I use “The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook” as my basic reference. It is in its 8th edition at Costco. There is one in the Condo (7th edition) and I own a 3rd edition. Local handouts are best for farmer’s markets location and days of week, and better for fireworks displays and slack-key (guitar) concerts and hula shows. 

I check or double-check with Google. It’s about fifty-fifty between Internet and local activity maps. The guidebook gives real-person appraisal of what’s a “must see” and what’s hype. Have you ever read “How to keep your Volkswagon alive – For the Compleate Idiot”? Could have been the same guy writing it. Simple, humerous, and knowledgeable.
