good directions, good tips on when/where to stop

This app was invaluable as we drove the road to Hannah. It narrated based on our actual location using GPS, which is super helpful. Well worth the $25.
thepownator | 1 day ago | iOSWhat a great way to take a self guided tour!!!
We would have missed a lot of what we were hoping to see on our first trip to Maui. We used both the West Coast tour and the classic road to Hana tour and we were thrilled with both of them and can’t wait to use more tours on Oahu.

I seriously questioned dropping $25 on an audio tour but this did not disappoint. Really elevated the drive on the road to Hana. Tips for stops, history, music. If you are questioning this purchased, just do it!
Travelingdad86 | 1 day ago | iOSFun and helpful
A light and informative guide that doesn’t get in the way. I make sure to always turn it on
Brazucão | 1 day ago | iOSGreat for Maui!
Used the shake guide for the Road to Hana and it was perfect! The navigation was great when driving the island with no service and the narration made the trip so much fun. Hope to try another tour one day but recommend if you’re looking for guided driving tours.
