About this title

Synopsis

This update emphasizes the islands' exotic allure, visiting prehistoric temples, native craft shops, peaceful beaches, and volcanic wonders -- and showing a Hawaii that few tourists see.

Review

There's more to Hawaii than Honolulu, Waikiki, and touristic luaus. Some people fear that Hawaii is overrun, but through Sean Pager's eyes, there are remote valleys, island outposts, pristine waterfalls, wet mountain peaks, active volcanoes, untouched beaches, and verdant vistas. He knows (and shares) where there are petroglyphs no longer advertised to the general public, which reefs to snorkel near Molokai, why you might want to visit Kaupea Beach, and how it came to pass that three British sailors were sacrificed in Oahu's ancient temple Puu o Mahuka Heiau in 1793. Hawaii off the Beaten Path is a fun guide to read, and more important, it'll take you to the Hawaii gems that the visiting masses never dream of seeing.
