    I bought this to take to our first trip to Hawaii - it has all the info you need! Well organized. I wish it had fold out maps because some were a little hard to read because they were a bit small but we got used to it!

    Information in the guide is not what I wanted. All just matter of fact information about hotels and restaurants...boring. Nothing much about culture and nature etc.
    Very small print.

    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2024
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    The book has massively false information on the Nepali Coast in Kawaii. It shouldn’t be sold without a correction. You cannot walk ANY portion of the Nepali Coast without a reservation made well in advance contrary to what this book says.
