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
“Thank you so much!! I am in the Navy and moved to Oahu last September for a two year tour. When I chose Hawaii I wanted to make the most of every moment that I had. Your books are so detailed and candid! I know that I will leave here seeing the best that Hawaii has to offer. I still continue to explore Oahu and I have been to Maui. I am off to the the Big Island in two weeks. I wish that all the places I travel were covered by Wizard Publications. They are the first travel guides that I have read from cover to cover and laughing all the way. Thank you again for helping me to truly experience Hawaii. I will treasure your books and will pull them out when I return the Hawaii or when I want to remember the great times I had here.”
