3.0 out of 5 stars Oahu Guidebook, February 15, 2009

This review is from: Frommer's Honolulu & Oahu Day by Day (Frommer's Day by Day - Pocket) (Paperback)

A very good basic guide book to Oahu. Gives many different options in exploring the island. It does repeat a lot of the information and if all the repeated info was taken out of the book would be about half of it's original size. It also lacks bus routes infor in getting to the sites, which would be beneficial.

This review is from: Frommer's Honolulu and Oahu Day by Day (Frommer's Day by Day - Pocket) (Paperback)

I bought this book to help plan my trip to Oahu and after reading it still have no clue. The book is terribly written, it seems to be written as a single persons view rather than a comprehensive view of what Oahu has to offer. My interpretation of the book was basically like reading a long trip report on Tripadvisor. Many tourist sites seemed to be left out.

We had never been to Hawaii so this book provided a great overview. We referenced it a lot while there and it is small enough to carry along with lots of great information. I love that it is broken up into the day to day format so you can prioritize your sightseeing depending on how long you have to stay on the island. Frommer's has done a great job once again.
