Not very user friendly. Once you get it figured out though it is a nice way to experience the island with some insight and backstories.

We used this self drive guide in Kauai. It was good and sent us in the right directions. It also gave some history on the island. Overall it was good

We purchased the tour that took us through Poipu and Kaloa area. We had 4 hours to fill and this was absolutely perfect! We loved the places they guided us to, the history and information behind the sites and the stories shared between locations. It was great to be able to go at our own pace and go back and listen to it again if we wanted to. The GPS guide was perfect. Great way to get to know the island and some of its history! Would totally do it again!

It is great once you’re able to figure out how to use it! We really enjoyed it how we it took almost an hour to figure it out- make sure you download it and get it working before you leave your WiFi. Customer service is great however they are only there until 6:00pm EST if you’re in a different time zone beware.

Very easy to follow. Interesting history lessons along the way. Especially liked stories about movies and tv show film sites. It was fun to see the Gillian’s Island set.

This download app worked well for our purposes. Be sure to begin at the starting point. You cannot start in the middle of the tour. Also, you have to check your driving speed so the narrator does not cut off before he is finished talking. Two programs downloaded, but I could only figure out how to use one. The narrator was interesting with good stories, sidelines, facts and island history. It was just the right length. We really enjoyed it !!

Tour was good, very informative. Was a little painful to start is Lihue only, when we were staying in Princeville. Would have been nice to have an option to start the tour in Princeville. Waimea Canyon and the park were fabulous, and the tour did a good job of directing us thru it. A few things could be updated on the tour, but overall, we loved it. Never would have found the secret beach! Never would have gone to Hanalei either.
