From the Back Cover

Tired of the same old tourist traps? Take the road less traveled and uncover the hidden attractions, unique finds, and unusual locales other guidebooks just don’t offer. Off the Beaten Path® features the things you’d want to see—if only you knew about them! From the best in local dining to quirky cultural tidbits, you’ll say over and over again: “I didn’t know that!”
Discover a different side of the Aloha State! Pay respect to the 700-pound crystal shivalingam and experience a daily puja (purification ritual) at Kauai’s Hindu Monastery. Follow Jack London’s trail on Kalae Stables’ “world-famous Molokai mule ride” to Kalaupapa Peninsula. Or dine on a “plate lunch,” the quintessential meal of Hilo, at Cafe 100, the city’s first drive-in. So if you’ve “been there, done that” one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.

this is a good book to looking for out of the way places, along with listing of the main tourist sites. Nice as it is broken down by geographic areas on each island, so it makes easy to plan your day trips.

I love off the beaten path books, BUT THIS ONE DID NOT GET OFF THE TRAVELED ROAD. No insite to remote places that you can not get for free on several websites. I can go to VituralTourist.com or Tripadvisor.com and get the info in this book for free. Usually you get information in these books you can not received other places. Little known sites, hideaways,etc. None in this one.
