Hawaii
the Big Island
2nd Edition
Bryan Fryklund & Jen Reeder
"My husband and I have been coming to the Big Island for years. This
guide book provided us with tons of valuable local insights. The
authors (who clearly know the island well) have created an easy-to-
read guide that will take you anywhere from the best places to shop,
eat, best adventures, and tons of local "tid-bits" to keep readers in the
know. This is by far the BEST Big Island guide book I have ever used!! I
HIGHLY RECOMMEND this guide book!" – Marcia Elvidge
"I've been to Hawaii several times and used other guidebooks, but this
is the best I've ever seen. It has color on every page and lots of photos,
and there are tips on how to pronounce Hawaiian words and on fit-
ting in, like taking off your shoes before you go in to a Hawaiian's
home, or that the women's bathroom will say "Wahine." I live near
Seattle and drink a lot of coffee, but I've never visited the Kona coffee
farms before. This book has an entire section for people who want to
tour Kona Coffee Country, which I've never seen before. And the writ-
ers write in a way that makes it seem like they're just old friends giv-
ing us some pointers." – Coltrane
