 Very complete book March 6, 2010
George Nonomura (San Francisco, CA USA)
This book gives very complete details of the Island. Maps, trails, sights, seasons and local knowledge of areas. Some of this information may concern local customs and some many be of important safety issues. It also gives information about the weather. An easy to read guidebook.
 Excellent Maps but the info was a little dated March 6, 2010
P. Thorne (Upland, CA, USA)
The maps in this guide book are invaluable to the Kauai traveler. The written sightseeing, activity and dining information was not as accurate as the Lonely Planet guide (which we also purchased.) The book has a website with "updates" but there are still errors and omissions in this book. We ate at a restaurant that this book "panned" and had an excellent experience; we thoroughly enjoyed a Na'pali coast sunset sail with Kauai Sea Tours (this books last choice) et cetera. We used both books to create our own experience - not blindly following the recommendations of one guide.
My overall recommendation - buy the book for the maps but follow your own instincts when exploring Kauai, form your own opinions, make your own choices and have a wonderful experience.
Don't Leave Home Without It! March 5, 2010
The Santiam Bookseller (Gates, OR)
We would never go to any island in Hawaii without these guys' books. They are well-researched, honest and easy to use. We have found little out-of-the-way perfect beaches that we'd have missed otherwise. They are fabulous!
Our Bible on vacation March 5, 2010
C. Meier (Colorado)
This guidebook has the best information and we took it everywhere on our vacation. It was our Bible to Kauai!
