Hawaii the Big Island Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook By Andrew Doughty and Harriett Friedman. Excellent guidebook. Much better than the Lonely Planet series, since it gives opinions. Good, detailed information for hiking and snorkeling.

Practically speaking, Place of Refuge contains some interesting restored Hawaiian structures, as well as a series of restored, but mostly original, stone walls. The setting of the place is generally very relaxing (lots of coconut trees and fish ponds), and many people come here for the placid snorkeling/diving in Honaunau Bay, which is north of the main Place of Refuge site. Kim and I visited on 24 March 2003, after kayaking/snorkeling Kealakekua Bay.
