Not The Best Hana Guide, But Fantastic Photos!!,
By
This review is from: Maui's Hana Highway (Paperback)
Maui's Hana Highway is very informative, charmingly descriptive- -and, sadly enough, is no longer the best guide available to the Road to Hana. (Maui Revealed, that fabulous, pull-no-punches guidebook written by Andrew Doughty and Harriett Freidman, is usually considered the standard to which all other Maui books aspire.) Nevertheless, this very slim booklet is still worthy of your consideration as a supplement to Maui Revealed. Why?? In a word: PHOTOS. As authors Kepler and Kepler have stated in the preface, Hana Highway is basically a picture book, one which includes a number of stunning photos of the highway, the scenery, and most of all, the flora and fauna (plants and animals) of the famed 52-mile trek and beyond. (Ater all, Dr. Kepler is a New Zealand naturalist.) From bouganvillea to breadfruit, ginger to ground orchids, Dr. Kepler chronicles the trees, wild pigs, palms, and especially, the many incredible flowers along the way with loving prose and stunning photography. Yes, it's true, the guide is definitely dated (the part about not using rental cars on the section of highway past Kipahulu is just not true); it's also true that many readers would prefer more photos of coastline scenery and fewer of flowers. However, if you're the nature-loving type (with trail mix in your pockets and granola in your soul), then this book would make a perfect supplemental guide, particularly if you plan to make the drive as an all-day event and leave your car frequently to hike the trails. If this is the case, then pick up Maui's Hana Highway today and start hiking! The flora and fauna of Hana await!!
