Great way to make your way around the island. Wish I had more time so I could have taken more advantage of the tours. Got all the big island tours, used to south island tour, volcanoes tour, and north island tour. Easy to pick and choose where you wanted to go. Did some things I didn't know of or planned, glad they were recommended on the tour.

We did all 5 tours on the big Island and really enkoyed the information and guidance. The major issue we had with the app was if you tried to click on a location to get the description to see if you want to stop the app would crash. We would have to re-start the app and sometimes you had already passed the location and would have to turn around. Turning around is not easy as they are 2 lane narrow road, so we ran 2 phones one to read stop & one to map to locations.

The app is excellent. It really does a great job with selecting interesting places. The commentary is also great because it gives you knowledge wouldn't haven known otherwise. The only issue I had was it always warned me of up coming navigation directions late. In many case, I had already missed the correct turn. We ended up having the screen open to see the upcoming directions.
