Get To The Heart of Your Destination
Half of Hawaii's 8 million yearly tourists are first-timers, often unsure of which island to visit, where to stay, and what to choose to do.
NO WORRIES HAWAII, a companion book to the Sprout's adventure guides for each of the islands, comes to the rescue. The book is also useful for repeat visitors or locals looking for new adventures.
Readers first take an armchair voyage, in which they nail down their vacation style (a scouting expedition, a romantic getaway, a solo or group adventure, invigorating, relaxing, healing). These likings are matched with what Hawaii has to offer. A clever but simple self-test allows readers to sort through Hawaii's assets: beaches, nightlife, trails, gardens, attractions, cultural sites, surfing, snorkeling, 36 categories in all, to determine which are important and which island is best.
In the second part of NO WORRIES HAWAII, readers take their decisions from part one and receive all the practical and money-saving advice needed to book a vacation that makes the armchair voyage become a real one. Included also is a complete list of what to pack.
The third part of the book is full of tips on what to do and what not to do after arriving in the islands. Readers will deplane as kama'aina (locals), having the benefit of the Sprout's 20 years of exploration.
Sections include how to plan days to maximize fun and avoid hassle, finding free entertainment, car rental and accommodation money-savers. Readers are advised on how to, and whether to, book tours (snorkeling, sailing, helicopter, horseback, etc.). The book's safety tips are a literal lifesaver, and the everyday advice on driving, hiking, and beach-going are essential forgetting the most fun out of every day.
The meat of NO WORRIES HAWAII is its Best Of section, a listing of Hawaii's top attractions: museums, rainforest dayhikes, snorkeling coves, walk-around beach towns, surfing spots, places to watch surfers, mountain bike trails, people-watching beaches, botanical gardens, short strolls to views, cultural sites, luxury resorts, volcano hikes, bird-watching forests, waterfalls, churches, remote beaches, family beach parks, golf courses, and more.
Taken together, the 50 categories neatly sum up the best of Hawaii. Readers can use these listings as a reference when they get to their chosen island.
NO WORRIES HAWAII is beautifully designed, complimented by more than 100 color photographs, and also contains a "wikiwiki phonebook" with all the contact numbers needed to put a vacation together.

You’ve probably seen pictures of that luxury cruise liner that ran aground off the coast of Italy and wondered, “is a cruise really for me?

We can answer that question with a single, exuberant, “yes!”

There is literally a safe, fun cruise for every one, regardless of age and almost regardless of budget.

As you will read in this book, it’s easy to book just the right cruise for you and your partner or your whole family. You will also learn in this report about insurance and cancellations, what you should bring on a cruise and the best cruises for families.

Are you worried about the cost of that amazing cruise? Don’t be. We’ll teach you how to buy a cruise for less money than you might have ever imagined. You say that money is no object? That’s okay, too. We have a complete section on luxury cruises.

Just about to get married? What could be more romantic than a walk in the moonlight on the deck of a luxury cruise liner, caressed by the gentle wind of a warm Caribbean night? That’s right. We also have information about cruises for newlyweds. And let’s face it, taking a cruise in the Caribbean or wine-dark Mediterranean has to be just one of the most romantic and memorable honeymoons imaginable.

While ocean cruises used to be just for the wealthy, times have changed. The state of today’s economy has forced the cruise lines to lower their prices to the point where a 5- or 7-day cruise can cost less than, say, a week on Maui. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to sample a bevy of side trips, ranging from watching a glacier calve to scuba diving along a breathtakingly beautiful coral reef. When you choose a cruise, you can also choose to visit exotic new places – the West Indies, Jamaica, Cancun, the French Riviera or the rivers of France and Germany.

And while you’re enjoying these new vistas, you’ll be spoiled like never before with food the like of which you may have never eaten. In fact, once you step foot on a cruise ship, you could eat your way through the entire day clear up to Midnight – if you choose - enjoying one sumptuous meal after another as served by waiters and waitresses whose only goal is to make you feel like royalty.

An ocean cruise can literally be the experience of a lifetime – no matter what kind of budget you have or the cruise you choose. So hang on while we set sail to teach you what you need to know about the joy of cruising.

Aloha! Hello from Hawaii. Here you’ll encounter some of the most unique geography in the United States. While it has only been a state a relatively short time, Hawaii has always been a premier vacation destination. Why? The pineapples, the sugar, the spices, and all of the other agriculture serve as the backbone to this island chain, but there is so much more.

Hawaii exemplifies all that is exotic; palm fringed beaches, molten lava cascading into the sea and rain forests so dense that they rank as some of the wettest places on the planet. From the main island, to Maui to Kauai, Hawaii has enough sights and sounds to give a serious traveler a lifetime of memories.

This island paradise has something for everyone: surfers, hikers, swimmers, scuba divers, geological enthusiasts and professional beach potatoes.

The STREETWISE® Hawaii Map has each island mapped, along with a detailed inset of Honolulu, fully indexed with sites, hotels, parks, scenic drives and more.

Our pocket size map of Hawaii is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE® Hawaii map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE®. Buy your STREETWISE® Hawaii map today and you too can navigate the Hawaiian Islands like a native.
