Jeanne Cooper delivers a complete guide to Hawaii's major islands following the pandemic lockdowns. Cooper covers every aspect of Hawaiian travel, from celebrated beaches to hidden rainforests and traditional luaus. The author provides direct, honest recommendations based on extensive local knowledge. Cooper takes readers through snorkeling adventures in tropical lagoons, sunrise viewing from volcanic peaks, and relaxation on picture-perfect shores. She explores Hawaii's cultural heritage and modern cuisine scene. The guide builds on Frommer's six-decade legacy in travel publishing, which began when Arthur Frommer launched the series in 1957 to help military personnel explore Europe. Cooper's approach emphasizes practical advice over promotional language, helping travelers navigate the islands with confidence and discover authentic Hawaiian experiences.
