This book made our vacation so much better as it covered every inch of Maui. I cannot recommend it too highly.
Saw book in condo. We are long time Maui visitors (1965). Would not buy this book and have heard nothing but negative things about it. The authors showed a complete lack of respect to Hawaiians by advising visitors of places only known to the local people. There are plenty of wonderful places to go in Maui without invading other people places, many of them private.
Much of their land has been taken and they have been made to feel as if the island no longer belongs to them and then these authors expose places only known to them for all the world to find. Their attitude seems to be that everyone has a right to see all the places on the island. Well, we don’t. We are guests on Maui and guests don’t go through private things belonging to our hosts. The word I hear on Maui is shame on the author and don’t buy this book… and we won’t …. and we tell everyone we know not to buy it and why. There are plenty of other good, respectful guidebooks.
Amazon claims this item is “In Stock”. After I ordered, the e-mail showed the book may take up to 3 weeks to ship.
If you need the book in a reasonable time, Barnes and Noble ships within 24 hours.
Obviously this has nothing to do with the quality of the book (which I re-ordered from B&N) but thought this info might be helpful.
I bought this book because of its glowing reviews. Most of the information matched the contents of the free publications given away at the airport and visitor racks in front of supermarkets. It is more of an advertising piece than a real guidebook.
I read their Kauai guidebook and it is fantastic. I will append my pre-review as soon as I’ve finished reading this one.
