And he still doesn't.Īsk your self why the National Park Service banned the sale of his books, a step they had never taken before-or since. He never lived here, and never cared what he did or caused for people here. Other reasons include the sacred nature of an area or place, as well-which was totally disrespected by doughty. That's why they weren't visited-because of their risks and lack of reward. More importantly, the advice is dangerous because many places here weren't 'discovered', but always known by locals-and known to be dangerous and frequently not possible to reach safely. Or, they require climbing fences (Hello?) etc. Several of the areas ARE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, always have been, still are. The author had no clue what he was doing, and it showed and show to this day.
These are a few of those "secret" gems that Reviled published. Rescues, head injuries, multiple compound fractures and frequent rescues at Red Sand? All year, every year now. Serious injuries, multiple rescues, and a few deaths at the bamboo forest and waterfalls on EMI land near Kailua? Never ending it seems to all of us. First place publicized? Reviled.ĭeaths at Kahakuloa Tidal Pools (another fake name by Reviled, "olivine' pools)? Many. First place publicized? Reviled.ĭeaths at Nakalele Blowhole? Many. Last week, a pair of men were seriously injured at Makaluapuna Point (misnamed dragon teeth by Reviled). First place the area was publicized? Reviled. Yesterday, a person drowned near Nahiku landing, in waters that required trespassing to reach. sux big time, but i find ways to fly under the radar and still go to that beach.life goes on. i'd been going to that beach for 30 years, and then it was taken away just like that.
#Maui revealed guidebook free#
in fact, here in my neck of the woods, a once "hidden gem" of a FREE beach on lake michigan suddenly became really popular over the course of a coupla years, so the village decided to smack it with an entry fee. i can understand why they don't like when these places are outed, but it is what it is. There are many in the forums who despise these books, but in a way, that could be a good sign-"revealing" off the beaten path stuff that only locals once knew about. the one thing i i'm not too impressed with is their resto recommendations. the maps are clear and accurate, and descriptions of sights are really good, for the most part. the revealed books (have copies for all 4 of the major islands) have been invaluable for all of our hawaii trips over the past 17 years, especially the earlier trips as we weren't familiar with the islands. Thanks and I hope this doesn't start a posting war! I'm really just looking for guidance on with my question and want to plan a successful vacation and respect the traditions / beliefs of the local population. I mean no disrespect to any local Maui / O'ahu residents, but I just want to know if the planning I have done by using these books has been a waste of time, or is the information in the books relating to popular attractions relevant.
#Maui revealed guidebook how to#
Anything that I've read that provides a detailed description on how to get to the attraction by ignoring signs, going down private roads.I have completely ignored and do not intend on visiting these sights. All of these are well know tourist attractions and I'm assuming are not on private property, therefore the advice in these books would be relevant. I've read both books, and if we take away the issue of trespassing on private property, I'm thinking that the books are still helpful because it does seem to give insight on the popular tourist attractions (ie, RTH, Haleakala, Nakalele blowhole, Kaanapali Beach, Black Rock, Waikiki, Turtle Bay, Diamondhead.ect). I am wondering if the guidebook itself is not an accurate review of what the main sights to see / things to do on both Maui and O'ahu. However, in the book, the author does address this question.he doesn't endorse trespassing, ever. I have read on the TA forums that locals do not like these books due to the fact that some of the recommendations in the books endorses trespassing on private property. A friend of mine has given me both the Maui Revealed and O'ahu Revealed books. I have never been to any of the Islands in Hawaii, and we are making our first trip to Maui and O'ahu this summer.
Ok, so I know this is likely going to trigger a posting war, but I need to ask this question anyways.
