 Beautiful photos. Poor restaurant guides. Sep 08, 2010
I took both Maui Revealed (MR) and Frommer's Maui 2010 to Maui this month, and liked Frommers more. Both were good books in general.
MR is a beautiful book! The pages are glossy and thick with beautiful pictures. The narrative is funny and amusing to read. But it's hard to reference in a hurry because the details are lost in large paragraphs of jokes and historical background. MR failed to point out that one of the waterfall hikes on the drive to Hana would require trespassing, a fact that was pointed out in Frommer's. Though MR was good to discuss how some trespassing signs by EMI can be ignored.
Restaurant recommendations in MR are awful. It lists commonplace burger and pizza joints, even a Pizza Hut. From Frommer's on the other hand, I got great restaurant recommendations on varying price ranges & local BBQ joints (e.g. Aloha Mixed Plate in Lahaina).
In short, MR is good as a supplement, but not as your only guide book in Maui. I'd recommend Frommer's Maui.
 Don't go to Maui without it Aug 31, 2010
My only mistake was with not always using Maui Revealed before and during our visit to Hawaii. Whenever I struck out on my own to a beach, site, or restaurant, or followed a recommendation from another source, I was let down because the choice never matched the outstanding quality of recommendations in this book.
Time after time, we found great local restaurants, exciting local shops, great things to do, and terrific places to visit based on this book (and based on the companion Big Island book as well). Having GPS coordinates for some of the destinations was especially helpful (yes, you should bring your GPS).
Of all the resources available for my trip, including Trip Advisor and many tourist guides, this book was easily the best. I could have saved a lot of time by using ONLY this book, and I really should have paid attention when the authors suggested a 4 wheel drive on the Big Island and a convertible on Maui (Unfortunately, I did the reverse).
Can't wait to get to Maui! Aug 25, 2010
This book will be invaluable for our upcoming trip to Maui! Written very well and often with humor plugged in!
Maui revealed reviewed Aug 25, 2010
The book plus the website were invaluable tools that helped us plan our Hawaiian vacation. I highly recommend this book.
Thank you, Maui Revealed!!! Aug 18, 2010
We used the "Maui Revealed" book for our once in a lifetime vacation to Maui. We went there to meet up with our son who is a US Marine and who we hadn't seen for almost 2 years. Maui was a halfway point. So my husband and I were there with him (21 years old) and our youngest son (18 years old). We couldn't have a quiet, boring vacation with all that testosterone hanging around! Maui Revealed saved the day for us! This book told of all kinds of exciting places and things to do in Maui. We hiked, zip-lined, swam in caves, flew in ultralights, geocached, snorkeled, swam with sea turtles and many more adventures. I think we spent one day out of 10 just relaxing on the beach. It was perfect! And we owe it all to this book. Thank you!
