This book was super helpful but, as with any guide book, some stuff was already out of date despite the recent publication. I found myself using the app way more frequently, which is less expensive and significantly more handy. Still, great tone, highly useful.
This is my third edition of this book, and as usual, it's chock full of great advice, things not to miss, and just good general information. Highly recommend.
A really solid guide on our honeymoon across Hawaii, especially regarding Volcano National Park.
We used this for everything while on the Big Island. The maps are helpful, although we did buy a road map over there for the detailed "big picture" as the whole island map in the book was too small to realistically show the roads we needed. Everything was as described. We statyed 8 days and that's not enough time to check out everything that sounds interesting, or even all of the "real gems" listed in even one region, but the ones that we did were as described and each a gem in it's own way!
I like the wittiness of Daughty's writing, but dislike the setup of the sections. This book is written as though one is driving through the island. But as just a read for ideas or activities, it is difficult to imagine where each place is located. I was also unimpressed with Daughty's maps as not everything he discussed was labeled. Overall, I enjoyed the humor and real life advice that was in this travel book.
