HERE ARE, says Rick Carroll, many tourists who go to
Hawaii, sit on Waikiki beach, slap on the 15
sunscreen, order a mai-tai and stare out to sea.

It’s a great view, but for Carroll
it's not enough. Carroll prefers to
be doing something in the great
outdoors, to be around erupting
volcanoes, emerald rainforests,
coral sand beaches, waterfalls,
lagoons and sunsets. Where the
adventure is.

In Great Outdoor Adventures in
Hawaii, Carroll tells you how to
ski Mauna Kea, or find hidden
beaches and even the perfect

wave. He knows how to get to
Niihau, the ‘forbidden island,”
and the best snorkelling spots.

After reading this book you may
want to cycle down Haleakala, all
10,000 feet of it, although he tells
what it's like to cycle up as well.

But it’s not all gung-ho stuff.
Carroll has good advice on where
to stay, what to eat and how to
travel adventurously and cheaply,
like going all the way around

His sharp eye for fun things to
do is matched by a light and lively
writing style. But then Carroll has
the right credentials for the job,

Hawaii.

When he’s not adventuring
around the Pacific he’s at home in
a lovely house on Lanikai Beach.
He and his wife Marcia have ac-
commadations for bed and
breakfast guests there, so if you’re
ever hang-gliding around the
coast, drop in.
