This opening fold-out contains a general map of Hawaii to help you visualize the way the islands are explored in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
...and this little guidebook is dog-eared from use! Fabulous fold-out maps, easy to read, with places to see highlighted for easy reference. Includes suggestions on where to eat and shop, depending on the area you're touring in. Includes all of the islands, but Oahu's maps cover each major section of the island and make trip planning easier for tourists like me who "do-it-yourself" by renting a car instead of taking pre-planned tours. Small, compact size was easy to carry around in my purse, and inconspicuous enough to not shout "hey, here's a tourist!" whenever I pulled it out for a quick consultation. I really loved this little book, and will recommend it to any of my friends who are lucky enough to travel to those beautiful islands in the future.
Good Overview/Snapshot

We were only going to one island (Maui), but this is a great, quick overview of all the islands. I was surprised at the hidden "gems" the guide found (for example, it mentioned Sam Sato's for lunch). It doesn't go into great detail, or offer "suggested itineraries" like other guides, but it's a good starting point.
More than just travel guide filled with lots of text.

I am very pleased with this book for a number of reasons. Many other books are just too big to carry around with you and take up too much space in your luggage. This book is very compact, which makes it highly portable. in addition it is more than just another travel guide, as it is jammed packed with map after map after map. These maps fold out and cover almost every part of the Hawaiian Islands. Also this guide has listings for such things, as restaurants, museums, and shopping. Out of the three travel guides that I have boughten or received on Hawaii this is one that most likely will accompany me on my upcoming trip to Hawaii.
