Customer Reviews
Great guide, very informative!
Very helpful for our Road to Hana trip. Second time using the guide. I would suggest adding Aunty Sandy’s banana bread to the Road to Hana guide, it is a must do and guidance to the location and background of the business would be so helpful.
Let me write a review! | 5 hours ago | iOS5+ stars!
We have two littles and did almost all the tours of the big island while they napped in their car seats. Uncle Shaka is the best and the tour offers travel insights about snacks and bathrooms - not just history! Well done! Will be using yall again for other trips!
Love WSJ! | 5 hours ago | iOSAmazing experience, and very concise as long as you follow the directions.

Blues singer | 1 day ago | iOSSuper cool!
It was my first time using it, definitely doing it again. So cool!
Bmoreirah | 1 day ago | iOSROAD TO HANA This is a must!
I’m not sure what we would have done without this app. It was perfectly synchronized to our trip and told us exactly where to turn to see the tourist sites as we moved along the path. The narrator is great! He has great stories and info about the road to Hana and history about Maui. My son found him a little corny - fair- but well worth the $25 download. It kept us all engaged and looking for the beauty spots! There are many! Would use this app every single time! Well-done!
She Moves... a lot | 1 day ago | iOSRoad to Hāna

lenweb | 1 day ago | iOSCouldn’t have seen everything without this app
