Hawaii's Best Kept Secrets book - Flame Tree Publishing

The best-kept secrets of Hawaii  are showcased by this stunning American state, located in perfect isolation in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, over 3,000 km (2,000 miles) from the nearest neighbor, divided into easily digestible sections, taking you on a journey through the windward islands of the group – from lush Kauai (“The Garden Isle”), mountainous Maui (“The Valley Isle”), and the Big Island of Hawaii (“The Orchid Isle”), to the refined O’ahu (“Place of Gathering”) and the small gems of Lāna'i and Moloka'i.

Discover the abundance of waterfalls, from the striking Waimoku Falls in Haleakalā National Park to the postcard-perfect Rainbow Falls in Wailuku River State Park; contrast the rocky red canyon of Waimea with the shimmering rain-green of the state's highest peak, Mount Wai'ale'ale; imagine wandering through the steaming lush Iao Valley or rollerblading at the top surfing spot, Hamoa Beach; experience the tranquil beauty of Hawaii’s Tropical Botanical Garden or the raw, unstable side of nature represented by the active shield volcano Kīlauea, one of many volcanoes that formed the islands; immerse yourself in the cultural history of Pu'uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historic Park or enjoy the modern yet idyllic city of Honolulu – the list is endless. The very diversity contained within these beautiful islands offers something for everyone.
