Uncle Shaka was amazing, great tour of North big island
Krista Nazaryk | 1 week ago | AndroidWe've used the app twice on the Big Island and just completed our first tour on Kauai. Love it so much. It gives us direction/focus (and the cultural history) for each part of the island. We will never visit an island without using the app!
