Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Directs you into the great outdoors; the information on trekking, canoeing, wildlife refuges, golf courses is well researched. -- The Sunday Telegraph
From the Publisher
"These useful guides are highly recommended... " Library Journal
This signature Hunter series targets travelers eager to explore the destination. Extensively researched and
offering the very latest information, Adventure Guides are written by knowledgeable, experienced authors.
The focus is on outdoor activities - hiking, biking, rock climbing, horseback riding, downhill skiing,
parasailing, scuba diving, backpacking, and waterskiing, among others - and these user-friendly books
provide all the details you need, including prices. The best local outfitters are listed, along with contact
numbers, addresses and recommendations. A comprehensive introductory section provides background on
history, geography, climate, culture, when to go, transportation and planning. These very readable guides
then take a region-by-region approach, plunging into the very heart of each area and the adventures offered,
giving a full range of accommodations, shopping, restaurants for every budget, and festivals. All books have
town and regional maps; some have color photos. Fully indexed.

Adventure Guide to Anguilla, Antigua, St. Barts, St. Kitts,,
By David Williams (Overland Park, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Anguilla, Antigua, St. Barts, St. Kitts, St. Martin: Including Sint Maarten, Barbuda & Nevis (Adventure Guide to Anguilla, Antigua, St Barts, St Kitts & St Martin) (Paperback)
I am sorry but this was worthless. All the information in this book is on the internet. This book brings no value to a traveler going to any of these locations.

Buy Frommers or Fodors instead,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adventure Guide to Anguilla, Antigua, St. Barts, St. Kitts, St. Martin: Including Sint Maarten, Barbuda & Nevis (Adventure Guide to Anguilla, Antigua, St Barts, St Kitts & St Martin) (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this guide book. I've bought a lot of guidebooks and have never seen one as general as this one. The information contained in Fodors or Frommers big Carribean books give better coverage to St. Kitts which is what I was interested in learning about.

This review is from: Adventure Guide to Anguilla, Antigua, St. Barts, St. Kitts, St. Martin: Including Sint Maarten, Barbuda & Nevis (Adventure Guide to Anguilla, Antigua, St Barts, St Kitts & St Martin) (Paperback)
I read the review that said this book was worthless and chose to ignore it - mistake! You can definitely find all of this information, plus a whole lot more, via the few websites and message boards about Anguilla. Buy a book to read on your trip instead!
