Summary: Getting away from the crowds...
Comment: If you're interested in seeing the "real" Kauai, get this guide. Dozens of wonderful hikes, with maps, from easy walks to challenging, are all covered.
A MUST HAVE for the tourist that wants more than Poipu.

Summary: Great for trip planning
Comment: This book was a great help in planning our relatively short one week stay in Hawaii. It showed us all of the things we could possibly see and we were able to pick from there. A great description of hike difficulty, what we would see along the way and how far it was to each destination.

Summary: No longer useful
Comment: This book may once have been useful, but we found it outdated to the point of uselessness. Some of the trails described no longer meaningfully existed as such, and one was a dirt road with a heavy 4wd traffic. After having been mislead one too many times, we abandoned this book completely and relied only on the trail descriptions in The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook: Kauai Revealed (Ultimate Kauai Guidebook). That said, we looked to this book only for hikes, not beach walks and the like. It may be that it is a very competent guide for strolls. This book doesn't describe that many more hikes than the Ultimate Guidebook does, but the way some trails are broken into several hikes makes it seem at first glance that it does.

Summary: Kaua'i Trails
Comment: This was one of two books we used while hiking Kauai. The description of floral and birds one might see on certain trails was extremely good. Since we are birders this was very beneficial. Excellent text and very detailed.

Summary: Excellent trail book
Comment: I can't imagine the trip we took without this guide. It took us along trails that were stunning and amazingly little traveled. I felt like we saw the REAL Kauai. Surely it wasn't the hotels at the shore. Our only complaint is that some of the trails narrowed without warning at high altitudes and in places that seemed less than safe - especially along the Napoli coast. But all in all it made our trip the excellent journey that it was.
