Awesome App!

This app made our day at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park so terrific! We learned tons of facts we wouldn’t have known, and the gps worked great to point out relevant sites.

Used their guides for Road to Hana and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tour, thought they were both great and loved the audio & that they included the history for so much of the tour.

We did the tours on Oahu, Kona and Kauai. They were all awesome and took us to places we would have never found on our own.
