1.0 out of 5 stars hidden maui leaves maui still hidden, October 18, 1999

By	C. Westerlund - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book almost worthless. The book pointed us to who we should pay to take us snorkeling or on hikes rather than let us know where to go. I also thought the book was poorly organized. I definitely would not recommend this book. I received more useful information off a free map of maui obtained from an information booth at the beach.

2.0 out of 5 stars First time Maui vacationer, March 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hidden Maui (Hidden Series) (Paperback)

This is not the best book on Maui. Most of the information on "hidden" places is not as "hidden" as the book would lead you to believe. It is available elsewhere (Frommers, Fodors, Snorkel Maui.) This guide is not easy to use, and doesn't have the nice pictures other books have. We bought 5 books before we went to Maui, and we brought three with us. This was not one of them because we got all of the same information in the other books or on-line.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Maui, July 26, 2000

By	Lew Schimke (Bellevue, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hidden Maui (Hidden Series) (Paperback)

I bought this book expecting to find areas and sites that were not included in other guide books. I have yet to find any such places in the book. The title is very misleading. I found the books descriptions to be very bland and somewhat incomplete. Mr. Riegert would do well to review the guidebooks of Andrew Doughty and Harriett Friedman before writing another book.
