✦ Synopsis

This is the only guide you'll need to this wondrous destination. It covers the breadth of the Big Island's activities and sights, from scuba diving to horseback riding, and even helicopter tours for that bird's-eye view of smoldering volcano craters. There are also detailed hiking recommendations for exploring the island's interior, from its fantastic temple ruins to the stunning waterfalls deep in the rainforest. For dining and nightlife in Waimea, Kailua and other cities, the Rough Guide is filled with insider's picks; accommodation options are listed for all budgets. Among the expert accounts on Hawaiian culture and tradition are a prehistory of the native population, historical accounts from the colonial period through to contemporary society, and details on the seismic activity still shaping the island's protean landscape.
