Wizard Publications

Wizard Publications, Inc. is a small Hawaii-based publishing company that specializes in a unique form of guidebook. Most guides are put together by travel writers after a few weeks of visiting the location. They compile notes which are sent back to a publisher on the mainland and a "comprehensive guidebook" is created by staffers that may not have even seen the place they are describing. Guides at Wizard Publications are different. They take years to produce. The authors see and do everything described in their books. For instance, their Big Island book, Hawaii The Big Island Revealed took over two years, full time, to compile. Every beach, trail, restaurant, hotel, scenic spot, etc. that they describe is from their direct experience. All are described with their unique blend of humor, candor, and easy reading style with full color on every page. (Black and white photos do an incredible disservice to Hawaii.) The authors live in Hawaii, live the experiences, and live to write about it.
