Perfect self paced tour - This audio tour was perfect! it allowed us to explore on Maui at our own pace, in our own way, and at a great price. We learned some interesting facts about Hawaii. I would recommend this to anyone that isn't afraid to drive themselves. The roads are very curvy and narrow at times but well worth the experiences and sights.

Adventurous and at time surprisingly narrow and difficult drive but what a view - We enjoyed the historical knowledge while driving. It could have been a little interactive, like look to the left you will see a small waterfall and river coming up, you can stop and go for a hike.. to your right after the blow hole is the dragon tooth trail

Trip to Hana - The audio kept breaking up when we were on our trip it would come back, but sometimes we would miss a few things because we had already passed them

Beautiful day trip to Hana - We had a great time and this really helped us to see the things we really wanted to see. The only downfall was every now and then it would stop working on my iPhone and we would pass something before it would start talking again. Other than that, we had a great trip.
