Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The finest guidebook ever written for Kauai and the only one written by writers who anonymously review the island. They visit every beach, restaurant, activity and trail on the island. The result is this comprehensive, humorous and easy-to-read full color guide that will lead you to more adventures than any other book. A must for travelers.

Review:

The finest guidebook ever written for Kauai. This brand new sixth edition has more useful information, the most up to date maps and scores of hidden gems listed nowhere else. This book and a rental car are all you need to discover what makes the Garden Island so special.

Maps include beach access to even the most remote beaches, mile markers so you always know where you are, hiking trails and numerous details in an easy to follow format.

Symbols quickly identify recommended sights and companies. This book shows you which companies really are the bestàand which to avoid.

Special expanded sections on Activities, Hiking and Adventures.

Clear, concise directions to get to those hard to find places.

Web site with links to every business, last minute updates, events calendar and more. Plus Web pages that expand on all accommodation reviews with aerial photos of all the resorts (so you'll know if oceanfront really means oceanfront).

Written by Kauai residents who know the island.

Frank, honest opinions from anonymous reviews—No advertisements.

They've covered it all—from the top of Wai[ale[ale to the sparkling underwater reefs. This is the best investment you can make for your trip to Kauai. Whether you are a first time visitor, or a long time kama[aina, you will find out more about the Garden Island from this book than from any other source.

Synopsis:

Hailed by the "New York Times" as a must for any serious traveler and "Cond Nast" as "the best Kaua'i guidebook," this humorous and easy-to-use sixth edition reveals even more hidden gems, including a 68-page activities chapter, and a unique adventures section. Anonymous reviews are written by an island resident.

A very commercial book that capitalizes on shallow observations. Their depictions of places do not match the actual destinations. Beaches they describe as pristine are littered with garbage and car tracks. Kauai deserves better. ----a resident of the island

Several published quotes atest to this book's usefulness and quality. They are all true. I used this book on my first trip to Kaua'i and it was by far the best of the books I brought with me. The place that we stayed had 2 copies on it's bookshelf! The authors are meticulous in their research, accept no advertising, are brutally honest (and accurate) in their reviews - both positive and negative, and have the knowledge and cultural awareness of those who have lived there for a long time. Other guides will tell you about the high-dollar resorts and activities that, frankly, could be found anywhere in the world. This book tells you how to go about finding the true Kaua'i and the true aloha spirit for yourself through adventure and exploration. The authors also let you know that things change rather quickly, and that they are prepared to help you keep up with this change by providing a great web site that has updates to the published volumes - for free! If you have only one book along with you, this is the one you need.
