Hawaii The Big Island Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook

This is, hands down, the best guide for the Big Island of Hawaii. In fact, this author produces the best guides for all the major islands in the state. Great descriptions, photos, and maps. A casual, informative, and often humorous style that smacks of authenticity from truly local authors. While I get some valuable information from other sources, this is the book I would choose if I could only have one.

I do a lot of research for our family vacations, buying multiple guidebooks for each trip in addition to my internet research. This is one of the best guidebooks I have ever used. I came to rely on it almost exclusively when my family spent a week on the Big Island in July 2024. It has very specific recommendations along with history and background, and it is very well written. I read sections of the book aloud to my family as we drove around the island. I'm not sure I have ever written a review of a guidebook before, but I felt compelled to come and share my thanks to the author and my recommendation to others!

Don't even think of going to Hawaii without this book. Very detailed and user friendly

This book is the best for finding the non touristy activities. You’ll find all kinds of hidden gems in this book. I give it to anyone who hasn’t been to Hawaii when we get ready for a trip.

I found the book to be full of information but not so much about hotel options. Waikoloa Village was particularly sparse on information.

This is the best guide book I've read. Reading it is like having someone talking to you about the island. It is written so well and is actually fun besides informative.

Living here in Kailua-Kona, HI- I need to have this reference not just for us, but for visitors when they come here- Much has changed after the pandemic! This updated version has been helpful! Mahalo!

The Revealed Hawaii series is an achievement -- truly the best guidebook I've ever seen about. The depth of knowledge and comprehensiveness is head-and-shoulders above any travel book I've ever seen. I am the type of traveler who buys three or four books for each destination. If you're going to Hawaii, you'll only need these (for general travel -- for hiking or something specialized, you will need a hiking book). Buy these books!

Excellent book whit a lots of information

Prodotto utile solo se si vanno a visitare le Hawaii

vraiment un guide tres bien fait. Il est très détaillé et permet de préparer les vacances de façon optimale. Je recommande vraiment cette collection

A most definitive guide to the 'Big Island' with so many good suggestions & tips, & honest & unbiased reviews of places, restaurants, etc that we found to be so accurate & true. The big island is, well, Big! This book will help you prioritise & maximise your vacation time. Unlike Maui or Oahu, you won't cover Hawaii in a week - there is so much to do & see. The guide is invaluable. Recommend Volcanoes National Park, especially the Kilauea Iki walk, the snorkelling with Manta Ray experience, & exploring black sand & green sand beaches! Very accurate & reliable. Highly recimmended.

Está muy muy bien.Además de explicar brevemente la historia de Hawaii, está muy bien en cuanto a lugares a ir, indicaciones, recomendaciones..... No és la típica guia impersonal, ya que los autores han "investigado" todos los lugares que recomiendan (ya sea de paisaje, de hotel, de restaurante, o para hacer actividades) y no reciben pago ninguno por recomendar nada.Me está gustando mucho.
