The best tour guide book for Hawaii, I bought the whole series. September 30, 2008
This entire set is awesome. I drove over 1,000 miles on the Big Island just exploring the destinations revealed in "The Big Island Revealed". My only caution: the book makes it sound like some remote spots on the islands are ok to visit, when in reality the are private land. I really appreciate the beauty and pristine nature of the islands, and if the public starts visiting some of these areas the land will surely be damaged. Tread lightly, but take this book with you when you go!
Highly Recommend September 15, 2008
I highly recommend this series of guidebooks. This guy really knows what he's talking about. We used the book for Oahu and for Kauai. Never got lost, found everything he talked about. Great books.
The Best Oahu Reference - Bar None September 8, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this book before my trip to Oahu last year, and it is invaluable for anyone planning a trip. I used to live in Oahu, but this book told me things I had no idea about. The organization is superb -- by area, by activity. There are reviews and commentary about a lot of activities, some with pros and cons so you understand what the reviewer was looking at and why it was important to him, and can determine if that review will apply to your feeling as well. The map of the area was really very useful, and helped us get along very well. We had a good idea of where we were at most points, without having to resort to a city map.
This book helped me plan a wonderful Hawaiian trip without the benefit of a travel agent. I knew what I wanted to do, where I wanted to go, and got a lot of useful information that I would not ordinarily have had. Like: directions to sparsely used beaches (all beaches in Hawaii are public) and information on rarely used hikes (we did one. Only saw two people the whole time)
If you're going, you need this well in advance. It is definitely a Must Buy.
Best Guide Books for Hawaii September 7, 2008
The only guide book that gives you current detailed information. They even post updates online between editions. Things tend to be poorly marked in Hawaii and so the mile marker details help get you where you want to be.
Very Good September 3, 2008
This is the second book I have by the author and like the first, I highly recommend it for travel to Oahu.
Very good recommendations that I found accurate and was pleased to make my decision process based on his recommendations, though not with every one of them was perfect. But that is to be expected since alot of decisions are subjective.
It is a good starting point and of course it is fun to go off book and ask around for opinions from people who live there for some other ideas.
