Book description
Our author, a Hawaii resident, helps you steer clear of anything that's
overpriced, touristy, or inauthentic. With Frommer's in hand, you'll
know where to find secluded beaches; secret spots for snorkeling; the
best outfitters to choose for everything from diving to deep-sea
fishing; and where to find the top galleries and shops.
Each of our candid hotel reviews is based on a detailed personal
inspection. You'll find lavish beachfront resorts, intimate
rain-forest B&Bs, family-friendly condos, and much, much more.
Whether you want to watch the fiery spectacle at the Big Island's
volcano, play a challenging round of golf, snorkel with sea turtles,
or simply kick back with a mai tai to watch the sunset, you can design
the perfect trip with Frommer's Portable Big Island of Hawaii.
A resident of the Big Island, Jeanette Foster has
skied the slopes of Mauna Kea-during a Fourth of July ski meet, no
less-and gone scuba diving with manta rays off the Kona Coast. A
prolific writer widely published in travel, sports, and adventure
magazines, she's also the editor of Zagat's Survey to Hawaii's Top
Restaurants. In addition to writing this guide, Jeanette is the
author of Frommer's Hawaii; Frommer's Maui; Frommer's Kauai;
Frommer's Hawaii with Kids; Frommer's Honolulu, Waikiki & Oahu;
Frommer's Maui Day by Day; and Frommer's Honolulu & Oahu
Day by Day.
