Had a little trouble getting it started but once we did it was good. We drove to a lot of places on the island

This audio guide made our road trip around the Big Island with an SUV full of family more fun and memorable. We appreciated the detailed local knowledge including history (with social commentary), how climate variations with altitude affect coffee cultivation, and where to stop for lunch. Stopping at Big Island Bees was great, something we never would have done without the tour.
These days, it's hard to keep teens and 20-somethings off their phones and engaged with the family on vacation. You have to "gamify" everything to get them looking out the window. This GPS-linked audio tour is a fine way to turn driving around into family entertainment.

We used the app on both Hawaii and Maui and it worked extremely well on both islands. Loved the commentary, history, and Hawaiian mythology. Also the musical accompaniment. If you are doing a self-drive tour I highly recommend the app. Very easy to use.

It was difficult to use. We drove 40 minutes to the starting point and it wouldn’t start. Abandoned it and found our own way. Waste of $15.
