Hawaii The Big Island Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook is the most comprehensive yet easy to use guidebook ever written for the Big Island. This island is so big and diverse that many visitors never realize all that it has to offer. We unlock its secrets. Our brand new third 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 38 specially created maps include clear, concise directions to even the most remote beaches and other hard to find places, mile markers (so you always know where you are), hiking trails, and numerous details in an easy to follow format. 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. Includes fascinating stories and legends from all around the island. Symbols quickly identify recommended sights and companies, with a web site with links to every business, last minute updates and more. Web pages available exclusively to our readers that expand on all accommodation reviews with aerial photos of all the resorts (so you'll know if oceanfront really means oceanfront) are included. Only book ever banned at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Visitor Centre for being "too honest" and "revealing too much." Written by island residents who know the island. Discover the Hawaii you've always imagined with Hawaii The Big Island Revealed.
