Description

Taking readers on a journey into Hawaii's fascinating secret places of spiritual and cultural significance, this unique guidebook ventures far beyond the beaches and tourist destinations to places never seen by most visitors, or even many local residents.

Description

"In Exploring Lost Hawai'i, Ellie Crowe and William Crowe have created a unique and informative guidebook that provides a tour of a Hawai'i 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 Hawai'i of old - places of powerful ali'i, 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. The authors provide a great deal of historical information, and they also share their own experiences in visiting these sites and the many stories they collected along the way."--Jacket.
