Customer Ratings:

• Can t wait to go!. As promised, this is an insider s guide to all things Kauai. While the Fodor s version is quite good (better than most Fodor s), this one gives you a real feel of what to expect and what to look for when traveling to the island. Can t beat the price, either.
• See it like a native!. Would you like to go to a beach where you can drive for miles and miles and see no one at all? Do you want to go have noodle saimin for cheap that is world-class (the locals go there)? The author obviously knows her stuff. We did over a dozen of the suggested activities, and quickly figured out to follow her food recommendations, and we were delighted. In general, what we got was the real experience, not one that had been plasticized for tourists. If you like to travel in a way where you can appeal to your sense of exploration and cultural immersion, this guide is a no-brainer. Thank you so much for enriching our month in Hawaii!!
• No worries. Just returned from a fabulous 10 days in Kauai. We purchased and studied several guidebooks before our trip and took them all along with us. However, this was our go to book. It is like a friend had just returned and given us all their favorite places. And we cannot say enough about Hanalei and west of. Narrow your visit and no worries!
• Include this one on your list. There are two guides that pretty much cover the field for a visit to Kauai. Although I don t have this edition, Kauai Underground has always provided very reliable information about the kinds of things visitors commonly do in Kauai - eat at restaurants, go to the beach, etc. Maybe it s just accident, but I find over and over again that I agree with Lenore and Mira s recommendations. What inspired me to write this is that the 18th ed identifies Kalihiwai as a great family beach. It is! And few people seem to realize that. These guys know what they are talking about!
  
  Incidentally, the other can t do without is Kauai revealed, which is absolute tops for the OTHER side of the equation: hiking, sports, adventures, etc. from a truly knowledgable perspective.
  
  Take em both because both are tops on different aspects of the island.
• Good Guide to Kaua i. I bought 3 books on Kaua i and I ranked this one second behind Kaua i Revealed. This is a good guide with many good pointers, but lacks detailed directions on how to get to some places. I have been to Kaua i now 3 times and I am looking for new places to explore. All in all, this is a good buy for the money.
