Hawaii Travel

Hawaii Travel Guide Hawaii Travel Guide Places of Power, History, Mystery & Magic Written & Illustrated by Ellie and William Crowe Exploring Lost Hawaii takes the reader on an intriguing pilgrimage into Hawaii's past. It skillfully weaves a collection of stories that are both beautiful yet dark, mysterious and supernatural, and always fascinating. In Exploring Lost Hawaii , Ellie Crowe and William Crowe have created a unique and informative guidebook that provides a tour of Hawaii never seen by most visitors - and even many locals. Covering all of the major Hawaiian Islands, this book takes an unexpected route away from that of the traditional guidebook. The result is a journey into the lands of the Hawaii of old - places of powerful alii, wise kahuna, sacred heiau, and mysterious menehune. Sites of historical and cultural significance on each island are described in detail, and directions are given to each site. Exploring Lost Hawaii will take you on a journey through a Hawaii that will not be easily forgotten. Excerpts from Columnist Bob Krauss' ReviewHonolulu Advertiser, Saturday April 28, 2001 "...a laudable purpose, introducing visitors to Hawaiian culture by viewing ancient sites...A good deal of research went into this book, and Ellie Crowe cites her sources. In addition, she adds her personal experiences at the sites, or that of someone who lives nearby. It's an effective technique that bridges the gap between ancient culture and today. William Crowe consistently finds a way with light and perspective to take dramatic photos of heiau ruins, healing stones and bare lava carved with petroglyphs. This isn't easy." About the Writer & Photographer Ellie and William Crowe have explored every continent and lived in Australia, South Africa, and the U.S.A. Islands are their favorite places. For the last twelve years they have traveled the Hawaiian Islands and read extensively about Hawaii's history and legends. They are members of the Hawaiian Historical Society. Ellie is an author whose books include Little Princess Kaiulani in Her Garden by the Sea and The Littlest Paniolo . A commercial real estate broker and photographer, William holds liberal arts and law degrees from the University of Sydney, Australia. He is president of Regent Asset Management Inc., an investment and management company.

Hawaiian cruise is the

Hawaiian Cruise, Hawaii Cruises, Hawaiian Island Cruise, Cruises to Hawaii Home > Destinations > North America > United States > Hawaii > Hawaii Cruise Hawaii Cruise The Hawaiian Island chain consists of eight major islands and over 120 minor reefs and islands, so a Hawaiian cruise is the best way to explore the channels and waterways that intersect the islands. There are four primary islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui are the most popular sites that tourists will be visiting on their Hawaii cruise. Oahu Island Region This region includes the area around Oahu Island. There are numerous bays, reefs, and whale watching areas in this region, as well as port visits to the massively popular Honolulu. The Big Island Region The Hawaii Island region is highly popular as a Hawaiian Island cruise destination, as there are numerous endangered species, the Volcanoes, and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This destination has port stops so you can visit the small villages around the Island, as well as see the volcanoes more up close. Whale watching, and excursions more inaccessible regions, can be enjoyed in addition to these cruises to Hawaii. The Maui Island Region Hawaii Cruises to this region tend to have layovers of several days, so that you can enjoy the water sporting fun that this energetic island has to offer. Cruises to the Maui region will port in one of the major cities on Island for several days. When in port, you can choose to go diving with one of the many charters in the region. This activity takes time to prepare, however, so you may want to choose to forgo diving unless you are already an experienced diver and do not need any training. All three of the primary regions have excellent spots to enjoy Snuba and Scuba Diving. When planning a Hawaiian Cruise, you will want to make certain you arrive during a time where whale watching is possible. While dolphins are around most of the time, the whales migrate, so they are only seen in Hawaii during the winter months. There are many different types of Cruises to Hawaii, ranging over various lengths of time. They tend to range from one to three weeks, which allows you to see many areas of the islands and spend a notable amount of time in port. If you want to stay for a longer period of time, you will need to contact your Travel Agent and inquire about one-way trips on different cruises. When in port, you may choose to go sailing with a charter to places that your cruise does not go. As there are many reefs and other islands in the area, your Hawaiian cruise will not visit them all. Each of the three regions have many different Hawaiian golf courses that you can visit. When you have several days in port, this is a good way to see some of the most beautiful parts of the island while indulging in a fun game and hobby. When taking a Hawaiian Island cruise, your trip will not be complete without indulging in a Hawaiian Luau. All of the primary regions have Luaus, although the best ones are on Maui and Oahu Islands. contact us | advertising with us | content licensing | privacy policy | terms of use | help (C) 2004 Destination360 All Rights Reserved Hawaii Map Select a region North America Central America South America Caribbean Hawaii Overview When to Go Events and Holidays Top 10 things to do Hawaiian History Interisland Flight Flights to Hawaii Hawaiian Islands Oahu Maui The Big Island Kauai Destinations Waikiki Hawaii Volcano Park Nai Pali Coast Waimea Canyon Pearl Harbor Hana Highway Hawaii Hotels Oahu Hotels Maui Hotels Big Island Hotels Kauai Hotels Travel Resources ATV Tours in Hawaii Hawaii Cruises Hawaiian Dinner Cruise Hawaiian Car Rental Hawaii Diving Golfing Helicopter Tour Luau Sailing Snorkeling Snuba Surfing Hawaii Weather Weddings Wedding Photographer
