This book just tells you about the hotels, restaurants, and expensive activities on the Big Island and has very little to say with regards to hiking, camping, and snorkeling. It even says that Kealakekua Bay is only accessible by an expensive trip which is untrue. There are no photos in the book and there is very little "inside information." Disappointing.

Much better books available

By Henry C. Wolford
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
From time to time I give Frommer's another try, but once again they come up short. Books by Wizard Publications are far superior for Hawaii. Much of the material is far out of date and many items known mostly to locals are not covered. It strikes me as a "I phoned it in" kind of book rather than someone who was actually there. We go to the Big Island almost every year and buy the Wizard's book each time. Despite our familiarity, they seem to surface something new. I would only buy the Frommer's book if you're the "let's hang out in the city or resort" kind of person. If you want to see the less frequented parts of the island, it's useless.

Exploring the Big Island with Frommers
13 Dec 2007
By T. Test
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found the Frommers guide very helpful when on the Big Island. He is a bit opinionated, because a few places I found that Frommers didn't like, I liked. But overall, this pocket book was much more helpful in the exploring the Big Island for the first time. It is a must if it is your first time to go. Make sure to take time to read it, and not just on the airplane over. You may want to find a more detailed map once you get to the Big Island to navigate around, as Frommers did not have very detailed maps.
