This review is from: Frommer's Portable Maui (Paperback)

If you are looking for good eating recomendations, this is the book for you. But if you are interested in driving around Maui, especially the Hana Highway, find another book. The driving directions they give -- site-seeing points, where to stop, how to find roads off the highway and especially how to find hiking trails are not good at all. I just returned from a trip to Maui and wished I had another guidebook along. I wish I had bought Maui Revealed, because the Author's Kaui Guidebook was great
