Introduction

Hawaiirama.com is the real-time travel guide for the Hawaiian Islands. Have you ever planned a trip to visit a fantastic place and e-mailed a totally clued-in local resident for recommendations? Or do you have a friend that knows all the good places to eat and drink in your city and always sends you the latest? Or a culture maven who tells you what shows are the ones to hit? That’s Hawaiirama — a really long, really helpful note chock full of tips, must-dos, must-sees, and key information you’d never find in a dated, stale guidebook or in a travel article written by a journalist on a press trip. That’s Hawaiirama, the really long note everyone should get before they go to Hawaii or the really great friend who’s in the know. Except we’re a blog.  E Komo Mai!

Hawaiirama F.A.Q.

1. What is Hawaiirama?
   Hawaiirama is a blog about Hawaii. We cover the Islands like a giant beach blanket. We live here and we know Hawaii. Our goal is to make Hawaii more fun and more accessible for everyone, be they a visitor fresh off the plane or a local who was born and raised in the islands. We tell you where to surf, eat, shop, hike, swim, fish, drink, dance, dive and sleep. Since we believe everyone should think of Hawaii as more than just a pretty place, we also tell you about the history, culture, and nature of the most isolated island chain on Earth.
2. Do you accept questions, complaints, corrections and suggestions?*
   Definitely. Direct any communications to tips@hawaiirama.com. We love reader feedback and value your opinions. Tell us what you think, good or bad. Disagree with what we say? Spot an error? Let us know. Want more information on a particular topic? Just ask. We may answer your question in the form of an “Ask Hawaiirama” post.
