Great advice to see the best places on the island.
All of Hawaii is amazing, period. But the Big Island is kind of where it's at if you're looking at the sheer number of activities. Ocean Breeze Adventures' "The Big Island Travel and Adventure Guide" breaks it down to help you plan while building the hype. I felt it was very successful on both counts. Personally, I found the parts on the natural attractions most useful and entertaining (for lack of a better term). That said, for people who are more interested in culture/dining/civilization-type stuff, the guide is awesome for that, too. And since Hawaii is notoriously expensive, I loved how this guide had a lot of tips for trimming costs. Everyone who is planning, or thinking of planning, a trip to the Big Island would do well to let this book guide their itinerary. It's excellently done.

Spectacular travel guide!
Have been planning travel to the Big Island with my family all year, and wanted a travel guide I could listen to while at work. This audiobook was the perfect choice for that goal! The author breaks down every point of consideration one could have while traveling to the Big Island specifically, and the unique advantages and perks the Big Island has over the rest of the islands. From the best food spots, to the best snorkeling and hikes, I feel like no stone was left unturned. Fanstastic overall, and would absolutely recommend!

Your perfect guide for Big Island Adventures
My wife and I have never been to Hawaii and we are finally planning a trip for next year. We wanted an audiobook that we could listen to on our recent car trip and this turned out to be perfect. My wife was taking notes and this just made us more excited for the trip and we know we won't be missing anything while we are there. This made planning for our trip easier and more fun.
Without this audiobook we definitely would have missed some destinations that we would have later regretted. I feel much more comfortable knowing what to expect. I'm a planner by nature and now I have a resource to plan the perfect trip.
If you’re heading to the Big Island, this audiobook is a must-listen.

Packed with Lots of Insightful Info!
Wow, I have a whole entire travel book here! There is so much packed into this. I very much appreciated the section on understanding cans and cannots while on the island, such as respecting the islands' culture with their legalities. I wasn't aware that we cannot take rocks or any fruits out of the state! Being a rock collector, I'm very glad I learned about this before making my travel plans. If you are the kind of person who likes being prepared, there are a lot of great travel tips & it also mentions carrying an insurance policy with you- you never know what might happen (I didn't think of this, genius!). I would recommend taking notes! Overall, I highly recommend this book.
