Summary: Gift subscription
Comment: I started receiving this magazine two years ago. It was a gift from a friend who knew I was always dreaming of Hawaii. The quality of the magazine articles has declined a little (articles too short), perhaps because much of the same information can be read on the internet. "alternativeHawaii" is a good site so is TripAdvisor.
I get much more out of the Trailblazer Travel Book series that I own. My Hawaii Big Island Trailblazer and Oahu Trailblazer are my best friends when I touch ground.

Summary: Excellent mag for those snowy days and vacation plans
Comment: We get to the Big Island a lot since we have family there. This mag has great articles on all the Islands. It has places you've been for the memories and places you haven't been yet for planning your trip. Ads so you can order that item from that store that you wished you had bought right then but the flight was leaving so soon. Plus lots of great rental ads in the way back. Going condo or rental house is definitely the way to see the islands. But I wouldn't knock the hotels either.

Summary: Good Magazine Covering All Aspects Of The Hawaiian Islands
Comment: "Hawaii" is a magazine devoted to covering all aspects of Hawaii, and as such is oriented less toward tourists and more toward residents than many other publications. The magazine covers current events in Hawaii, environmental issues on the islands, and features many cultural and heritage-oriented articles that many tourists will find of only passing interest.
Every issue has a useful events calendar for all the islands individually ("Kauai Happenings," etc.) The editors are very good to cover all the islands equitably, with as much emphasis on Kauai as Oahu, for instance. Despite the seeming focus on residents, there are many articles of interest to visitors, and numerous advertisements of great use to tourists as well.
I enjoy visiting Hawaii and find the magazine to be worthwhile, and actually enjoy the fact that it isn't focused exclusively on the tourist; the things I learn from "Hawaii" magazine help me to more fully appreciate the beauty and nuance of all the islands. I recommend "Hawaii" to anyone interested in knowing more about America's most tropical state.

Summary: Living in and Learning About America's Island State
Comment: Hawaii Magazine is a very good publication for those who have an interest in America's fiftieth state. This magazine brings the world of the Hawaiian Islands to your home every month, with facts, figures, and photos taken from this island chain paradise.
One thing about Hawaii Magazine that is different from what you might expect is that it covers more than just travel. When I read this publication for the first time, I was surprised at the contents within. I always assumed this was a magazine solely about travel and tourism. While travel, resorts, and related topics are an important part of this magazine, they are not the only part. The rest of Hawaii Magazine deals with cultural and native topics. It lets you discover the people who inhabit these islands. You get to learn about Hawaiian customs, holidays, art, dress, and culture.
With the emphasis on culture, Hawaii Magazine is a learning experience. The people responsible for the publication of this magazine want readers to come away with a better understanding of what it means to be Hawaiian and to live in this island chain. They want you to think of Hawaii as more than just a nice, warm, sunny place to visit. They want you to learn about the people that inhabit Hawaii: How they dress, how they celebrate events, how they interact with others, etc.
If I had to name a few cons to this magazine, they would have to be the publications short length (less than 100 pages per issue) and its infrequent publication (every two months). Other than these negative aspects, most everything else about this magazine makes it worthwhile to read. It's an educational lesson on the people and the lifestyle of those we call Hawaiian.
