Summary: |
"....One of the most captivating places in the Hawaiian Islands. Surprisingly, this oasis of tranquility and tender beauty is on the same island as sophisticated, pulsating Waikiki Beach with all its shops, restaurants and theater venues. Ko Olina's story is Hawaii's story in microcosm, beginning in ancient volcanic upheavals and evolving into one of the rarest natural environments in the world. A colorful cast of characters walked across Ko Olina, a long procession of Hawaiian kings and queens followed by swashbuckling entrepreneurs from across the ocean....
