Oahu Traiiblazer: Where to Hike, Snorkel, Surf from Waikiki to the North Shore (Trailblazer Travelbooks) 3rd Edition, Kindle Edition
But, as Trailblazer readers have come to expect, the book also shines by delivering dozens of mountain-ridge hikes and garden strolls, as well as beachcombing and all the island's best snorkeling spots. There is no doubt that this is a good choice for visitors who want to explore places to call their own.
A Trailblazer Kids section is included for families, and the Resource Links provide lots of planning information. Safety tips are throughout the book, as well as the historical and cultural background that adds meaning to a vacation. The Sprouts love and respect the islands, and it shows in their books. Like good outdoor gear, Trailblazer guides are well made, well organized, and easy to use. Trailblazer Travel Books are dedicated to all people who are working to preserve the natural beauty and cultural heritage of Hawaii.
Oahu Trailblazer is an all-in-one adventure guide that serves the armchair and actual traveler alike. Though organized as a series of trailheads emphasizing hiking, snorkeling and surfing, the book has Hawaiian culture, history, and attractions to spare. The book is marvelously flexible. If you aren't sure of what you're looking for, the Best of Oahu section lists top attractions and activities to suit your mood and the day. It's possible to gain a solid sense of Oahu's offerings without reading the entire descriptions. But then you'd miss some great armchair traveling. -- SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Trailblazer guides are deserving of ongoing praise for any traveler headed Hawaii. If you pack Oahu Trailblazer and use it as a reference along the way, you are virtually guaranteed a unique experience that is high-quality and perfect for independent travelers. --THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
It counts to have the best trail tested outdoor gear along for Hawaii. This couple pulls out all the stops. Oahu Trailblazer is a must have. --VIA MAGAZINE
