This book made our two visits to the big island absolutely amazing. The big island has so many pristine beaches beyond the lava fields that are a blast to visit, and this book makes these visits possible. I have found that the descriptions are right on and very complete, and the historical tidbits are interesting and amusing.
The only downside to this book is the organization - quite frankly, the big island is so big and varied that I applaud how the authors handled organization, ... Read More

My family owns a condo on the Big Island of Hawaii. We keep a copy of this book in all of our rental cars, condo, and home. It gives a fun, comprehensive look at the Big Island. We have tried several of their hikes, excursions, adventures, and restaurants and have never had a bad experience. It is fun to read, and we have spent much of our vacation driving around the island and reading the Ultimate Guidebook as we go. Much of what we have explored on the Big Island comes from the book and what ... Read More

Has almost everything you need to know about the Big Island except there is very little about traveling with children. It would be very helpful to have a section on things to do with children and places to eat. Overall an excellent book to have if you are traveling to Hawaii.
