Explore Big Islands & Honolulu: A Clear Guide for Travelers

Lena Solstice

This is the only Hawaii guidebook you'll need-simple, clear, and full of real, trusted advice from someone who truly knows the islands.
Have you ever landed in a tropical place, only to waste half your trip figuring out what's actually open, what's really worth your time, or how to get there without stress? Do you dream of Hawaii, but feel overwhelmed by blogs filled with fluff or closed-down spots that no longer exist?
Lena Solstice has done all the hard work so you don't have to.
After years of walking the lava fields, tasting real poke from roadside diners, asking locals where to find the freshest Kona coffee, and fact-checking every hike, beach, and farmer's market-this book is the result. It's a real traveler's handbook, built on the ground, not copied from the internet.
Imagine yourself standing on a quiet cliffside lookout on Big Island, watching lava glow beneath a purple sunset. Picture wandering the early-morning Hilo market with $10 in your hand, knowing exactly which vendor sells real hand-pounded poi. Or sitting in a quiet Honolulu diner with no tourist crowds, just the scent of fresh malasadas and your map in hand, with today's plan already sorted.
You don't need dozens of sites open on your phone.
You just need one book you can trust.
