It's good, but there are better books

The good thing about this book is that it talks about many of the scenic sites and other things that you can do for free. It's also good about telling you about historic societies and museums where you can find history of the culture. But most of the sites they mention are listed in the the other books that I have (Maui Revealed and The Big Island Revealed). These two books cover much more information, and cover the same information as this book, but in more detail. For instanace, this book will tell you that there's a legend associated with a certain place, and make a small mention of it, but the Revealed books explain it more. I didn't find anything in here that I didn't see in my other books. It's a good book, but unfortunately someone out-did it.

Nice resource

I got this book for my mom, who was planning a trip to Hawaii. She has been before, so I thought she might want to see some of the "off the beaten path" sights, instead of the usual tourist stuff. There were a lot of interesting things in the book, though it wasn't as in depth as I was hoping for. Definitely worth taking a look at - I plan on borrowing it before my own trip to Hawaii. :)
