My wife and I have used Andrew Doughty's books for visits to three other Hawaiian islands before our trip to Maui. However, for the average tourist, I feel that this book contains the best, most helpful guidance you can get to make your visit fun and efficient. As usual, we were completely satisfied with all of the information, tips and suggestions that he included in this book on Maui. We are not into long, strenuous hikes so I can't comment on his guidance in this area. The book will probably help you find some sights and activities that you won't find in other guidebooks. We had a great time thanks to the many suggestions in this book and will definitely buy another one the next time we plan a trip to any of the islands.
We didn't get to see half of it. It seemed most people doing driving tours around the island had one. This is a great book and very popular. The authors are great because they aren't boring, they talk with humour & give you the truth of all situations from history to present day ownerships, also places to see & not to waste your time on, & where to eat & not eat. They also have them for sale on Maui but it is best to buy ahead of time and mark up the things you want to go see. There is so much to go and do in Maui, I was shocked. There are lots of visuals of places to see & maps & mile markers to help guide you. I recommend this book to anyone going to Maui.
I already have "Big Island Revealed" so I knew I needed this one. Very accurate info delivered in a casual and sometimes comical way. Best guide books I have ever read. With this book one can just about plan all their daily vacation outings from the mainland, but bring the book anyway.
I purchased this book on recommendations from other travellers to Maui and even though I haven't read it all yet, the information, tips, tricks, hints and suggestions are fantastic. I am a first time traveller to Maui and unlike many other publications this one gives you expert analysis on the rights and wrongs, places to see and which ones you will be wasting your time with.A must get for any Maui traveller
It's an environmentally conscious, culturally aware, budget-minded, brutally honest guide to Maui. Once you become an expert, however, it's easy to forget what it was like when you didn't know squat.
First of all, the books are packed with accurate, detailed, easy-to-read, appropriately arranged maps. In most cases the maps are supplemented with photographs that help you double-check that you're in the right spot.
If you find yourself going to Maui or any of the other islands (all covered to some extent by Wizard Publications "Revealed" series) and you're interested in relatively inexpensive activities focused on the outdoors, these are the guidebooks for you. One of the most significant challenges in writing a guide book about anything is that in order to present accurate, detailed information, you have to become an expert.
If you like to head out on your own and do your own thing, it's easy to map out a game-plan and go for it. Secondly, the well-written guides are based on a "no-nonsense" approach to travel: straightforward common sense advice about safety, culture, history, activities, prices, weather and even the crackling noise you hear when you snorkel.
Maui Revealed is a guidebook written by experts for use by us amateurs. Only Shot At A Good Tombstone
