5Best Hawaii guide book ever!Jul 30, 2010
We have purchased the Andrew Doughty Guidebooks for each of our island trips and our trips have been so enhanced and helped by the insights on his pages. If you are going to any of the Hawaiian Islands, make sure you take the appropirate Guidebook from Doughty for the best possible trip! He is truthful and humorous about all adventures.

1Too much blah and no real point to point infoJul 20, 2010
This book is more like a "story book + phone book", rather than a guidebook. Instead of giving important details such as phone numbers, emails, websites, pricing etc. right next to the attraction, it goes on doing blah-blah and then forces the reader to go looking in the back for important info. And for crying out loud, it calls itself "the ultimate guidebook"(!?!), when it doesn't even have a section on the Mauna Loa Trail. Mauna Loa is one of the only places in the world where you can get to stay at 13,000+ feet for free in a cabin!!! Skip this book and take the Lonely Planet Big Island Guide.

4The good and the badJun 10, 2010
Previously, I bought another book in this series, Kauai Revealed, and found it invaluable on my three day stay there. Thus, when it was time to travel to the Big Island for the first time, I sought out this book. For the natural wonders near Hilo, this book was right on target. However, for visiting Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, the book fell way short. Despite being the 2010 edition, the book failed to point out that Crater Rim Drive is closed starting at the Jagger Museum, which I found disappointing, as I didn't double check this information since the book edition was so recent. Also, Volcano House Hotel is closed for restoration and hasn't been open for quite awhile. How did such a detailed guidebook miss these important details for a 2010 edition???

The good parts of the book included, as I mentioned above, excellent sights near Hilo that could easily be missed without this guide. In addition, south of Kailua Kona, extending down to the southern tip of the island, the book provides excellent suggestions for viewing natural wonders as well as ancient human structures.

Restaurant suggestions were helpful and lodging recommendations were accurate. Overall, a good guidebook but double check any locations that you have your heart set on visiting, to be sure they are available to the public.

5Excellent book for Trip PlanningJun 06, 2010
This guidebook is amazing. It is user friends, well documented, and has great tips for traveling in Hawaii. I heard about it from a friend and I am very thankful to have bought it for my trip. It gives you lots of hands on suggestions that are priceless for a nice getaway to Hawaii.

4Very interesting readJun 01, 2010
This is a very interesting and helpful book. Easy reading and super informative. We earmarked and highlighted a lot of pages and used this book several times during our trip. Worth the money. I'll be buying the Kauai book for our next trip.
