You can buy the booklet that tells you want to look for but it has been my experience that you get far more with the guide.
I would not put anything on the islands of Hawaii as qualifying for that though. You can easily do any of the islands on your own without a tour, without a guide.

For sure, those places with an educated guide is definately worthwhile. Done that on other trips and found it very informative.
Avoiding the lineups is a good thought - never considered that. Might have to do some checking as to when is the best time is to avoid such lineups. Guess a phone call to a certain sight ahead of time might get me those best times.
