This is a great book! Take on your Maui trip!.......2007-04-09

This book and Maui Revealed are my favorite. The variety and detail of the maps and narative are very exellent. Lots of overall info about Maui in a well put together format. Nice compact size that will fit in your carry on. Get it!

Good information but overall it's stale.......2006-01-07

My main gripe is with the updated changes. Comparing the old and new versions I see that a few pages were plugged in but nothing major was added. If you're thinking of buying this book save some money and buy it used.

An excellent and handy guide for travelers and tourists.......2005-11-08

Maui is the Lonely Planet travel guide to the Hawaiian island of Maui, known for its sea turtles, waterfalls, and hikes along the ancient Haleakala volcano. An island paradise filled with opportunities for windsurfing, snorkeling, diving, surfing, cycling, and just relaxing, Maui is a beautiful land; chapters in Lonely Planet's Maui include a brief summary of the island's history and culture, sample itineraries, a wealth of maps with off-track detours, recommended places to go divided by region upon the island, local hazards to avoid or prepare for, and much more. An excellent and handy guide for travelers and tourists.

Not bad, not great.......2005-05-18

Some useful details and guides, but overall it lacks the fine detail I was looking for. It seemed to gloss over some great places, and give unecessary information about some pretty bland things. It would be a decent addition to other books about Maui.

Okay.......2004-02-13

The basics were were here but it didn't bite off what Lonely Planet usually is famous for. Pretty bland coverage for such a colourful place.
