For those who really want to know Hawaii, 30 Aug 2000
By John M. Gartland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Big Island of Hawaii Handbook: Including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Kona Coast and Waip'io Valley (Moon Travel Handbooks) (Paperback)
This book was a gift to me. I would never have purchased such a stodgy looking guide if I saw it in the bookstore. I actually got the larger Hawaii Handbook covering all of the Hawaiian islands. This book is the Big Island section of that book and includes comprehensive general Hawaiian island information as well. If someone is planning a multiple island trip they should go for the bigger book. Even if you are not going to Hawaii but want to know about Hawaii get this one. I devoured this book during the long flight to Hawaii and must say it was by far the very best travel guide that I have ever read and used to any destination. (And I have read them all.) It is so comprehensive and the writing is so well done that reading all of the information was almost like reading a page turner novel for me. I could not get enough. Once we were in Hawaii we found this guide totally indispensible. We traveled with a few other nice guides but, with all of their color photograpy and fancy maps, eventually this one was the only one we felt was worthwhile. (You can get all the maps you will ever need once you get there.) After touring extensively I read it with even more interest on the long flight home. We plan to return to tour just the Big Island and this is the one we will bring. It is not glitzy it is the real thing. Enjoy.

A cool back-door view of island culture, 23 Jun 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Big Island of Hawaii Handbook: Including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Kona Coast and Waip'io Valley (Moon Travel Handbooks) (Paperback)
What I like about this one is its emphasis on local specialties and culture. This is a hallmark of Moon's guides in particular, and this one is no exception. The only thing missing is color photos. Buy it!

A compact, information-laden guide that no traveler to Hawai'i's Big Island should be without., 9 Dec 2006
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Moon Big Island of Hawaii (Moon Handbooks) (Moon Handbooks Big Island of Hawaii) (Paperback)
Big Island of Hawai'i Including Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is the Moon Handbooks guide for tourists and travelers, and like all books in the Moon series, is packed cover to cover with absolutely everything one needs to know to make the most of a Hawai'i vacation or business trip. Focusing specifically on Hawai'i's Big Island rather than the rest of the chain, chapters cover Kona, South Kohala, North Kohala, The Saddle Road, Hamakua Coast, Hilo, Puna, and Ka'u and Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. From tips for getting around to health and safety advice to extensive directions, maps, black-and-white photographs, recommended hotels, hours for ideal eateries and gift shops, sports and recreation facilities, and much more, Big Island of Hawai'i is a compact, information-laden guide that no traveler to Hawai'i's Big Island should be without.
