Summary: Worth Every Penny!
Comment: I don't normally buy guide books when I travel (I research online & just take notes) but for reasons too long to explain, I ended up with four guide books, The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook, The Kauai Underground Guide, Snorkel Kauai, & Kauai Trailblazer, for my trip to Kauai in late Jan 04. This book by far was the BEST all around book. (Kauai Trailblazer is also great, especially for outdoor info).
We took this book with us everywhere, every day. We found not only the beach/hiking/snorkeling advice very accurate and easy to follow, even the restaurant reviews we were in total agreement. We felt that we saw things/places in Kauai we never would have seen had we not had this book. In addition, I enjoyed the writers' style. I lived in Maui about 10 years ago and remember the constant conflict locals feel regarding tourists - the local economy depends on tourism to survive but sometimes interacting with tourists constantly is a challenge. I appreciated the writers' approach to this conflict in this book - they use humor, poking gentle fun at times, but emphasize respecting locals and local traditions/space. My husband and I laughed out loud at some of the passages in this book! We felt the book was geared toward people exactly like us - people who want to get out and see / do things while on vacation, learn something about where they are visiting, and not just shop and eat.
If you like to get out and do / see things and only buy one guide book for Kauai, make sure it's this one.

Summary: A Must have!
Comment: Own the 4th edition. Visited Kauai for 1st time October 2003 with reccomendation by friends not to stay too long as there is nothing to do. Someone told me about this book after it was too late to change my 5 days there. This is THE BOOK to have. I will warn you that some locals (including transplanted ones) will sometimes frown as the author does lead you to a couple of hidden places that may be legal to get to but are made clear that you are not wanted when you get there. (Ho'opi'i falls). Other than that, this is a FANTASTIC book and everything was wonderful. It's easy to read, witty, entertaining and filled with stuff to do! I could not fit it all in, had such a wonderful time trying that we are going back for 12 days in Oct '04. If you are planning to go to Kauai, be sure to get this book in advance and start reading. Bring post-its and a AAA map on the plane with you and start deciding what to do! It was really fun seeing who all had "THE BOOK" and helping those who didn't with where to go. Literally every reccomendation was right on the mark!

Summary: Good
Comment: This book was issued to everyone from my company who won an incentive trip to the island. Anyone I spoke with mentioned how useful the maps were. The maps were easy to read and made navigation simple.
We did have some issues however. The descriptions of the resaturants gave little impression of what we found in terms of ambiance. Aside from Gaylords and The Beachhouse, the book failed to mention that most of the restaurants were in disappointing locations.
That being said, we could find no better book.
