Self Guided Tour

Highly recommend this app for self guided tour Hawaii Volcano National Park. User friendly. Narrator spot on accuracy location, turns and stops. Informative which areas are scenic views and trails with the distance and mileage. Very efficient and cost effective. Tour on your own leisurely. Stop and turn as you go. No group effort here.
