being from hawaii i was a bit wweary of this book, but after using this book it was very helpful in finding some of the out of the way places. i was not very impressed in the restaurant guides though. we tried some fo the places and found them lacking in good local type food. we got better results talking to the local boys for they're reccommendations. also if the book says enter at your own risk but it would probably be alright don't go there. they are kapu( hawaiian heritage sacred land and the locals get very angry about ignoring no trespassing(kapu) signs.
