Amy | 15 hours ago | AndroidGreat tour guide!
This was a wonderful guide up the mountain!! We had time slots for black sand beach to meet so we had to skip spots but tried to stop on the way down and couldn't figure out how to reverse the directions for the stops since the way down was more history stories. Overall very happy with this guide, this saved us with no cell service!
KThomp07 | 1 day ago | iOSA Must for “The Road to Hana”
I felt pretty well planned and prepared for the Road to Hana, knew what stops and where, where food and bathroom stops were, etc. but we found this app 2 days before our drive, and the app made me realize just how underprepared I was. It’s soooo helpful: advance warnings about turns, food, restrooms, what is a must see and what may be skippable. Our family loved it. Especially the history lessons on the drive back. My Road to Hana trip truly felt like someone else took over all the planning and directions, leaving me to relax and enjoy. Now having experienced it, I would have gladly paid $50-100 for it! My only recommendation for an edit is smoother audio transitions between songs, historical commentary and directions. Other than that, you all did incredible work with this. Thank you for making our trip amazing!

This app was a God send. Excellent heads up of every viewpoint, stop, site description, etc.. I paid the $20 for the app and my car enjoyed every minute, my brother did not and ended up spending over $100 on admissions to places he would’ve rather skipped. The commentary, music, and history were all excellent.
