This is a great insider's book to visiting Hawaii. I will be moving to Hawaii soon, and it wasn't quite as helpful as I'd hoped for facts about living there, but it isn't designed for that. It is definitely a must have for anyone planning to visit the island of Oahu. Although, I know these authors have also written books about the other islands too.

We just got back from Oahu. Before we left this book helped us choose a terrific hotel. While we were there it was our bible. Our other guidebook was less useful. The only thing missed was the terrific farmers markets where we bought locally grown produce. Overall, I thank the authors very much.

Before our second trip to Oahu I bought this book and what a difference it made. We found so many things that we never knew were there the first time. Very easy to read, has great directions and descritions.

After having been recommended this book, I purchased it prior to my trip and am glad I did. It is very comprehensive, yet easy to read as the authors flow the topics smoothly. I have planned what I want to do and know where to go to do it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get out and off the beaten path. It holds a wealth of information most people would overlook or not know where to find.

Wow! What can I say? This is by far the best guide book I have ever used. It was my BIBLE for my recent Hawaii trip (12/2006). Everything in here is up-to-date, from kayaking trips in Kailua to snorkeling to eating shaved ice in the North Shore at Aoki's and Matsumotos, this book has it all! It really should be the official travel book for Oahu but I'm afraid the "hidden secrets" it reveals will become too popular! For around $11, it's such a bargain! It is apparent to me that the author has really LIVED the book as they detailed everything you will ever want to explore on the island. With this book, I avoided paying hundreds of dollars to tour companies for simple hiking trips to Manoa Falls, Diamond Head, North Shore and Pearl Harbor. Instead, with it and a rental car for the week, I explored all the spots at my own leisure, and I don't even feel like I missed out on the description and history of the places I missed by not going with a tour guide because this book has it ALL! I just can't say enough good things about it. Absolutely amazing! I tend not to be a homer when it comes to reviews, but this time I really do feel compelled to spill my true feelings, it is kind of strange to be so passionate about a guidebook, but trust me, it is THAT good.
P.S. The picture of the book on Amazon really does it no justice at all. The paper is thick and glossy and the print quality is A+, plus there are so many great pictures in here that it could serve as a souvenier for your trip! Also, I bought the Big Island Revealed book from the same authors and it is every bit as good!
One thing though, Polynesian Culture Center and their Ali'i Luau are total rip-offs, I don't know why the author liked it so much. Avoid it at all costs! I've seen people having seizures that move better than those so called Luau dancers at Ali'i. Shame on them for advertising as the "most authentic" luau on Oahu. Shameful...
