are divided into Relaxing and Enjoying chapters.

The Relaxing Chapters: These are packed with essential information on each destination, including geography, the primary attractions, getting around, and places to stay. These are designed to help you plan and book your trip, and are intended to be read mainly before you go.

The Enjoying Chapters: These get into the nitty-gritty of visiting each destination, including ready-made Ultimate Itineraries for each island, depending on your style of travel, detailed information on all of the sites and activities, recommendations for great places to eat and drink, and more. These chapters will be valuable for your planning, but will also come in very handy while youre actually in Hawaii.
