"Maui" by experienced travel writers Amy C. Balfour, Jade Bremner, and Ryan Ver Berkmoes will take you on a journey to Hawaii's most famous island. This complete book shows you the best of Maui, from the beautiful Road to Hana and the volcanic vistas of Haleakalā to the clean beaches and traditional luaus. Sri Lankan tourists will like the in-depth cultural information that shows how island customs are similar to our own rich history.
The writers carefully list places to stay for every budget, places to eat from native plate lunches to fancy restaurants, and outdoor activities from world-class snorkeling to hikes through bamboo forests. This guide gives Sri Lankans who want to go on their ideal Hawaiian vacation useful tips on how to deal with local customs, learn about the history of sacred locations, and experience real Hawaiian culture outside of tourist traps.
This book is both inspiring and useful, with beautiful photos and ideas from people who have lived in Maui for a long time. The focus on sustainable tourism practices really speaks to Sri Lankan vacationers who care about the environment and know how to balance tourism growth with protecting nature in our own tropical paradise.
Quote
"Maui no ka oi - Maui is the best. Once you feel the island's warm embrace and witness a sunset over Molokini, you'll understand why this phrase has endured for generations."
Reviews
