Hawaii The Big Island Revealed Review
I personally have never gone wrong with these guides. My family and I have been visiting the islands for a few decades, and ever since we found these guidebooks, we have used them exclusively. I don’t know exactly how many years we’ve used them, but we’ve seen a few editions fill our book case.
While some people won’t necessarily have the same experiences as the author, all of our trips to recommended areas have resulted in enjoyment.
One thing to note, however, is that these guides were somewhat revolutionary in the extensive, unbiased reporting they provided when they first came out. Now that more people are using them and discovering the ’secrets,’ not every place is as private as they once were. The hidden gems are now “revealed,” so one might find less traveled paths a little more occupied. However, while there aren’t really new spots being pointed out (mostly just reiterations of old editions), they still are pretty spot on in the descriptions and suggestions.
Be sure to check the publisher’s website for updates, I mark them in my book to limit unwanted surprises each trip.
