I usually get one of those "insider guides" or a lonely planet travel guide when I am heading somewhere. I grabbed this one because it was the most current guidebook. I visited three islands and it was actually more helpful than I thought it would be - especially since I had already been on two of those islands.

A great book for a first timer to Hawaii - but only if you are visiting multiple islands. I'd stick with the lonely planet version of the particular island you are v...more

Not as good as Hawaii Revealed but similar

Currently planning a vacation to Hawaii, and this book was great from the very beginning. Up front it offers a handy table to choose your island: are you interested in beaches, nightclubs, golf, scuba diving, snorkeling, hiking, kayaking, etc.? Each island is rated for how much of each activity it has. That helped me immediately narrow my focus to Kauai and the Big Island.

Lots of useful, practical information from people who have been there. This is invaluable.

Fodor's is your typical vacation destination overview and this edition featuring some information about each island was a great way to see them at a glance and narrow down some of our choices as first time visitors.

Terrific guide book - I learned about new things even though I have been to the Big Island quite a few times. Invaluable in coming up with places to eat when randomly wandering or making plans.

I read (truthfully - scanned) this book to find out information about different hotels on the islands. I will more than like re-read it in a different light when I actually go to Hawaii.

Marlene and I are headed to The Big Island next month, I have to do my research, even though Marlene and I both agreed that we weren't going to have a schedule.....don't tell her.....lol

Mine is 2009. It is huge, covers all the islands, and has information on tours. It's a good reference but too big to take with.

Just read sections on Oahu and the Big Island...before our trip to Hawaii.
