This is the most beautiful and comprehensive visual profile of Kauai'i I've found, and so true-to-life. The rare shot of Wai'ale'ale crater is the main reason I bought the book. It's considered a sacred place, so visitors and photographs are restricted, but the magnificence and sheer size of the crater are astonishing, and definitely awe-inspiring.
This book truly captures the diversity of landscape on Kauai'i, from dry canyons to dripping wet valleys, numerous waterfalls and palm-lined beaches to inland deciduous forests and trails, and of course, several shots of the dramatic cliffs along the Na Pali coast.
