This Book is fantastic. They show you sights that you would never find just by driving around on you own. I highly recommend Maui Revealed if your are going to Maui any time.
A great guidebook. Just used this book last week on my trip to Hawaii.
Some of the hiking trips were challenging, even for us. I've never given a review for anything I've bought, but I had to thank the authors of this book somehow. This book took our trip from amazing to UTTERLY PRICELESS. The only thing I would note is that my friends and I are in our mid-20's. If you do decide to go for it like we did, it WILL be worth it, but bring ALOT of water. It answered all of our questions, told us where to go for anything and everything, and gives really great maps.
Also, every time we followed a more difficult hike in the book, the end was always completely worth it. My husband, four of our friends and I went to Maui for two weeks at the end of May. If hiking is something you do normally, then it probably won't be a problem. I wish they made this book for every place we visit, I would buy them all. It was that good. So, if you are much older or don't get alot of excercise, then I would suggest taking into consideration any of the warnings in the book that talk about the hike being difficult.
We would have been so lost without this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in getting the most out of their Maui vacation.
Well, this used to be the best book out there.no doubt.but after being in the hands of hundreds of thousands of people for a decade, nothing in here is a secret, by far. Google "smartmaui", a good (free) online reference we use (disclosure: I write for it).
I lived in Hawaii for 6 months back in '02. At that time I had the older version of the same book, and I am soo glad I did. I was able to go to places, see things and experience true Maui. I have bought the newer version several times, mostly for honeymooners going to Hawaii.Buy this book, and forget about what the rest of the tourists are doing, because you will definitely have better stories and the pictures to prove it.
