Editorial Review:

Product Description:
USA Today calls it, "An authoritative and in-depth look at all that the island offers." The author is a resident who personally and anonymously reviews every facet of Maui. From restaurants to helicopter companies to scuba to beaches to trails, he sees it all and shows you the best Maui has to offer.

Book Description:
This all new fourth edition is the most comprehensive guidebook ever written for Maui. Hawai’i resident and best-selling author, Andrew Doughty, actually hikes all the trails, rides the boats, scuba dives the reefs, dines in the restaurants, reviews all the resorts, snorkels the coastline, explores the hidden waterfalls and shares all the secrets that he finds. Everything is reviewed anonymously. This book and a rental car are all you need to discover what makes Maui so exciting.




Rating: - Hand down favorite
An absolute great job. Well written, concise, sprinkled with humor and common sense advise. Actually bought an extra copy for my daughter since I refused to give mine up. I've read many Maui guide books and this one is by far the best of the bunch. Love it.

Rating: - As good as the Bible
This book is so good that we followed it with blind faith to plan our trip. The book is very well-written, accurate and gives sufficient background to prepare for the trip. Ideal if you're driving around because the book gives excellent directions on where to stop.

Rating: - Fantastic!
I love this book, it has really helped us to plan our trip. There is a section on where to stay. We would have stayed in a nasty beach area without this guide. I'm using it to plan our Hana Hwy stops. The pictures are fantastic! I really like the aerial pictures of the beaches and the condos and resort areas. I like the detailed descriptions. I don't think they left anything out of this book. They even have a web site for more information and reviews. I highly recommend this book.

Rating: - Maybe Too Good?
As others have said, this is a pretty complete and generally accurate guide. One problem: it may be *too* good/popular, as several of the "secret" spots and adventures listed are now closed, as they have become too popular! These would include "the Aquarium" and "the Fishbowl" snorkeling spots near LaPerouse Bay. The entire reserve area has been closed to all uses for two years, starting in August 2008. Hefty fine and possible court date for violators. In addition, the rangers and others told ... Read More

Rating: - Outstanding Guidebook
The most redeeming quality of this book is its brutal honesty in the information it provides and recommendations it makes. When something sucks, the book says it sucks and to avoid it. That's the kind of information I want when I know my time and money are at stake on a vacation.

Web reviews of hotels and condos are free on their website and they are short, candid and informative (if a place is bad, they say it's bad). They also provide an aerial photograph of the property that really ... Read More
