“A must have for Maui - Came across this app on Trip Advisor and I cannot say enough good about it! It has completely changed the way we vacation. It is probably the most thorough, useful, and exact tour guide I have ever experienced (even including the live tours I have done!) I have done a few tours on Maui with this app and it never gets old. It has everything! Including: interesting facts between stops, exact directions to many well-known and less well-known stops, tips for navigating different roads, weather cautions, tips on scheduling out your time depending on when you start the tour, up-to-date food options and restroom locations, and to round it all out - chill island songs between locations!
