Frommer's Hawaii from $80 a Day

by Jeanette Foster

Frommer’s Hawaii from $80 a Day proves that you don’t have to spend a fortune on a ritzy resort to experience the best of the islands. Meticulously researched by one of Hawaii’s most respected journalists, this is a reliable, up-to-date, and comprehensive guide to the best bargains in the Aloha State. Our author has scoured every inch of the islands personally, and she's selected the very best B&Bs, cottage and condo rentals, authentic mom-and-pop restaurants, shopping bargains, and affordable after-dark fun. She's given you all the details you need to use the Web to plan your trip, and offers smart advice on package tours, airfare bargains, and more. We’ll make sure that you’ll truly experience the spirit of aloha—we’ll help you steer clear of anything that’s overpriced, touristy, or inauthentic. With Frommer’s in hand, you’ll discover secluded beaches; great spots for snorkeling; golf courses with reasonable greens fees; hikes through volcano craters and lush rain forests; and secret waterfall swimming holes. We’ve even thrown in a free color fold-out map!

Good, well organized information. We haven't gone on our trip yet (hopefully we'll go in May 2009) so I don't know how accurate all the info is. The book made me way more excited to go though! It also helped me narrow down that we want to visit Kauai for sure and Molokai if we have time.

I used a Frommers travel book in Hawaii when my father and I traveled around the world with Pan Am in the 1970s.

Just read sections on Oahu and the Big Island...before our trip to Hawaii.
