Kealakekua Bay & Place of Refuge

It’s Not Just a Guidebook, It’s a Love Affair
Welcome to our website. Our full-time job is pretty unusual. We hike the trails, ride the boats, eat in the restaurants, explore the reefs, and do the things we write about—and we do it all anonymously. No sifting through endless online reviews of a company, trying to form a consensus here. We do it all and compare them all to each other. We also explore every nook and cranny of the islands, looking for the coolest places to show you. Our method gives us the ability to tell it like it is in a way no one else can. We put in many long hours, and doing all these activities is a burdensome grind. But we do it for you, only for you. (Feel free to gag at this point.) Although we’ve just met, I promise that you will come to think of us as your trusted friends in the islands.
What Readers Have to Say
“I typically opt for a Moon publication, or perhaps a Fodors or a Frommers and they do a good job in this respect. However, I did not realize how much fun the actual reading of the book can be! You have been informative, with a great degree of specificity, and I feel well oriented to the islands. I feel prepared to know not only what to do and where to do it, but what NOT to do and where NOT to do it. But the big thing, and the reason I felt compelled to write this, is that I LAUGHED and was fully entertained throughout the reading. It was a true pleasure to read your books.”
