More About the Author

Hawaii resident and award-winning Hawaii guide book author Richard Sullivan has trekked every corner of Maui, Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, and The Big Island countless times over the past 25 years --and, as a long-time Los Angeles Times Sunday Magazine photographer, most of California as well.

Richard Sullivan has explored multifarious island terrain ranging from the old growth koa forests on the flanks of Mauna Loa on the Big Island, to the miles of unpeopled sunny white sand beaches on sparsely-populated Molokai, to idyllic deserted island bays that most Hawaii residents don't even know about. Richard Sullivan has walked, swum, paddled, climbed and helicoptered his way up, down and around every Hawaiian Island time and again since 1985 in his quest to create the finest photographic images for his award-winning Driving & Discovering Hawaii guidebook series.

He is also the author of Reclaim Your Youth: Growing Younger After 40, which promotes strength training as the only genuine way to rebuild lost muscle and bone in both men and women.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best travel gems!, March 11, 2002
This review is from: Driving and Discovering Oahu (Driving and Discovering Books) (Paperback)
Where was this book when I was planning my trip to Oahu?? I actually ran across it upon my return and immediately ordered it to plan my next trip.

This is one of the most concise and easiest guidebooks I have ever seen! It actually doubles as a great coffee table book loaded with gorgeous pictures and information on every area on the island.

The book literally takes you on a tour around Oahu, dividing the island's shores beginning with the South Shore. Filled with graphic organizers of parks in that particular shore to weather-it is handy to glance for quick info. A detailed description of sites accompany pictures and info on traveling. There is just so much info jammed in the pages, it is hard to list all of it but it is organized neatly! The maps are right on the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars The only guide you need!, March 25, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Driving and Discovering Oahu (Driving and Discovering Books) (Paperback)
My husband and I had previously visited Oahu with our parents and done the usual Waikiki Beach/Pearl Harbor routine that all tourists seem to do. Our decision to go back to Oahu for our honeymoon was based entirely on this fantastic book. It showed us how much we had missed on our previous trips. Instead of spending a week on crowded Waikiki Beach, we spent our time on beautiful remote beaches or hiking through the jungle to a waterfall. This book has info that no other guide has. Every location has color pictures and a detailed map on how to get there. This book made our trip to Oahu our best vacation ever. Don't bother buying any other guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the perfect get around guide to Oahu, June 7, 2002
By 
David Betancourt (Blandon, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driving and Discovering Oahu (Driving and Discovering Books) (Paperback)
If you are going to go to Oahu, there are two things you must have... a rental car and this book. Honolulu is is crowded and congested. Walk the strip of Waikiki, make the International Market Place the first place you stop on your trip (get your Aloha atire) and last things you do on your trip, (get your souviners) and then spend the rest of your trip outside of Honolulu. (Of course, if you like hookers and drugdealers, spend your nights in Chinatown.)
This book is structured very well. You can seach this book by beaches, shore lines, trails, waterfalls, or uninhabitted islands. Almost anything that is worth seeing, is in this book.
The Lonely Planet has an Oahu book that is a great conterpart to this one. Pick up both of these books, and you will be ready for your trip!
