Explanation of Ratings
Credibility = Very High: In general, this catagory is a rating of the author's intellectual discipline
and the strength of his argument (which are very high), not the veracity of his claims (which could be false in spite of the strong argument).

We haven't had a chance to field-check this one, but we loved
The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook
from the same authors.
The general consensus is that this is the best guide to the
Big Island of Hawaii and probably the only manual you will
need when visiting there.
An additional advantage of this guide is that it is very recent
and includes up-to-date prices.
Comparison to Other Books
Format and reporting are identical to
The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook,
which we also highly recommend.

From the Book Cover
The most comprehensive yet easy to use guidebook ever written for
the Big Island. The Big Island is so big and diverse that many visitors
never realize all that it has to offer. We unlock its secrets.
Out brand new, full color edition has more useful information,
the most up-to-date maps, and scores of hidden gems listed nowhere
else. This book and a rental car are all you need to
discover what makes the Big Island so exciting.
Our specially created maps include beach access to even the most
remote beaches, mile markers (so you always know where you are),
hiking trails, and numerous details in an easy to follow format.
We'll show you hidden gems such as deserted black sand beaches,
secluded freshwater lava pools (some volcanically heated),
pristine rain forests, lava tubes, hidden waterfalls, and the most
dramatic part of the erupting volcano shown nowhere else.
Driving tours of the island let you structure your trip your way.
Special section on Adventures.
Clear, concise directions to get to those hard-to-find places.
Symbols quickly identify recommended sights and companies.
Easy to use; no thumbing through every page looking for what you
want.
Written by island residents who know the island.
Actual prices for restaurants, hotals, and activities.
(Not vague symbols such as three forks to indicate meal prices or
general terms such as moderately priced.) Frank, honest
opinions throughout -- No Advertisements.
Fascinating stories and legends from all around the island.
We've covered is all -- from the snow-covered top of Mauna Kea,
to the sparkling underwater reefs. This is the best investment you
can make for your Big Island trip. Whether you are a first time visitor,
or a long time Kama'aina, you will find out more about the Big
Island from this book than from any other source. Discover the Hawai'i
you've always imagined with Hawai'i: The Big Island Revealed.
