Description

There are 200+ audio points that play automatically along the scenic drive, featuring the best things to see and do, stories, tips and driving directions.

Professional tour guides share advice on how to prioritize your time at recommended “not to be missed” viewpoints, suggested side-trips and places of interest.

Tours work offline, using free GPS signal and location services, so no data roaming, network, or wifi is required while touring.

It’s Just Like Having a Tour Guide in Your Car™

WHAT TO EXPECT:
The Road to Hana is one of the world’s most scenic drives and a popular sightseeing activity to see Maui’s spectacular waterfalls, black sand beaches, bamboo forests, lava rock formations and amazing ocean views as you wind your way through 620 curves and 59 bridges.

If you prefer travelling independently, at your own pace, GyPSy Guide provides the best Road to Hana tour experience, along with the freedom to choose what you enjoy; squishing the black sand between your toes at Wai’anapanapa, hiking the Pipiwai Bamboo Trail, or maybe time to enjoy an extra slice of banana bread.

You can’t help but cheer on the world class windsurfers at Ho’okipa. And you won’t need to worry about photoshopping the Rainbow Eucalyptus at the Ke’anae Arboretum or the stunning contrast between blue water and black lava rock at Ke’anae Peninsular.

Take a moment to cool off with a quick swim at the pristine Hamoa Beach and see where Haleakala National Park descends from the summit to the sea and the “Seven Sacred Pools” of Oheo at the end of the drive.

With such a long day of exploring (expect 8-12 hours), it’s important to know the 5 “not to be missed” stops, and the many more suggestions if you have time. Part of the secret to enjoying the journey is knowing how not to waste your time, and we have tips for that as well.

On the return drive from Hana, we’ll point out the not to be missed stops again as well as tell you stories about Hawaii’s fascinating history and rich culture.

Please note Highway #31 ‘backside route’ is not recommended for driving. Rental car insurance void. Road can be closed for repairs, mudslides and flash floods.

BATTERY USAGE:
++ Continued use of GPS/Location Services in the background increases battery usage. We strongly recommend taking a cigarette style (DC outlet) car charger. Avoid using a direct connection to the USB port of a rental vehicle.

IPADS:
** iPad models must include a GPS chip. Please note that Apple only install these on the iPad Wifi + Cellular models. Wifi only iPad models have limited location service capabilities and are unable to play commentary automatically.

This is a must

Su57H on

When we read about the Road to Hana we new we wanted to see all the highlights. This app was fantastic as it was really like having your own tour guide. The key stops were highlighted in advance, lots of snippets were shared and the gps made our journey hassle free.

Great app if you’re doing drive to Hana

Smir123456 on

This app is superb and I would even say a must have if you’re doing the road to Hana. The narrator is incredibly informative, almost like you have a tour guide in the car. The instructions and guidance he gives along the route is fantastic and helps to choose your destinations as there is ALOT to see. The only reason I mark it 4 star is the app needs a bit of personalisation, eg. choosing the type of sights you’d like to see. Otherwise amazing app, very very recommended.

Stop doing research and just get this app!

If you’re driving to Hana this is THE app to get! No data roaming needed... and it always tells you (in great detail!) what’s coming up well before you get there so you can decide to stop or keep driving. My only suggestion would be to let you run the trip in reverse. The history of Hawaii commentary was interesting, but we skipped a lot of the stops on our way to Hana because we wanted to do them on the way back - but the app wasn’t helpful for that unless we moved into manual mode.

Superb

We took the trip yesterday and the App worked perfectly. The information was spot on. So much easier than referring to a guide book, no worrying about if you had missed a turn or a point of interest-the App keeps you informed all the way. I liked the commentary too - and thought warmed to narrator - like having a knowledgable friend in the back seat!

Genuinely made our trip to Hana better

We from the uk. We’re slightly worried about driving in the US. Had planned to use google navigation but were suggested this from or rental car company. We were dubious to pay and download, but honestly this app, hints, navigation, description and history made our journey! I could not recommend more. Happy Hana.

Tour guide in your own car

So glad someone recommended this app to us. Invaluable information throughout and really enjoyed the history of the Hawaiian people. Excellent

Worth every penny

davepage1 on

We really enjoyed the tour. I was sceptical before we started but it works flawlessly and really made the journey more interesting. It also helps by suggesting places to stop, and more importantly those to avoid. The history of Hawaii on the return leg was good too. It also plays over music and turns it down when the talking starts. We played Hawaiian music while we drive which helped the vibe.

Excellent!

If you are driving the road to Hana, this app is a very worthwhile. The commentary on the places which you pass is interesting and informative. Very helpfully it also tells you what NOT to see or do, thereby saving time for the really best parts of the trip. For the return journey there is commentary on the history of Hawaii. Again, this is done very professionally and informatively. The commentator's own personal views come also across at times, which I thought made it more engaging.

Excellent

Used this on our first trip to Maui - was skeptics at first but it was great - enough information to be useful without being irritating. Well worth the price

Well worth 4.99!

This app was awesome! Use a lightening cable to connect it to your rental car and the audio plays throughout the car without using any data all the way to Hana and back again. The tour guide's voice is great and he's funny too! The app enabled us to have our best day in Maui during our honeymoon on the island. Highly recommend!
