What To Expect
Kauai
As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route(s) to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;
Ha'ena State Park
Ha'ena State Park is essentially the end of the road as you drive around the north shore of Kauai. The three most popular things to see and do at the end of the Kuhio Highway is to visit Ke'e Beach, or Tunnels Beach which is also called Ha'ena Beach Park, and to walk the Kalalau Trail. This is also the trailhead for overnight hikers and campers heading to the Na Pali Coast. Due to the extremely limited parking availability, you must either reserve a parking space or use the shuttle service to access the park.

5.00The narration was clear, interesting and even edicational. And the price was reasonable. My wife and I are hard of hearing but we had our grandson with us so we had to use the sound from our phone rather than a direct feed into our hearing aids. We didn’t miss a word.
Great way to learn about & explore Kauai!

5.00The winds were whipping and rain was falling so having this option to still explore the island felt like we were on a tour. Highly recommend!

5.00This is my second time using the guides. First I used it for the Florida Keys then for the island of Kauai. I am a 77 year old solo traveler and love using these guides. They are simple to use and provide a bounty of interesting info in addition to precise directions and suggested side trips. I love that I can play music on Sirius radio and the guide will switch in and out with no prompting. I have recommended it to multiple friends who also love to travel
Self-guided tours hit all the sights.

4.00Our audio guide was amazing and definitely recommend downloading this ap. We nicknamed our guide BUTCH. It was if he was in the car and would tell us where to turn and what to expect on the road before we got there. It was like having another GPS in the car. Butch was Full of knowledge of the area the food and the culture. We will definitely download again for another road trip.
