Picture this: you're winding down the Road to Hana, pulling over at a hidden waterfall pool that your hotel concierge never mentioned. That's the magic of Maui Revealed, the guidebook that turns a standard Hawaiian getaway into a personal adventure packed with real island secrets.
Maui's a beast of an island—lush rainforests one minute, volcanic craters the next, with beaches that range from black sand to pristine white. First-timers often stick to resorts and miss the good stuff because it's hard to know where to start. Enter Andrew Doughty, a Maui local who's spent decades exploring every corner. His 12th edition spills the beans on everything from colorful reefs for snorkeling to off-the-grid trails that lead to lava pools you won't spot on Google Maps.
Forget sponsored fluff. Every restaurant, tour operator, and resort gets an anonymous, no-holds-barred review. Want to know if that 'oceanfront' room actually touches the waves? Check the free companion website or app for aerial photos and filters. Driving tours guide you mile-by-mile with 140 stunning color photos and 21 custom maps marked by mile markers—no more circling lost in paradise.
Craving thrills? Dive into over 90 pages of activities like ziplining through bamboo forests or ATV-ing across rugged terrain. Beach lovers get the full scoop on safety, access, and hidden coves, plus details on nearby islands like Lana'i and Moloka'i. History buffs will geek out on Hawaiian legends, culture, and the Hana Highway's secret stops.
Whether you're hiking Haleakala at sunrise, snorkeling vibrant reefs, or just chasing the perfect poke bowl, this paperback (and its updates via app) keeps you ahead. It's not just a book—it's your ticket to Maui beyond the brochures. Locals swear by it, repeat visitors rely on it, and newbies discover why Maui's called the Valley Isle. Your best trip starts here.
