The Big Island of Hawaii is bejeweled with waterfalls, rainforests, black sand beaches, white sand beaches, macadamia nut and coffee plantations. And it sports an active volcano for good measure. It also lives up to its name as a very big island, mostly covered with lava rock. Unlike neighbouring Waikiki, not all of the hotels are located close to good beaches, so it's advisable to know where you're going when you visit.

This book takes you on a photographically rich guided tour of some of the amazing sights around the island of Hawaii, as seen through the eyes of an accomplished travel photographer.

Watch the spectacular sunset at Waikoloa on the tiny, picturesque Anaeho’omalu Beach; dodge the sea turtles at Mauna Lani; walk along the exotic black sand beach at Polulu Valley; visit some of the abundance of waterfalls across the mountainous regions of the island, or the botanical garden near Umauma Falls. And of course don't forget to walk right down into the Kilauea Crater, dodging the steam coming from vents in this alien landscape.

In addition to the round-the-island photo-guide, 'Big Island, Amazing Sights' includes an Explore More section with useful details and links for further exploration. This is an indispensable guide for your visit to the Big Island.
