Hidden Maui 4 Ed: Including Lahaina, Kaanapali, Haleakala and the Hana Highway [Paperback]

Ray Riegert (Author)

Book Description

Series: Hidden Maui | Publication Date: October 10, 2001

Where Vacations Become Adventures! Each book in the Hidden series first reviews a destination's famed attractions. Then it invites the reader to go further by exploring "hidden" spots other guides overlook and by diving into outdoor activities enjoyed by today's active travelers. Targeting small inns and local restaurants while focusing on authentic settings and local culture, these guides offer a unique travel experience.

-- New and improved maps that "zoom in" on each area and lead the traveler along the described route

-- New features including checklists of author favorites, weekend itineraries, and walking tours

-- "Hidden" spots -- loved by the local but missed by most visitors -- prominently marked in the margin

-- Detailed descriptions of beaches, parks, and outdoor activities that take the reader beyond he sightseeing circuit to hike, bike, swim, snorkel, and camp

-- Redesigned front and back covers that are more dynamic, more colorful, and easier to read

-- Expanded internet information that includes email and Web site addresses for every listing

-- Showcases the author's favorite places to sleep, eat, swim, and simply relax

-- A virtual beach guide with reviews of 64 stretches of sand -- many still "hidden"

-- Includes a driving tour that leads away from the tourist areas and into the heart of central Maui

3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong title for this book, May 17, 2005

This review is from: Hidden Maui 4 Ed: Including Lahaina, Kaanapali, Haleakala and the Hana Highway (Paperback)

It should be titled "Things other books talk about when describing Maui". There was not much that I found new in this book that I have not read in other Maui tour books. It had some decent descriptions and pictures, but not much more then that. I was looking for some real "hidden" places and finds, but was really disappointed.

This review is from: Hidden Maui: Including Lahaina, Kaanapali, Haleakala, and the Hana Highway (Paperback)

Despite the title, there's nothing especially "hidden" in this book. It is a tolerably-good guide to Maui, but nothing special. Most everything in it can be found in any decent guide to the island.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great guide, February 13, 2006

This review is from: Hidden Maui: Including Lahaina, Kaanapali, Haleakala, and the Hana Highway (Paperback)

I am not sure why the previous reviewers gave so much flak to the author for this book, because it really is an excellent guide to the island. Most people like to compare each guide for Maui to the Wizard book, but if you consider the relationship between that "other" book and the locals, then Hidden Maui by far comes out on top.

A nice guide for the island, one I'd recommend along with Maui Mile by mile and Driving Maui.
