Guide map of Hawaii, the Big Island, with things to see and do for scuba divers, snorkelers, golfers, hikers, bicyclists, surfers, tourists, and others who love the Big Island. Printed on waterproof, tear-resistant, permanently folded paper. Measures 4.25 x 7 in. when folded; opens to 14 x 21 in.Side One shows the entire island in beautiful shades of Hawaiian green, as it sits in the middle of the vast North Pacific Ocean. The island looks like an emerald piercing through the ocean blues, which descend with depth, out to 18,000+ feet deep around the island. The Big Island's giant volcanoes, some still bursting with lava, is so high that snow often caps the tallest peaks, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The island is so big and so diverse, and this guide map of Hawaii helps you to understand that magnitude. Franko's descriptions appear in captions all around the island, capturing the essence of what Hawaii is all about. The many things to see and do on the Big Island are described in detail, and are highlighted with pictures and icons to give you a feel of what the real Hawaii is all about.Side Two shows close-ups of Kona and the Kohala Coast, including a zoom-in on Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park (otherwise known as City of Refuge); Kailua-Kona to Keauhou, plus Kailua Kona Town; the Hilo Area plus downtown Hilo; and Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
