Customer Reviews
I used the guide for Maui Road to Hana on our last trip to Hawaii and absolutely loved it. Once we landed in Kauai, I purchased the Kauai package. We used the Waimea Canyon yesterday and enjoyed our trip so much. I really appreciated the heads up that the last lookout was closed, and we'd have to walk to it if we wanted to see it. The history, humor, and tips make this app so worth it. Highly recommend, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the driving tours while we are on the island.

Used this for a self guided tour of the Kauai North Shore and it was excellent. The spots were truly hidden gems, the history was interesting, and there were lots of options. A great idea, well executed.
Carlotta_3000 | 5 days ago | iOSThe best way to see Hawai’i
I purchased the Hawaiian bundles for two separate family vacations. Kauai and the Big Island. All of the tours are fantastic and very accurate. Gray “Uncle Shaka” is a great story teller and the music is amazing. Plus the ability to pause or to start a tour at any point is a great feature. The low star reviews are clearly people who don’t read/listen to the instructions on the app and tours. This app is great and well worth the price. Plus being ad free on the tours makes that worth the price alone. Can’t wait to do more tours in Hawai’i and the Mainland!
