Fifty one-day adventures exploring the lovely Hawaiian Islands, including Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Lanai, and Kauai from such bases as Honolulu, Waikiki, Hilo, and Kailua-Kona. There's sightseeing, of course, through historic sites, national parks, ranches, plantations, volcanoes - all peppered with local lore, legends, and fascinating off-beat attractions that you simply won't find in other guidebooks. Travel is by car, bus, boat, plane, bicycle, and even on foot. Naturally, beaches and mountains are well covered. DAYTRIPS HAWAII also tells of diverse activities such as snorkeling, sailing, surfing, windsurfing, hiking, biking, and just plain old relaxing while succumbing to local temptations.

This second edition has been updated with more Hawaiiana, new attractions, more practical information, and ideas on how to get more out of your stay even if you've been to the islands before. There are also new restaurant suggestions in all price categories, and plenty of offbeat shopping opportunities.
