highly recommended

This is simply the best guidebook available!

I compared it with three other guidebooks, and this one is hands down by far the best. I also like his sense of humor, and his ability to give us foreigners a realistic taste of the local culture. It is down to earth, not superficial, and it must have been a lot of work to write this guide! The first thing I did when I arrived in Oahu for the second segment of my trip was to go to the bookstore at the airport and buy his book for Oahu.

Good recommendatons

I found this book to give good recommendations for places to see on the island. Some were not as spectacular as described. Also it would have been helpful to have better overview maps. Those are obtainable for free in other publications such as rental car guides. Places to eat were good recommendations.

Best Hawaiian guidebooks

First rate guide to the Big Island. I bought their Kauai book years ago when I visited, and this one is just as good. You truly feel like your getting insider tips, and not just a project for a travel writer on assignment. Don't hesitate on this one.

Great guide book

This revised edition is very comprehensive, written with a sense of humor and candor. Looking forward to visiting the island with book in hand to "test out" the recommendations.

This title's 37 specially created maps include beach access to even the most remote beaches, mile markers, hiking trails, and numerous details in an easy-to-follow format. The authors show readers such hidden gems as deserted black sand beaches, secluded freshwater lava pools (some volcanically heated), pristine rain forests, lava tubes, volcanoes, and hidden waterfalls.
