Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best Guidebook EverI've read and studied scores - perhaps hundreds - of guidebooks to various places I have visited over the years, and never have I found one as enjoyable or useful as The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook. We bought our copy, the 5th edition, before leaving Ohio for Kauai. It was an excellent investment which greatly enhanced our trip. Written by Kauai residents, Andrew Doughty and Harriett Friedman, the book is locally published by Wizard Publications, Inc. in Lihue. This ultimate guide tells of so many places neglected by other guide books that it would take months to explore them all. There's lots of practical detail, the kind of stuff you could only get from a savvy local with a sense of adventure The book is written in a very engaging ... Read More: Rating: - The Ultimate for sureThis was definitely the ultimate guidebook. It helps you eliminate the places that you may not want to go to, and allows you to go to as many of the best places that you have time for. Also great for describing where to park, how to avoid lots of traffic/people. We were able to do everything we wanted to while viewing the whole island with the guidebook. Rating: - Ultimate Kauai Guidebook & Maui RevealedThought you'd like to know another great use for the "Ultimate Guides" by Doughty & Friedman - SOUVENIRS OF YOUR TRIP! I buy quantities of The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook & Maui Revealed, and automatically send them out to family & friends who I invite to come stay with me on these islands. I encourage EVERY VISITOR to "do their homework" by reading these books before you go. It is THE GUIDE BIBLE and indispensible for finding most of the "hidden" i.e. BEST spots on Kauai, and some of the still "unknown" spots on Maui. Believe me, without the Ultimate Guide, you WILL NOT FIND MOST beaches, trails, waterfalls, swim holes, hieus (temples) or other natural attractions. My favorite feature are the maps ... Read More: Rating: - Wish Every Destination Had a Guidebook Like This+ The reviews are written for the average tourists, not for some choice travel editors. For example, the conventional guidebooks' dining guide consists mainly of large/hip restaurants and hotel restaurants. Ultimate Kauai also tells you about roadside stands, take-out places, and "plastic paper & picnic table" kind of places. Very helpful for quick meals and we had some best food in such places. + This one tells you which sights/restaurant/tour/hotel/etc are great and which are not and why that is so. The brutally honest review is so helpful. + It's very easy and fun to read. To me, reading guidebooks is usually equivalent to studying text-books (I don't enjoy it but I must study it). But I actually enjoyed ... Read More: Rating:  - Trustworthy / Worth the PurchaseThis guidebook really is in it's own category compared to other travel books. Doughty and Friedman actually live on Kauai, and really try to help people see all of the island for themselves. What is incredibly helpful about the book: 1) They give you straight up advice on who to use for helicoptor tours, kayak adventures, horseback riding, etc. If you don't know you will simply default to whoever has the best and biggest ad at the Safeway store. (which you can do at your own risk) 2) They give legit, albeit short, reviews about places to eat & sleep. 3) They tell you where to stay, and more importantly, what the accomodations will be like. They are usually dead on with their recommendations, because, again, ... Read More: |
