Liesel,
Can’t say enough good things about this one。 Fantastic descriptions- right on the money。 Must have if you are traveling to Hawaii。
Tom Bentley,
I've read an older version for early trips and the newest one, though perhaps not every page, but close。 Just came back from the Big Island last week (beautiful and so wonderful to travel after so long!), and this book is a wealth of informative tips, leavened with dashes of humor。 We went to many sites (gushing waterfalls, new lava beaches, good restaurants, snorkeling, strolling) based on info in the book and agreed closely with its assessments。 Worth taking a long look for Big Island planning I've read an older version for early trips and the newest one, though perhaps not every page, but close。 Just came back from the Big Island last week (beautiful and so wonderful to travel after so long!), and this book is a wealth of informative tips, leavened with dashes of humor。 We went to many sites (gushing waterfalls, new lava beaches, good restaurants, snorkeling, strolling) based on info in the book and agreed closely with its assessments。 Worth taking a long look for Big Island planning 。。。more
Amy Cooper,
A really solid guide on our honeymoon across Hawaii, especially regarding Volcano National Park。
Katie,
Thoroughly researched and the snarky asides sprinkled throughout the chapters were entertaining。 The guidebook authors don’t hold back their honest opinions and they make it clear their opinions can’t be bought。
Gloria Davis,
Excellent book to use。 We have used this every single time we go to the big island
Pattie,
We took 4 different books with us to the Big Island and this is the one that we used the most。 It's well researched by folks who go beyond the standard travel book。 There's also an app!

Courtney,
This guide book is must read if going to big island Hawaii。 It is throughly researched, honest, and witty。 This book made our trip! Great recommendations on beaches, food options, sights, hikes, and activities。 We love that he includes both the “must see” and “must miss。” Great, great addition to our trip and also a fun read!
Heaven,
Rating: 4。5 stars。 This edition is about 20 years out of date but a very interesting and helpful read if you’re coming to the big island or even just want to learn more about the culture and land。
Judi Edwards,
wonderful GUIDE for Big Island!
Greg,
I will just recommend the entire Revealed series, as these authors do know their stuff。 The downside to recommending them and their books is to risk over tourist activity at the recommended eateries, vistas, and lodgings, but that is an honest problem we must all deal with。 So, if you get to experience something wonderful, thanks to these books, enjoy it for the treasure it is, share it with others who cannot partake, and leave it better than you found it。
Belinda,
Good handguide for when you dont want to take the chartered tours。
Gary Nease,
Not only an excellent guidebook, it has an associated android app that finds your current location via GPS and orients you to all the other hotlinks nearby。 By far the best travel app I've ever seen。 Not only an excellent guidebook, it has an associated android app that finds your current location via GPS and orients you to all the other hotlinks nearby。 By far the best travel app I've ever seen。 。。。more
Terri Buckingham,
This is a great book with super maps of the island。 Of course I have to be honest and say we liked it that they featured our coffee farm! 🙂🙂🙂 But even besides that it’s a great resource when you are visiting this slice of paradise called Hawaii。
Susan,
Over and over and over。 every time we go。We have virtually every edition--annotated, scribbled, smeared, and rained on。And have owned them since the first one came out。Truly the ONLY guidebook you'll ever need for paradise!(Thanks to the authors for all their diligence。 Although the loss of the hike to the back of Waipio is one of the greatest disappointments we have on island。) Over and over and over。 every time we go。We have virtually every edition--annotated, scribbled, smeared, and rained on。And have owned them since the first one came out。Truly the ONLY guidebook you'll ever need for paradise!(Thanks to the authors for all their diligence。 Although the loss of the hike to the back of Waipio is one of the greatest disappointments we have on island。) 。。。more
Harmony,
This is the 4th time we've purchased the handbooks! It's all the things I want to know when traveling。 We've also purchased the Maui, and Kaua'i book (twice。) I wouldn't go to Hawaii without it。 This is the 4th time we've purchased the handbooks!

Bobsie67,
Quirky but good advice on what to do, where to stay and eat。 You’ll still be a Halle when you visit, but at least you’ll go with some insider knowledge and be able to stray from the more touristed spots。 The jokey writing style might not be for all, but it is very much in the spirit of Hawaii。
Tim,
Excellent book- now somewhat controversial ( pay attention if the author says some activity might be risky )。 A must have if you visit The Big Island 。
Greg,
Great details。
Emily,
A must have for pro tips for the Big Island!
Kori,
This is my third edition of this book, and as usual, it's chock full of great advice, things not to miss, and just good general information。 Highly recommend。 This is my third edition of this book, and as usual, it's chock full of great advice, things not to miss, and just good general information。 Highly recommend。 。。。more
Kappy,
One of the better guidebooks for Anywhere。 Funny side comments were entertaining。Gave the book a 4 because it jumped around a bit。 I get why he did that but it was sometimes hard to remember where I saw something about snorkeling or a hike when I was in a particular town
Thomas Ryan,
Not the secret exposing travel guide I was hoping for。
Hannah,
A great guide to the Big Island
Kelly,
Fantastic travel guide, used it to plan and all the time for reference while we were in Hawaii。 Funny and great tips!
Melinda,
These are the best Hawaii guide books。
Suzy Qark,
A very helpful guidebook。
Cecia,
Loved this book, read it cover to cover。 Tone is very conversational and easy to read。 Need a new edition now that most of the Puna information is no longer relevant (due to the volcanic eruptions starting May 2018, most of that area has changed and many beaches no longer exist。)。 Loved the historical and culture facts and stories。 Looking forward to the next edition!
Sheila ,
An informative travel guide for the Big Island of Hawaii, which I used as a reference on a vacation to the island。 Lots of helpful information, and lots of unique fun facts too。
Tulip Nandu,
Blindly follow the guide and you will be in good hands。 We loved the insights of the places the book had and thoroughly enjoyed by visiting them。
Jeffrey,
The information about snorkel boats was very good。
