This book made our vacation so much better as it covered every inch of Maui. I cannot recommend it too highly.

Amazon claims this item is “In Stock”. After I ordered, the e-mail showed the book may take up to 3 weeks to ship.
If you need the book in a reasonable time, Barnes and Noble ships within 24 hours.
Obviously this has nothing to do with the quality of the book (which I re-ordered from B&N) but thought this info might be helpful.

Saw book in condo. We are long time Maui visitors (1965). Would not buy this book and have heard nothing but negative things about it. The authors showed a complete lack of respect to Hawaiians by advising visitors of places only known to the local people. There are plenty of wonderful places to go in Maui without invading other people places, many of them private.
Much of their land has been taken and they have been made to feel as if the island no longer belongs to them and then these authors expose places only known to them for all the world to find. Their attitude seems to be that everyone has a right to see all the places on the island. Well, we don’t. We are guests on Maui and guests don’t go through private things belonging to our hosts. The word I hear on Maui is shame on the author and don’t buy this book… and we won’t …. and we tell everyone we know not to buy it and why. There are plenty of other good, respectful guidebooks.

I bought this book because of its glowing reviews. Most of the information matched the contents of the free publications given away at the airport and visitor racks in front of supermarkets. It is more of an advertising piece than a real guidebook.

I live on Maui. This book and others like it are ruining what makes this island special. What used to remain secret and thus (private), has become widely known. This increase in foot traffic has brought; litter, excessive trail corrosion, as well as the crime that follows the tourists like flies to dung. What used to be a secluded retreat has been transformed into crowded public hangouts. Since there are no restrooms in any of these places, the woods have been reduced open air toilets, TP and feces have become increasingly difficult to avoid along with the stench of urine. THIS ISLAND IS BEING TRANSFORMED INTO A CESSPOOL (or at least the best parts of it)
