Books for Hawaii
 

Is there a equivalent of Rick Steves for Hawaii guide? Looking for books, guides, websites for planning Hawaii trip on a reasonable budget. I found Rick Steves Europe guides very helpful in planning a europe trip on a reasonable budget.

I like the Moon Handbooks (I don't remember the website) and the Kauai and Big Island Revealed/ Ultimate Guidebooks (at wizardpub.com). They give good information for a wide variety of budgets. You an buy them used on amazon.com.

Wizard Publication Guides are the best, in my opinion:<BR><BR>The Big Island Revealed<BR>Maui Revealed<BR>Ultimate Kauai Guide<BR><BR>An Oahu guide is in the works and greatly anticipated.

Agree 100% re Wizardpub books. <BR>There's also a lot of good info on the web e.g.<BR>for Maui: http://members.aol.com/derm1/<BR><BR>Or for Kauai http://www.trykauai.com/<BR><BR>Have fun<BR>

Just got back today and used a book called &quot;Hidden Hawaii&quot; and thought it was great - beaches, cafes, shops, excellent advice.

I too tought the Wizard publications were great and the best I have ever seen. They were very honest and frank with their reviews, what to see, where to eat and stay etc. They were also very funny in spots. I am very much looking forward to the one on Oahu to come out.<BR><BR>Kay
