This Guide Covers It All!

I learned so much from this audiobook, even though I lived on the Big Island for 3 years! I especially appreciated the author's breakdown of all the 7 districts - I didn't experience half of the adventures in each because I didn't know what I was missing. I would highly recommend listening to this with a notepad, writing down as many of the outings as possible. It would take months to explore all of the treasures in this guide. Put it on in your vehicle and go holoholo!

Making a Hawaiian Adventure Meaningful

I can't wait to visit Hawaii with my kids. Listening to this guide felt like having a personal travel buddy with me, taking the stress out of planning my trip to the Big Island! My favorite part was the insider scoop on the best beaches, especially the black sands of Punaluʻu (which I had heard of) and the green sands of Papakōlea (which I hadn't heard of).

The budget tips were helpful, so I can be confident we can do this trip without overspending.
I wish it had a few recommendations for gourmet dining spots around the island. That would've made it absolutely perfect! If you're dreaming of exploring the Big Island, this audiobook will help pump you up for an incredible experience. It's a must-listen before you go :)

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.
