The complete Maui, Molokai, and Lanai guidebook (Hawaii series) [Paperback]

David J Russ (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: 1993 | Series: Hawaii series

This is positively, unequivocally the best travel guide to the Hawaiian islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai yet written and published: the only guidebook you'll ever need for these islands. It explores every corner of each of these islands, remote and well-trodden, well known sights and hidden treasures alike - from the plush resorts of Kapalua, Kaanapali and Wailea to the quaint, colorful towns of Makawao and Paia; from the lush, picturesque "Road to Hana" to the 10,023-foot rooftop of Maui, Mt Haleakala; from the eerie "Garden of the Gods" on the island of Lanai to the sheer cliffs of Kalaupapa on Molokai. And, yes, all the golden beaches of the Kihei-Makena coast and the tourist haunts of historic Lahaina are there, too, as well as Kaupo and other little nuggets along the gravel roads. The book also has 17 superb, easy-to-follow maps, over 600 practical information listings for accommodations, restaurants, events, tours, recreation, beaches, hiking trails, golf courses and general tourist information, and hundreds of web addresses. Also included are a glossary of Hawaiian words and illustrationss of Hawaiian flowers and fish. And all this in a handy, easy-to-carry volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Great Value!", May 10, 2007

This review is from: The Complete Maui, Molokai and Lanai Guidebook (Paperback)

My family and I just took a vacation to Maui, and of all the things we
bought, this was by far our best investment. Not only was this
guidebook packed with good, useful information on everything on the
island, but its layout and organization and all the interconnected
icons made it extremely user-friendly. We didn't have to spend our
vacation time trying to find the information in the book, because it
was all right there, like hitting the right key. Great value. It went
with us wherever we went, and we'll definitely be passing it along to
friends heading to Maui.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and remarkably easy to use, June 26, 2007

By 

John Goode "good times" (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Maui, Molokai and Lanai Guidebook (Paperback)

A comprehensive yet remarkably easy to use guide to the island of Maui. It had all the information a visitor could have asked for - good historical and cultural background, good maps, good descriptions of all the places of interest on the island, extensive listings of hotels, restaurants, tours and activities and events on the island, and comprehensive sections on beaches and hiking. The directions to all the places we visited were accurate, and all the information we used was current. You couldn't really ask for any more in a guidebook. In fact, of all the guidebooks out there, if I had to pick only one guide to Maui to take along, this would be it.

The book arrived quickly and in excellent condition. If the drawing of the flowers, fish, shells, and leis were in color, it would have added a good deal to the book. We will be using the book on our visit to Molokai in Oct. 2009.
