Book Reviews of Oahu Revealed: The Ultimate Guide to Honolulu, Waikiki & Beyond
Book Review: Great no nonsense advice
Summary: 5 Stars
I love to travel, but had never visited any of the islands of our 50th state....that is, until last summer. A friend and I decided one crummy Wisconsin winter day to plan a trip to Oahu. Our objective was to experience it more like locals than tourists, though we did do some of the touristy things. For those touristy things we did choose to do, this guide was invaluable in helping us make our best choices, both in venue and in approach to places such as Diamond Head or Pearl Harbor. Detailed information about best times to visit are really helpful in maximizing your time. What to bring and pack lists were helpful, even for the somewhat seasoned traveler.
As budget conscious travelers, the ratings based on cost were really helpful as well. The guide does assume that you'll be staying at Waikiki, which we did not, but still gave fair coverage and reviews of places outside that small part of the island, which is where we spent most of our time. For those trying to make lodging choices, the aerial photos that show the hotels in site would be helpful. If a hotel says "beach view," you can get an idea of just what that actually means by studying these photos.
The reviews and descriptions of the beaches were really nice and helped locate some hidden gems along our way. Also helpful for us were the descriptions of hiking trails, letting us know how much time we might need and the conditions we might encounter on those trails. Honest reviews of the best place to rent kayaks and where to paddle were also key to an enjoyable adventure. The photos included were great inspiration for our own photo adventures, and I appreciated that they were done by the author, not a paid professional photographer. We paired the use of this guide with Oahu Trailblazer: Where to Hike, Snorkel, Surf from Waikiki to the North Shore and as a result, came home with happy memories.
