Full of insight and helpful hints, The Traveler's Hawaii Companion provides a fresh look at that magical archipelago in the mid-Pacific known to the land-starved nineteenth-century mariners as Owyhee, as a place of salty dreams and fevered visions. Initially ruled by Polynesian warrior kings, the islands today are populated by people of many races who brought with them their distinct cultures, customs and religions. Perhaps more than any other place in the world, it conjures up a perfumed picture-postcard scene of soft trade winds, frangipani blooms, rainbows over lush tropical valleys, the white surf rolling native outriggers to the shore and, of course, lovely native hula dancers. All of Hawaii's traditional romance is still there. Rediscover it with the Traveler's Hawaii Companion, your passport to these still-enchanted isels and thebest that they have to offer in beauty, charm, and soul.
