Founded by Michael Hunter in 1985, Hunter Publishing began as a publisher of guides to unusual destinations, places for which little in-depth information was available. Often they were the only resource available to travellers.

Today, the aim of providing readers with unusual travel books persists, with books like The Argentina Travel Companion and award-winning Adventure Guide to the Yucatan. But Hunter has also expanded its horizons and now produces a comprehensive range of travel guides to the Caribbean, the U.S., Europe, South America and the far reaches of the globe.

The Adventure Guides, Hunter's signature series, is rapidly carving out a niche on the bookshelves. Started 15 years ago, just as the company was forming, the series encourages travellers to be active in exploring their destination, whether on foot, by jeep, in a boat or on horseback! The series now has over 30 titles and is growing rapidly! Another successful line is our Alive series, which leads the traveller to the very best restaurants and resorts, also covering beaches, historical sites and more.

The Alive Guides often cover destinations that are popular but seldom dealt with in other guidebooks, such as Buenos Aires, Aruba, Bonaire & Curaçao, Martinique & Guadeloupe or St. Martin & St. Barts.
