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
“My wife and I would like to thank you for your wonderful series of “Revealed” books. We have recently moved to Oahu. We, of course, have one for each island and, as we have quite a few guests, we have copies of Oahu revealed in every car car and every bedroom. I wish every guidebook was as thorough and intellectually honest as your series. Thanks again.”
