 The BEST guidebook in existance for the Big Island! October 28, 2008
I live on the Big Island and work with tourists, so am always reviewing the new guidebooks that come out to see which one to recommend (and which one to use myself for finding new things to do). This guidebook is without doubt, the BEST guide ever written for the Big Island! The author exposes many wonderful things that other guidebooks have never covered and also delivers material in a concise, easy to read (and enjoyable) format.
If you are familiar with Lonely Planet books, this one has changed format somewhat - for the better! There's more pictures, more maps, and a whole new focus on green and eco travel. INVALUABLE as tourists should really think twice about minimizing their travel footprint.
The author's accommodation picks are also right on. Go here first for an unbiased review of the many many accommodation options. She will lead you in the right direction and really focuses on value vs price (also giving price ranges from budget to more expensive).
I am very very delighted for the first time to be able to recommend a Hawaii guidebook without having to give reservations or apologize for things the author did wrong!!!! Mahalo Lonely Planet - you got this one RIGHT ON!

 Good review, but only one island... October 19, 2005
3 out of 20 found this review helpful
The book is great, has a lot of information about the Big Island, but that is it's shortcoming. Knowing that most trips to Hawaii are those to more than one island, the Lonely Planet book about the whole state would probably be more appropriate.

I've been a frequent visitor to the Big Island and plan on moving there soon. The 'Lonely Planet Big Island' and 'Hawaii the Big Island Revealed' are your two must have guides to the Big Island.
