Review
"Definitely the ultimate Mile by Mile Guide to Maui." -- Alistair MacMillan, PRO-networks Chairman

From the Author
From the moment we first stepped foot on Maui we knew it was a place we wanted to share with others. Maui was the diamond in the rough, the rare gem that had seemingly eluded us for years in all our traveling. The experience of the island was nothing short of spectacular. There is an aura to Maui that stirs emotions within that you likely never knew existed. Through our guidebook we have put our best effort forward to show you the beauty of the island, to guide you to its many amazing places, beaches, waterfalls, trail, and adventures so that you too can discover the magic of Maui.

From the Back Cover
Our exclusive Maui - Mile by Mile Guide provides a detailed look at the most popular drives on Maui. Whether you choose to view everything from your car seat or decide to head out into the grander scheme of things on foot; our guide is here to help you navigate the paths ahead of you. Our details are precise, down to the mile, and our ratings based on good instinct, you can decide for yourself in good conscious which stops are for you and which aren’t long before your own journey. Our guidebook is written, researched, and photographed by us, the authors. Here's what we will present you with in our guide:

-Place Ratings. Each spot has a rating (1-5; 5 best). None of our ratings have been influenced by anyone or anything other than what you will see/experience at the spot itself. -Photographs. Our guide contains a wide variety of photographs, all of which depict exactly what you'll see. No fancy camera work or tricks with our guide's photos.

-Mile markers. Mile markers on Maui are an interesting thing. Sometimes they exist and sometimes they don't. Our guide will give you locations relative to where the mile markers ARE, not where they should be.

Aloha, John and Natasha Derrick

Really needed it
Anyone going to Maui need a really good map. Too bad Amazon. com didn't have it before our trip. Order early.

A must have travel guide
Excellent guide book to Maui - we used it most recently in February 2008 to travel the entire Hana Highway (even past earthquake damaged areas!) and on the West Side perimeter road as well. Spot on in its descriptions of things to see and do - great guide on places to park and giving a quick heads up on some spectacular areas around blind turns. (parking is a commodity along the Hana as much is almost single track road). This one traveled in the vehicle and backpacks everyday.

Readers may want to consider color Hana Highway book
As one of the authors, I thought this update may be of interest to readers.

For individuals who have expressed concerns over the gray scale images and the small photos within Maui - Mile by Mile 2nd Edition, this issue has now been addressed & corrected. A FULL COLOR supplementary guidebook has been produced for the Hana Highway & Beyond portion of the book (which is an update to Chapters 1 & 2 of the Maui - Mile by Mile book). This new guidebook also features many additional locations not mentioned in the current Maui book. It also contains much higher quality maps. 'Look-Inside' is available for this updated guidebook here on Amazon.

Also, while Maui - Mile by Mile 2nd edition only covered the three most popular drives on the island, the 3rd edition of the guidebook will provide details on the entire island. The book will also be printed in color. Your concerns about this have not fallen on deaf ears.

We appreciate all of your comments and assure you we are working hard to improve our products. Look for our Big Island guidebook (also in full color) here on Amazon this coming Winter 2008. Mahalo.
