What is worth pointing out

Corrections, above everything. A bus route is renamed, a reservation system changes, a trail closes, a museum rearranges its galleries. If you have just been and something here did not match, that is worth more than any amount of desk research.

Especially useful: anything about arriving and moving around, such as the airport buses, the Skyline rail line as new sections open, and the reservation rules at Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay and Pearl Harbor, which are the parts of this guide most likely to go stale.

What this is not for

It is not a booking service. This site sells nothing and books nothing, and cannot get you a room, a table, a ticket or a place on a palace tour; those are booked with the operators themselves.

It cannot tell you what something costs or when it opens: no price or opening time appears anywhere on this site, because the operator is the only source that is right on the day. For ocean conditions, ask the lifeguard on the beach; for emergencies, call the emergency services.

Sacred places and history

If a page describes a place, a tradition or a piece of the islands' history in a way that is wrong or disrespectful, that matters here too, and it will be corrected.

Photographs

Every photograph on this site is credited beside it, and every credit links to the file's own page on Wikimedia Commons, where its author, its license and its history are recorded.

Photographs are replaced when a better or more recent one of the same place turns up, and captions are corrected when they describe the frame wrongly.
