This guide was awesome! It took us to so many amazing places and the stories in between stops were cool to hear. Definitely recommend if you are exploring on your own!

Paradise57890040621

The Road to Hana guidance was spot on. We leaned a bit about Hawaiian history and stopped at most of the recommended stops. The app was easy to load, esp. for a technology challenged person like myself. Highly recommended.

F5483QHsueb

Nice audio on the ride. However, should have mentioned road is closed and ONLY way out is returning through the entire trip. Restaurant owner said road out the other way has been closed for a long time. 😢

Evelyn_T

The audio guide was nice. It took us to different sites. My favorite was the lava tube. There were a lot of amazing waterfalls and beautiful views. The drive is for a skilled driver, as it is on a very narrow road on a hill. There are very few bathrooms along the way. You will lose cell service. Most importantly, there is no Finale. The road to Hana ends at a cute historical park- nothing amazing to see. Then (when we went) the road was closed off. We had to turn around and ride the WHOLE road back.

Jennie_D

Awesome experience. All worked well. Easy download. Easy to use. Rental car was inexpensive. Great way to explore on a budget

Melissa B

It took us a minute to get the hang of it but it was pretty simple to navigate. We enjoyed the recommended stops and history.

Eduardo_G

I was under the impression that I could use it anytime more than once. In reality I was not able to use it when I wanted. There was a time from 7-11:30am that was only to be used. It didn’t state that at all what so ever. It ruined my vacation because it didn’t allow me to do the audio tour.

Linda_W

We loved hearing about the history of Hawaii, and this app was really easy to use. It made the long drive so much more enjoyable. The advanced notice for parking areas was especially helpful

Cathy_M

Was nice information, saw several waterfalls, ate banana bread. Nice beaches. Road is very narrow with several one lane bridges

Evanna_E

Overall, we enjoyed the Road to Hana. The drive wasn’t as bad as people were making it out to be. It would’ve been nice to know before had, in the description somewhere, that reservations are required for the black sand beach (Waiʻānapanapa State Park) as we were not aware until we saw the signs up there. At that point, it was too late because there was no service again until we reached Hana Bay Beach. We went on a Sunday so a lot of the food places/stands were closed. If you’re doing the Hana Lava Tube, it’s now $15- audio states $12. Pretty cool experience. Lastly, our tour stopped at Haleakalā National Park. The main reason we did the tour was for the black sand beach so it was disappointing to not be able to go. We also wanted to go to the winery, but weren’t able to do so because the roads on the other side were collapsing. Something about the rain and water, which is why ours ended at the National Park. So unfortunately, we had to go down the same way we went up, which took 2 hours. It was a very long day. 10 hours, so make sure you don’t have anything else planned for the day. We got some good pics and enjoyed the beauty of it. The good thing is, it’s a one time buy so I’d do it again if I’m ever back in Maui. Hopefully I’ll be able to do what I wasn’t this time around.
