Hiking Hawaii
I need to get a book or a resource for Hawaii?

I am going to Hawaii in July and as much as I can find a ton of hiking tours, horseback riding, etc…I can’t find anywhere that states what the BEST tours are? One’s that Frommers rated or someone. Does anyone know of any literature I can buy?

Frommers.com, Fodors.com and TripAdvisor.com have lots of great online information and forums to look at past questions or post your own.

I think that the guidebooks written by Andrew Doughty are very well done (with exceptions…see below) They are called the Revealed guides or the Ultimate guides. He’s written one for each of the major islands. Just take a look at the Amazon.com reviews for those guides. Visitors love them. By in large the insight the Revealed/Ultimate guides offer on activitiy companies, hotels, restaurants, etc is very, very good.

What I don’t like about the Revealed/Ultimate guides – sometimes, the author may lead you down a hidden path that will get you lost or have you trespassing, etc. Locals have criticized the books because of that. (Having said that, I know many locals who use the books.) Those cases of trespassing and danger are rare and you definitely need to use your own judgment…if it feels like it’s dangerous, avoid it….if it looks like you’d be trespassing, don’t go there.

I’ve also written many unbiased reviews from my many travels to Hawaii. I’ve actually written over 500 articles at http://www.GoVisitHawaii.com
