You’re going to Hawaii Big Island?
Don’t leave home without this book.
If you have limited time on this magical rock of lava check out how to navigate it, Kick Ass Kona, the best beaches, how to do Volcano National Park, what to eat and much more.
I wrote this book so my friends would not waste time on non-stellar stuff when the fun and stunning things to do that I learned from living on the Big Island are right here at your fingertips for you.
Prepare for a wonderful vacation.
You may never want to leave.
But here’s advice right now.
1. You must drive around the island. I took 2 weeks to do it but you can do it in less time.
2. Stop and talk to locals. They are very friendly, nothing to be scared of.
3. Eat poke, ahi tuna fresh from the sea, raw and mixed with sesame oil and spices. WOW.
4. Swim with wild dolphins, not at the Hyatt where you pay $500 for 20 minutes of petting these jailed mammals. Heinous. Go to Two Step at 7am and you might see the dolphins there. I did. Photos are in the book.
5. Become a coffee addict. Why not? You’ll be in the middle of the best coffee farms in the world. Kona coffee on tap people; bring your mug!
Who needs booze with coffee this amazingly outrageous?
Here’s the link, check it out.
Electronic and print versions available.
6. Big Island has a dry side: Kona.
And the rainy side is Hilo on the Eestern coast. The volcano is on the south side and don’t miss the Southernmost point in the USA where Green Sands Beach is. It feels like you’re on another planet.
7. People have reported otherworldly, mystical things happening on the southernmost point of the Big Island. Maybe you will too!
Living on Oahu, Big Island, and Kauai was exhilarating, and I was grateful and awed every single day.

January 16, 2015Hello Mary, I recently ordered your book I found it through Barnes and Noble. We will be in Kona Feb 10th-24th. This will be our 2nd visit. last visit only spent 5 days on the big island. We did rent kayaks and went out to Capt. cook monument. The dolphins were there. It was amazing, but we are hoping to swim with them also. Just wanted to say I loved your book and look forward to going on adventures and seeing more of this wonderful paradise. Sincerely, Trish Oshkosh, Wisconsin
