Author Description

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.
