Book Description

Series: Hidden Travel | Publication Date: September 29, 2005

Where Vacations Meet Adventures! First, Hidden Maui reviews the destination’s famed attractions. Then (more importantly!) it invites the reader to go further to “Hidden” spots other guides overlook, including small inns and local restaurants. The guide also focuses on outdoor adventures with detailed information on beaches, parks and outdoor activities. Special traveler-friendly features include hidden spots, author’s favorite picks, getaway itineraries, driving and walking tours, websites and e-mail addresses, and multiple scaled maps that zoom in on each area. Hidden Maui leads to sacred sites on Lanai, historic spots in Lahaina, and cool waterfalls along the Hana Highway. The author offers recommendations and opinionated reviews for over 110 restaurants and over 80 hotels. This updated edition includes 20 maps.

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.
