Hawaii the Big Island Revealed

This guidebook is the most comprehensive and user-friendly resource for exploring the Big Island, revealing its vast offerings that many visitors overlook. The updated third edition features essential information, current maps, and numerous hidden gems not found elsewhere. With this book and a rental car, you can uncover the excitement of the Big Island. It includes 38 specially designed maps that provide clear directions to remote beaches, hiking trails, and other hard-to-find locations, complete with mile markers for easy navigation. Explore deserted black sand beaches, secluded freshwater lava pools, pristine rainforests, lava tubes, hidden waterfalls, and the dramatic sights of an erupting volcano. The guide also shares captivating stories and legends from across the island. Symbols help identify recommended attractions and businesses, along with a website offering links to each, last-minute updates, and exclusive web pages that enhance accommodation reviews with aerial photos of resorts. Notably, this is the only book ever banned at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Visitor Centre for being "too honest." Written by island residents, it invites you to discover the Hawaii you've always imagined.
