Synopses & Reviews
Regarded by many visitors as the most beautiful island of Hawaii, Kauai is currently receiving an awesome number of pleasure-seeking tourists, who delight in its fauna, flora and other wonders of nature. This
ShortCut Guide to Kauai, confined to essential facts, covers both the sights and the practicalities, and squeezes in a surprising amount of recommendations for lodging, dining, sightseeing, sea sports, sea-bathing and relaxation. Authors of the book are natives of Hawaii, who have responded to the challenge of conveying advice that is easily and quickly consulted and yet colorfully described. It is a standout in the
Frommer's travel series.
