Guide Review
Moon Handbooks: Tahiti including Easter Island and the Cooks
The best-known and most highly respected South Pacific travel writer, David Stanley, in conjunction with Moon Handbooks, presents this fully revised fourth edition of this outstanding travel guide to Tahiti (French Polynesia), Easter Islands and the Cook Islands.

In the fine tradition of the Moon Handbooks, Stanley recognizes that in order to fully appreciate any visit to the region it is beneficial to learn about the culture and history of the people who have lived there for over 3000 years.

While detailed and comprehensive, Stanley does not neglect to provide the basics on accommodations, activities, dining and entertainment for each of the islands in the region.
