Since it's creation in 1973, the award-winning Moon Handbooks series has become a top choice among travelers who want a unique experience, a new perspective - and a few new stories to tell. Want to know about your destination's history, culture, and social issues? Looking for the lowdown on recreational opportunities, dining and accommodations options, and the most interesting regional sights and entertainment? No problem. Big or small, mainstream or obscure, every worthwhile detail is included in these books. Moon Handbooks: Kaua'i contains all the information a traveller needs, including: Opinionated reviews of a wide variety of accommodations and dining options, from B&Bs to luxury resorts and from beachside snack shacks to lu'au; An in-depth look at the island's culture and history, along with Hawaiian-language and pidgin phrase guides; Information on outdoors activities, such as surfing the waves of Hanalei Bay, hiking the Kalalau Trail, and deepsea fishing around Ni'ihau; Details on interisland transportation and easy-to-use maps
There may be other travel books that offer glossier photos or more detailed restaurant reviews, but for historical perspective, interesting tidbits of information, and honest opinions it is hard to beat the Moon series of travel guides. The accommodations sections include many cottages and B & B's, which we prefer above hotels and condos. My Kauai book has gone on two trips with me; the last time it was the only one of five guidebooks to make it past the packing cut and into the suitcase.
