Mar 30,2024Great advice on Hawaii from locals. Well written and high quality. Various itineraries and must see spots presented in a visually appealing way. I’ve been to all the islands multiple times and always come back to Love Big Island when planning our trip.

Jun 09,2023The emails not only provide you with tips/tricks, planning agenda. But notifies you of the most current updates. Received my last email, which looks standard, until the bottom which explained "Volcano erupts today...review how to see the volcano". To be honest, I had been done researching, done planning, but this newest update changed everything, the volcano was alive, definitely booking extra tours now. Thank you for the very best information at the last minute to ensure I get the most from my trip.

May 14,2023Wow! My husband came across this website and I’m so glad he did! He’s been to Hawaii over a dozen times but I’ve only been twice, once to Maui and once to Kauai. This trip we are going to the big island and Kauai. The suggested itineraries are awesome and the information is so detailed. I love how they give recommendations and also suggestions on alternative parking when busy. The links to parks and and other sites were so helpful! We actually had already booked some of the tours suggested as my husband knew they were must dos. The site has gotten me even more excited about all the beauty and the many many places I want to explore! Thank you so much!

May 03,2023Love Big Island emails were very informative before and during our stay on Oahu. There’s so much to do and we didn’t want to miss certain things. We were well prepared because of the information we received from Gerrit. The people on Oahu are so kind/friendly, not just in the hospitality field but everywhere. Oahu is a beautiful paradise. We hope to see the rest of Hawaii one day. Awesome stay!

Apr 24,2023Big Island Love provides detailed and easy to follow information, it’s everything one should consider when visiting Hawaii. I actually grew up on the Big Island but I learned a ton of new information from their emails and website! I can’t imagine if I knew nothing, this collection of information would be invaluable to a new visitor. I went into planning this trip with an idea of what I wanted to do, but these emails and websites helped me refine the plan- I feel so confident and excited to take my Daughter for her first experience.

Jan 22,2021Booked an excursion before leaving for my trip only to have it cancelled last minute and now I've been waiting for my refund to try and salvage this situation with my wife. Very disappointed and their solution was just to come another day like our trip was indefinite.

Jan 13,2020A fantastic website to learn about Hawaii's Big Island: great info, insights, tips and external links regarding the Big Island. This website is pretty much a one-stop info source for all things Big Island. Further, if you still have a question after going through all their information, email your question and they will get right back to you with an answer! Again, Fantastic! Mahalo!

Sep 15,2019This site regarding punaluu black sand beach is highly inaccurate and misleading, providing false information to tourists. The Ninole cove is a dangerous place for inexperienced and experienced snorkelers/swimmers alike. Also there are Hawai’i county lifeguard on duty 7 days a week on the punaluu black sand beach.

Dec 30,2024Lots of great information and I loved that you suggested a timeline for thinking about our trip. We have booked 9 months out so have lots of time for planning:)
