Big Island must-have!
Use the big island bundle for our trip last week to Hawaii. Made the drive around the island much more interesting, and found a lot more activities and things to see then we otherwise would have. Our kids loved it, and reassured them that their parents knew where they were going lol! If you’re driving around the islands, be sure to have this with you!
Albers51018 | 3 weeks ago | iOSI love love love the guided tours! Used the app all over Big Island and now working on Kauai and it's brought me to so many places I never would have seen otherwise. My husband and I have been so pleased with it. Sometimes the app can be a bit glitchy. Downloading a tour got stuck for me a few times so I followed the steps in the tech faq and had to uninstall and reinstall the app twice to get it to work. But, once the tour is downloaded I've had no problems. Very much enjoy the narrator!

Definitely worth it, it was the best investment for our Hawaii trip. We used the Big Island and Oahu. Both were great , very informative and extremely useful. Will definitely use the others on future visits.
