I ordered both this book and Maui Revealed based on customer reviews. The photography in this book is stunning, and it may be worth buying just to have that. I know that I will probably use it to supplement my photos if/when I want to share something about my trip. However,...
When actually on Maui, we found that we used Maui Revealed exclusively. The information in Maui Revealed was so detailed, so easily presented, included a lot more different types of activities than this book (the driving guide), and was more compact and therefore easier to carry in your backpack or car, that we didn't use this book at all. For driving instructions, Maui Revealed excelled.
If you want a book to inspire travel, with luscious photos, this is the one. If you want a comprehensive tour book with hints about out-of-the-way spots, walks, hikes and activities other than moving by car or taking photographs, go for Maui Revealed.
Fantastic and Invaluable Information and Maps
Rating: 5/5
On a recent trip to Maui, your "Driving and Discovering Maui" book helped me save a LOT of time and directed me to the places to get the best photography (I have been to Hawaii several times but your books eliminated a lot of "wasted" time in looking for the best shots!) I just wish there was a "Driving and Discovering Kauai" and a "Driving and Discovering Hawaii- The Big Island" Book to compliment "Oahu" and Maui..." thanks, jeff miller
Beautiful Beautiful Photographs

If you want to feel right there and almost put your feet in the water, buy this book Driving and Discovering Hawaii. I organized my entire itinerary day by day hour by hour by referring to the oversize pages in this book. It doesn't lie when it says it's a location guide for driving. I think writer Sullivan deserves a prize.
