This guide shows how to discover Hawaii's least crowded island. Ray Riegert reveals how to best experience this magnificent island like a local. Hidden Big Island of Hawaii reviews the popular attractions -- such as diving coral reefs and scaling active volcanoes -- then invites readers to go further by exploring "hidden" spots other guides overlook, like an early morning fresh-fish auction, a rainforest zoo, and a secluded black-sand beach that has great surfing. From campgrounds and local burger joints to five-star resorts and gourmet restaurants, this comprehensive guide provides a broad selection of lodging and dining options, as well as information on outdoor adventures such as hiking, horseback riding, scuba diving, and snorkeling.
