Summary

Finally, there's a guide to Maui that covers the island right! Maui Revealed 2/e is the most comprehensive yet easy to use guidebook ever written for Maui. The authors actually hike all the trails, ride the boats, scuba dive the reefs, dine in the restaurants, review all the resorts, snorkel the coastline, explore the hidden waterfalls and share all the secrets that they find. Everything is reviewed anonymously. This book and a rental car are all you need to discover what makes Maui so exciting. The 22 specially created maps include access to even the most remote beaches, mile markers (so you always know where you are), hiking trails and numerous details in an easy-to-follow format. Clear, concise directions to get to those hard to find places such as deserted beaches, hidden waterfalls, pristine rain forests, spectacular coastlines, natural lava pools and scores of hidden gems listed nowhere else. Contains a web site with links to every business, last minute updates and more; plus Web pages available exclusively to readers that expand on all accommodation reviews with aerial photos of all the resorts (so you'll know if oceanfront really means oceanfront) and their trademark "brutally honest reviews." Written by island residents who know the island. This is the best investment you can make for your Maui vacation. Whether you are a first time visitor or a long time kama'aina, you will find out more about Maui from this book than from any other source.
