Fodor's Hawaii 2010 (Full-Color Gold Guides)
By Fodor's

Hawaii is a special place, however, and there is so much more to do here, you may find yourself overwhelmed with all the information. You cannot do all of Hawaii in two weeks. I would recommend an island a week to truly get to relax and know the island. For an example, Kauai (the garden island) contains more climate zones than any other island, ranging from desert to the wettest spot on earth. Fodor's suggests many ways to explore Kauai, including helicopter, boat tours, hiking and biking trails and of course by car. Noting is left out. Skydiving, surfing, tennis, zipline tours, shopping, spas, golfing, bars, clubs, etc.
