Fodor's Essential Hawaii [antikvár]

WELCOME TO HAWAII Hawaii overflows with natural beauty. Piercing the surface of the Pacific from the ocean floor, the Hawaiian Islands are garlanded with soft sand beaches and dramatic volcanic cliffs. Long days of sunshine and fairly mild year-round temperatures make this an all-season destination, and the islands' offerings—from urban Honolulu on Oahu to the luxury resorts of Maui to the natural wonders of Kauai and the Big Island—appeal to all kinds of visitors. Less-developed Lanai and Molokai are quieter, but all the islands are rich in Hawaiian culture. TOP REASONS TO GO * Beaches: Every island claims its share of postcard-perfect strands. * Resorts: Spas, pools, lavish gardens, and golf courses make relaxing easy. * Pearl Harbor: This historic memorial site on Oahu is not to be missed. Napali Coast: Kauai's jagged emerald-green coast makes an unforgettable excursion. * Whale-Watching: In winter humpback whales swim right off Maui's shores. * Volcanoes National Park: On the Big Island you can explore the world's most active volcano.
