This book is fantastic! Andrew and Harriet provide local insight and direct the reader to the BEST spots on Kauai. There are no pulled punches. If a place is a dump, they say so. If it is overpriced, they say so. You won't find "cookie cutter" reviews here. The maps and mile markers shown on the maps are extremely accurate and helpful. Restaraunt reviews are right on. If you want the "standard" tour guide type of book, look elsewhere. If you want to see the Kauai most of the tourists miss, GET THIS BOOK! If you are going to the Big Island of Hawaii, they have another book for that island - get it too!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! This book is the best! It was heads above any of the other guide books for Kaua'i I had purchased for our trip. The majority of the reviews and descriptions are right on and we appreciated the detailed maps. In addition to general touring we used the Activities and Adventure sections extensively. There are some great suggestions for outdoor enthusiasts. We also used the guide to select a SCUBA dive company to certify us while we were on Kaua'i. The recommendation for the company OceanQuest was completely accurate. George and Jeanette have wonderful senses of humor and are fabulous with beginnners. I heard that the 3rd edition is coming out soon. I can't wait to buy it.

We were on a vacation with a number of people from the company that I work at, and we were so far ahead with this book that everyone thought we had been to Kauai before. It is wonderful, especially the info on helicopter rides, the beaches and Shave Ice!!!

In 1995 we found this book to match extremely well to the experiences we had on the island. It was much more helpful than two other guide books we had. We just got the 1996 edition to plan for another trip to the island and it is improved over the wonderful 1994 edition. We are buying 12 copies to send to our friends and family

You will know more than the locals after reading this book. The title says it all

All those little things you end up wishing you knew, you'll now know before you go.

It's a great place to visit, but this guy _lives_ there!
