I haven't have the chance to try it on the field yet, but its overall content should not differ that much from the previous edition. You may want to grab the 2012 edition of Fodor's Hawaii. But when packing for a hike or a beach picnic, you may find it takes a little more room than expected in your backpack. That's not a real problem when you are driving your car. My second complaint is a matter of size… This guidebook is pretty thick and heavy. But I guess that is the nature of those mainstream travel guides. I wish I could feel a little more of the Aloha spirit I am looking for. To me, it feels more like a well-written informative book than a highly engaging travel guide. My fist complaint would be its overall lack of personality. To keep it short, let's address 2 weak points. But, obviously, the travel guide is far from being perfect. What I Don't Like About Fodor's Hawaiiīeing aware that this is a general all-islands guidebook, I am rather happy whit the Fodor's, thus my inclusion in the Top 3.

This is a very handy tool to help you make a final decision. You will get a sneak peak at the guidebook's actual content. Click on the book cover at the top of this page than click again once on Amazon. Tip - To see more of the Fodor's Hawaii guidebook, make sure to take advantage of the Look Inside feature provided by. Note to the publisher: adding a wider choice of itineraries would be a nice improvement. Image source: These Fodor's itineraries prove to be very handy to those looking for a easy-to-follow mini-guide. To travelers looking for pre-planed day-trips. The Fodor's Hawaii Itineraries are certainly useful But I know many Maui Hawaii travelers don't have the time to prepare their dream vacation as well as they would like to. Personally, I am not a big fan of those pre-planed road-trips. Image source: The third and last key point for me is the Great Island Itineraries section. Helping you to quickly identify must-sees and most-dos The Fodor's Hawaii Best of is a very handy feature It's more about pointing out the best things to see, do and eat rather than telling you why and how. Don't expect detailed suggestions though. The Fodor's answers this wish in a pretty good way. But what the majority of travelers want is to get some sort of opinion to help them pick the best of the best. The second key point is the presence of many Best of, Top 3, Top 5 or Top 10 sections.įodor's Hawaii provides ratings for several restaurants, shops, accommodations and attractions. All of this makes your reading very enjoyable. The information is well organized and supported by pleasing tables and graphics. The Fodor's is a very colorful yet clear and simple guide. Image source: The first key point is its overall esthetic. To me, 3 specific features are particularly interesting. This guidebook is packed with a lot of stuff in order to please as much Hawaii travelers as possible. Tip - If Maui is the only Hawaiian island you plan on visiting, don't spend your money on a general Hawaii travel guide. The feedback are mostly relevant and certainly informative, but they stay a bit superficial. It's just not possible for a single travel guide (even a big 700-page guidebook like this one) to dig deep into every subject while covering 4 major islands at a time. That being said, keep in mind that you will not find extremely detailed information about each island in this kind of all-around guidebook. The Fodor's Hawaii guidebook makes a good job covering all the islands. The fact is most travelers who come to visit Maui also spend some time on at least one other Hawaiian island. The Fodor's Hawaii guidebook appears to be a good complement to my favorite guide: Maui Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook. In fact, this is precisely for that reason that I decided to put it on my Top 3 list. This choice may seem a bit strange since Fodor's Hawaii is not exclusively focused on Maui. The Fodor's Hawaii Guidebook is part of my Top 3 Maui Guidebooks. Fodor's Hawaii Guidebook Review A Good All-Around Hawaii Travel Guide
