Michele Bigley's account of Kauai was well researched and incredibly thorough. I spent six months on Kauai, but, this book made me realize that I had barely scratched the surface on Kauai's deep and rich history. In addition, Bigley leads you to 'off the beaten path' beaches and sites that show a part of Kauai most tourists never see. Highly recommend this book.

Great Book on Kauai, Feb 6 2009

This review is from: Great Destinations Kauai (Paperback)
Excellent book for planning a trip to Kauai. The book includes many maps, pictures and 13 page section on the history of the island. The author obviously has a great love for the island and this sets the book apart from many travel books which often just become lists of things to do without much thought put into it. Reading this book, on the other hand, you get the feeling of being guided by someone who really cares about, and knows, the island.
All the phone numbers and addresses for restaurants, hotels, museums, etc. are there -- but it's the little details (e.g. the highlighting of more out of the way spots, the historical and cultural detail) that really sets this book apart from the others. Highly recommended.

Great Guide Book, Jan 30 2009

I can't recommend this book enough. I've been to Kauai several times and thought I'd seen and done it all, but this book shows me that I haven't. I'm going again this spring and can't wait to check out all of these great recommendations! Also, there's not a lot of info out there with an eco-slant, so it's a refreshing new option.
