Synopsis

Where Vacations Become Adventures! Each book in the Hidden series first reviews a destination's famed attractions. Then it invites the reader to go further by exploring "hidden" spots other guides overlook and by diving into outdoor activities enjoyed by today's active travelers. Targeting small inns and local restaurants while focusing on authentic settings and local culture, these guides offer a unique travel experience.-- New and improved maps that "zoom in" on each area and lead the traveler along the described route -- New features including checklists of author favorites, weekend itineraries, and walking tours -- "Hidden" spots -- loved by the local but missed by most visitors -- prominently marked in the margin -- Detailed descriptions of beaches, parks, and outdoor activities that take the reader beyond he sightseeing circuit to hike, bike, swim, snorkel, and camp -- Redesigned front and back covers that are more dynamic, more colorful, and easier to read -- Expanded internet information that includes email and Web site addresses for every listing -- From the author of Hidden Hawaii, winner of the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Award for Best Guidebook -- Covers the entire island in great detail, from the sunny south shore beaches to the wild, pristine Na Pali Coast -- Shows how to explore Kauai's natural side with details on beach camping, scuba diving, sea kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking (including a special map of hiking trails in Waimea Canyon) -- Leads to out-of-the-way sights, attractions, and beaches overlooked by other guides -- Combines critical reviews of the big resorts with helpful recommendations on smaller, more intimatealternatives -- Introduces the traveler to the traditional culture of Hawaii with sections on history, music, and people, plus advice on how to join the locals at their favorite spots
