There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
But because it is an excellent book,I was surprised by two obvious errors. The brown tree snake,a native of New Guinea,is a very dangerous reptile. It's not too likely that if one were actually sighted in Hawaii that someone would call the Pest Hotline as suggested rather than 911. Maui roads are well below mainland standards. The authors' implication that the "paved roads only" restriction of the rental car companies can be safely disregarded could make an expensive vacation even more expensive.
Most European travel guidebooks have at least two errors per chapter. Two per book is a pretty good track record. Don't head for Maui without reading this book first.
Just finished with a cruise and visited the main 4 islands and our trip was awmazing thanks to Andrew Doughty. And his "Revealed" books we got to see places that many that have been going to the islands many times didn't know about.
Money well spent.

いろいろ旅行前に日本のガイドブックを買いあさってきたけど、日本の情報誌にはマウイの情報はオアフの情報のおまけみたいな取り扱いばかり・・・(そうでない本もありますが)
Amazonでこの本に出会い、購入して読んでみたら、目からうろこがぽとりと。(タイトル通りマウイのベールがはがれています)
グルメ系の雑誌では良く行われている、匿名による取材のためか、辛辣な表現が所々にちりばめられていて、読んでいて楽しめたし。生きた英語で書かれているため、大学の英語の授業でテキストとして使ってもいいのでは?と思えました。
ひとつ残念なのは、ホテル&コンドミニアムガイドがWEB上での公開ということですね。インターネットが使えない環境だと、見ることができません。最新の情報を載せたいという気持ちは良くわかるのですが、できれば少しは本に記述してあって+差分をWEBっていうのが良かったと思う。
従って☆1つ減点。
旅行はガイドブックの情報だけではないし、人それぞれ感じ方が違うとは思いますが、これからマウイに行く人にはぜひ読んでみてもらいたい1冊だと思います。
もちろん日本のガイドブックも読んでみて比較する目は必要だと思いますが・・・綺麗な写真と、外国の方の視線から見たマウイ、きっとあなたにも有効なはずです。
なお、私の中で今年の洋書の上位を今の時点ではキープ中
