FrankosMaps Hawaii The Big Island Adventure Guide – Waterproof Map

Your Big Island companion for exploration and planning

Updated to reflect 2018 lava flows, the Hawaii The Big Island Adventure Guide from FrankosMaps blends practical mapping with thoughtful travel details. This two‑sided, waterproof map serves as a compact reference you can rely on from shoreline to summit, offering terrain context, routes, and region highlights in a single, portable package.

Two sides, one compact guide

Side one presents a beautifully rendered shaded relief of Hawaii’s Big Island. It marks paved and dirt roads, hiking and biking trails, and a curated set of places to dive, hike, kayak, surf, and cycle. The design helps you orient yourself quickly, assess elevation shifts, and spot points of interest as you map out day trips or longer itineraries.

• Clear road network and off‑road routes for planning day trips.
• Locally relevant points of interest, resorts, and lodging references.
• Iconic natural features and activity hubs to inspire your routes.
• Guided suggestions for outdoor adventures by region and coastline.

Side two: Kona & Kohala Coast close‑ups

Side two zooms in on Kona and the Kohala Coast, including a detailed inset on Pu`uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park (City of Refuge). It also covers Kailua‑Kona to Keauhou, Kailua Kona Town, the Hilo area, downtown Hilo, and the Kilauea Volcano region within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Each close‑up is richly described, turning a map into a practical guidebook you can consult on site or during planning sessions.

• Close‑ups of key coastal towns, parks, and scenic areas for quick reference.
• Contextual notes that help you locate cultural sites, beaches, and viewpoints.
• Detailed inset text designed to support self‑guided explorations and re-checks while traveling.
• Geographic cues that help you prioritize stops based on interest and accessibility.

In this single package you get both a functional map and a concise guidebook experience. The layout is designed to support quick decisions on the go, whether you’re plotting a morning reef dive or an afternoon stroll along Kailua’s waterfront.

Durability, portability, and practical details

Printed on durable waterproof material, this map is built for real‑world use by travelers, hikers, boaters, and beachgoers alike. It unfolds to a generous 14" x 21" view and folds down to a pocket‑size 4" x 7" for easy carry. With five image panels backing each area, it’s designed to stay readable in sun, spray, or light rain, while remaining light enough to tuck into a bag or gear pack.

Whether you’re planning a day by the lava coast, a coastal kayak venture, or a hike through highland trails, the FrankosMaps Big Island guide offers a practical reference that supports your planning and on‑site decisions. It’s not a substitute for local guidance, but it can help you discover possibilities you might want to explore and compare as part of your itinerary planning.
