In the age of internet, lot of information may be obtained from the state of Hawaii (government web sources), AAA and many other sources on the web, but this book is good for a quick reference.

It's true that they lack the long, thorough reviews that you find in some guidebooks, but I prefer the brevity of Lonely Planet's approach. They include lots of current information and a mercifully brief overview of the history & culture of the subject locale. Their books are well illustrated and logically laid out. They're also pretty durable, which can be handy on a trip. Rating: - Your best friend for planning a trip to HawaiiNo more excuses, I am going to take the family to Hawaii. This guide is terrific. We are looking to do a "ecotourist" type of trip, with snorkeling, surfing, and visiting the Volcano. It provides me the information I need for vital planning. The guide is organized simply to find the essential data on what,where, how, $$$ and is filled with well written reviews and interviews of locals. I feel very comfortable planning my trip with this guide. Recommended.
