 You don't need this book! November 14, 2005
35 out of 61 found this review helpful
The spots in this book are crowded and trashed because of this book. You don't need a book the find Hawai'i's hidden treasures. Finding beautiful, peaceful, wonderful places is easy, and that is the best way to reveal the islands without ruining them. : )

This book is fantastic. I have just recently returned from a trip to Maui and had to tell anyone else that has planned a trip to Maui that this book is a must have!! I went to Maui a couple of years ago (without reading this book) and was able to see some of the fabulous sites that Maui has to offer - there are many - but using 'Maui Revealed' during my second trip, I was able to discover so many things that I missed the first time because I didn't know where everything was. Specifically the information on the 'Road to Hana' and the 'Road around the West Maui' mountains. The book calls out mile markers to stop at on these roads and it's pretty easy to follow. Trust me, without reading this book, you will drive right past all of the beautful hidden waterfalls and fresh water pools. Local pamphlets do a good job of informing visitors of major sites, like the Haleakala Crater and the Seven Sacred Pools - but not one mentioned the Olivine Pools located on the North side of the West Maui Mountains. Thanks to this book I was swimming in them!!! The only faults that I had with the book was the authors threw in some opinions which I didn't always share - like 'the Windjammer Dinner Cruise' is just that - people jammed on a boat. I have taken the Windjammer Dinner Cruise and we weren't crammed into it and the food was delicious. Also the authors made a remark about the 'Lahaina Divers' Scuba Diving Co, putting 50 people on their boat for every dive. Again, I have dived with Lahaina Divers and there has been anywhere from 10 to 30 people on board. My recommendation is to use this book for exploring Maui's land, but don't take to heart their statements on activities.Mahalo, HoagieBlossom
If you care about Hawai'i November 12, 2005

If you care about Hawai'i, you won't want to invade all our secret places. Now, because so many people have the "Blue Book", as Hawai'i Revealed is called, we locals can no longer enjoy the places we used to treasure, because of the hordes of tourists now invading them.
Please, think twice about buying this book. If you buy it, and do what the authors tell you to do, you'll be helping to turn our islands into the exact thing you're trying to get away from. Keep Hawai'i as it is.
The best guidebook for Maui! December 31, 2000
28 out of 38 found this review helpful
Simply put, this is the best guidebook there is for Maui. My wife and I spent a week in Maui a few months ago, and in preparation for the trip, she bought a number of travel books about Maui/Hawaii. The difference between the other travel books and this one is that the authors of "Maui Revealed" actually present opinions -- positive AND negative -- with explanations of their opinions. If a place has bad service, the authors say so. If a place is bad for lunch but good for dinner, they say so. You may not end up agreeing with all of their opinions, but at least they attempt to help guide you throughout the island. Not only that, it comes across that the authors had fun writing the book, and there are parts that are pretty funny.The book also tells you a lot about parts of Maui that you wouldn't get from other travel books or from airport leaflets -- for example, on the famous road to Hana, there are a number of waterfalls. You can see many of them from the road, and people stop to take pictures. But the book also tells you about a number of hidden waterfalls -- including one underneath a bridge that makes for a fantastic picture of the top of a waterfall. I have to disagree with the reviewer below who felt that this book offered nothing more than what was contained in the airport hand-outs.

Nothing like exploiting the people of Hawaii for personal greed.
Some of the places in their book are not safe for tourists to go to... and some are private lands and some are dangerous. Have the authors no morals?
Book should be pulled.
