Insight Guides Hawaii

by Scott Rutherford

A travel series unlike any other, Insight Guides go beyond the sights and into reality. Their incomparable photojournalistic approach captures the uniqueness of each culture they cover: their traditions, their arts, their history, their lives. The stunning photography is married to compelling text, written by local writers; the people most qualified to convey their culture's "secrets".Yes, Insight Guides will tell you which attractions to visit, but they'll also tell you a whole lot more. From the most popular resort cities to the world's most remote and exotic villages, Insight Guides will give you the insider's perspective you need to truly experience any destination you visit.

Insight Guides serve many purposes. They are ideal for planning a trip. And, they're wonderful souvenirs to treasure for years after. Even the armchair traveler can be swept away by their magnificent content and experience the world from the comfort of home.

Many international and domestic and domestic destinations also offer companion FlexiMaps, an innovative laminated folding map specially designed for the discriminating traveler.

I was unable to finish this book due to outside influences.

I thought this was a good overview of the islands, the history and what there is to do and see. I also have their Alaska book and I felt that there Alaska book was better as that book pointed out the must see activities. The Hawaii book mostly covered everything and didn't point much out as must see. I also purchased a travel book for each island we are going to visit, "(Insert Island name) Revealed" and I found those to have much better information. Overall this is a good starting point for your vacation research.

OK, our trip to Hawaii was great@ This was a very helpful book - a good guide to all of the islands. Heavy on tourist spots, not that there's anything wrong with that, but our trip had a more active focus. Good descriptions of short hikes to waterfalls and beaches included.
