Completely revised and updated for 2007, Let's Go Hawaii is researched and compiled entirely by students who know first-hand how to see the world on the cheap, this guide has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever.

Hawaii has been billed as the American tropical paradise since the 1950s. The beauty of the trails, verdant wilderness, and cliffs of Kauai-the oldest and arguably most majestic island-is unrivaled. And between them the other islands offer some of the most beautiful drives in the world, National Parks galore, volcanoes, surfing, pristine beaches of white, black, gold, green and red sand, not to mention the glamorous clubs and free beachside hulas. Even without the historical temples and palaces to see, the legends to imbibe, the waves to boogie board, the bays to snorkel in, and the whales to watch, the quintessence of Hawaii's appeal may still be that accessible, yet exotic, tropical paradise: part of the US, yet decidedly un-American.
