Customer Reviews

Great guide book.

Very well written and informative. Helped to make a lot of decisions as to where to stay and what to do on our upcoming Hawaiian vacation.

Planned a perfect trip

I could not imagine a better trip than the one I planned to Maui with the help of this book. It pointed me to the best activities for my money and advised that I spend some time in Hana. So, I spent half my trip there and am very, very thankful for that advice.

Outstanding help

I relied on this book heavily for advice while I honeymooned in Hawaii and it delivered. It was comprehensive and informative. I would recommend it to all vacationers who like a packed, encompassing, and active vacation

THE SOURCE for Travel Info

I recently purchased this book for an 11 day cruise to several Hawaiian islands. I have been to Hawaii multiple times and have visited almost every island (except Molokai) and have done much of the typical Hawaii recommended locations. I was looking for something with off the beaten trail type recommendations, and as expected, Frommers came through. I toured several botanical gardens which were out of the way, but excellent. A MUST HAVE for people who have never been to the islands, or those returning who are looking for something new and exciting. Lots of good recommendations for reservations on the Internet prior to leaving which will save you lots in onsite costs if you are traveling or cruising. The savings alone if you are planning a week trip will cover the cost of the book!

Ultimate

If you go anywhere, you'll have to get Frommer's books! They say all there is too say. Fantastic and a good vacation tool!
