Best guidebook for Hawaii

Hi, kids!

I have a friend who is going to Hawaii with her husband (both professionals in their mid-forties) for 7-10 days. They want this to be the trip of a lifetime, so cost is really no object.

Which guidebooks are best for these folks?

Thanks!
Linds

Thanks, Oregonmom! I'll pass that info along.

Any others? She bought the Frommer's guide, but it sounds like it didn't really spark her interest.

Thanks,
Linds

The Kaua'i Underground guide would be helpful if they are going to Kaua'i. Fodors guides for Hawaii rate a big fat zero in my book. They are boring, just like this forum now.

Linds, as far as I'm concerned, no guidebook beats Frommers for good basic, up-to-date info on Hawaii. You can almost always depend on their info, unlike some of their competitors ... Along with Frommers, I like the "Revealed" series.

'Oahu Revealed' and 'Driving & Discovering Hawaii, OAHU Honolulu & Waikiki' are both good.

Here is a thread with a lot of things to do on Oahu. Many of the website in the thread are good for all islands. Some of the sites will send free brochures.

Here is a good Maui site that you can print some or all of the info:
