Great travel/adventure guide for The Big Island!
If I ever go to the Big Island, I will re-listen to this audiobook again and take a lot of notes. Or, I'll buy the paperback. I can't think of anything that was left out. From beaches to campgrounds to various levels of hotels to restaurants to volcanoes to golf to tours to hiking and anything else you can think of, it's covered in this book. It's very comprehensive. If anyone is planning to visit the Big Island anytime soon, I'd definitely recommend this book.
