4.0 out of 5 stars Lighten up, mon. You're supposed to be on vacation., June 24, 2002
We stumbled into the Snorkel Bob phenomenon early in our first visit to the Kona Coast, and we were grateful for the no-poop attitude. We found a couple of lovely little restaurants, a terrific massage place, and even used some of the snorkel advice.

No, it's not a complete guide, but it helped us to avoid some of the standard-tourist pitfalls and to enjoy the place, not the prefab experiences offered by some of the land sharks.

And, yes--horrors--occasionally he mentions environmental and native-Hawaiian political issues. We think they're worth bringing up.

It's a relaxed bunch of hints from someone who lives there. Take it for what it is and enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snorkel Bob gets it right!, April 11, 2000
The writing style of this book is tongue in cheek and can be a bit tiresome, but the information given is right on the money! Blunt and to the point about what to see and what to avoid, Snorkel Bob also gives detailed information about all the beaches on the islands - which are best for swimming, snorkeling, diving, children as well as what time of year to go to each beach and what amenities are available at each. A real time saver!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Newer Edition is Even Better, May 28, 2003
By Robert Wintner (Aptos, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This edition is dated 1997. If you are reading this review, then you will be far better served by the '02 edition. amazon doesn't have it, but snorkelbob dot com does. It's updated with a reference index and many excellent maps. I, Snorkel Bob, cannot get penetration with the phantom amazon, so here's hoping you can get this right. Hail Atlantis! & Hana Hou!

4.0 out of 5 stars Bizarre, entertaining, and fairly useful
If you are into offbeat humor, this is worth reading even if snorkeling in Hawaii isn't in your future. It does have very good and specific information on snorkeling. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Guide to Hawaii I've read
Leave it to Snorkel Bob, Himself to provide words of wisdom to anyone visiting Hawaii. Thank you Snorkel Bob--You made our trip fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and Accurate!
One of the best travel books I've encountered and easily the wackiest, Snorkel Bob tells it like it is. Unerringly accurate and laugh-out-loud funny.
