- Identifies places that are literally off the map
- Have traveled many times to Maui, and thought we knew all the hot spots. After thumbing through this guide, we decided to try Nakalele Blowhole on the North shore. This location is not on the map, and no signs will direct you there. One tip - unless you are into intense, no- or little-trail hiking, take the second route identified in the book. Awesome site, with little tourist traffic. We had been 200 yards from this spot before and never noticed it. This is just one example of the type of information you will get from Doughty in this book. He uses mile markers to guide you to the precise points to turn off. His descriptions are direct and objective. He also includes insights on local lore and enough history to help you appreciate the context of the sites, without bogging down the guide.

- Maui Revealed
- We have used The Ultimate Guidebooks several times and think that they are the best in giving information the way it really exists. They let you know about many of the out of the way beautiful places and eating places. We have also used the book info to obtain condos or hotels. They say it like it is! That is what is great about the Ultimate Guide. We are again using the Maui Revealed Guide for our trip to Maui. Thanks for producing reviews that are honest.

- WOW!
- Fantastic guidebook. Simply put, the most outstanding I've ever used and I just happened upon it by chance, after finding out last week my wife and I will be vacationing in Maui next month. Covers everything one would possibly want to know about visiting this island gem and then some. Revised every 2 years by Andrew Doughty, with updated info all the way up to press time. Mr. Doughty takes you on a journey down each road, and even points out hidden finds you won't read about anywhere else.
Initially, I figured on maybe thumbing through a few choice pages, but ended up reading from cover-to-cover. The author has personally traveled these routes on numerous occasions, and even sampled the food at nearly every establishment. You won't find a single black-and-white photograph amongst the hundreds of breathtaking examples of Maui's beauty, compliments of the 2 photographers, one of which is Mr. Doughty himself. And those map illustrations that are so helpful? Once again, partial credit goes to Mr. Doughty in that department as well.
Even if you've never thought of visiting Maui, I believe this guide will spark the desire. And done with the perfect balance of humor too. It's like having your very own personal tour guide. I can't say enough good things about this find. Bravo! - 2008-07-17, 0 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:

- Priceless!
- This is a must have for anyone travelling to Maui! You don't need to buy anyother guide book, this is it! Take some time and read it before you go - and then take it with you. Pays for itself tenfold with the enjoyment of your travels...
