Customer Reviews
I was guided very well through Maui and I am excited to continue to use the guide for my other stops on the islands. Only thing I could even mildly say is to possibly add the speed limit somewhere so that tourists know how fast to go on the mountains and highways. this app is awesome!

Downloaded this for Road to Hana and it was perfect! You got insightful information about the stops along the way as well as precise parking directions!

I couldn’t recommend this enough. This was super great! It was educational and entertaining at the same time. We are a family of four with two daughters, a 17yo and a 20yo, and we all loved it. Used it mainly for our Road to Hana and our Sunrise and Sunset Haleakala trips. 100% highly recommend!

We always explore everywhere we go and this really made things easier, the local flare music was great to listen to in between stops, and the stories and history really was interesting! Great app.. check out the road to Hana when in Hawaii…. It’s worth the $20!
DGCON1 | 3 days ago | iOSExcellent!
A must-have for going around Maui! The narrator gives great info and great navigation. Get the bundle of 6 tours and enjoy the whole island in a culturally significant and fun way. Note on the West Maui tour: heed their caution and turn around at the Nakalele Blowhole! DO NOT go farther! It is a one-lane road on the side of the mountains with no guardrails! Very scary! You will be so busy trying not to die that you won’t enjoy the view!
