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. WHAT YOU’LL SEE: Some of the highlights along the route include; • Ho’okipa Beach Park • Paia • Ke’anae Peninsular • Wai’anapanapa Park, Black Sand Beach • Hana • Hamoa Beach • Wailua Falls • Twin Falls • Upper Waikanai Falls (3 Bears) • Pools of O’heo (Seven Sacred Pools) • Pipiwai Bamboo Trail **Reservations to visit Wai'anapanapa State Park and black sand beach are now mandatory** 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. DOWNLOADING: The apps are larger in size in order to work offline. You must be on wifi to download as the store may block the download over cellular networks.

    This was a wonderful companion down the road to Hana. I love the must-do stops and other pro tips along the way. There was also some fascinating history on the route back. Worked offline with no glitches. I can’t imagine doing the drive without it.
  • Best road trip ever because of this guide!

    We were visiting Maui and decided we’d try the road to Hana. I had read about this app on other blogs and travel reviews. Hands down this was fantastic and we had the best experience of any of our self guided road trips. The gps narration was flawless and the narrator terrific with a great delivery, humor, and a wealth of information not only about the sights but the history as well. If you’re doing the road to Hana this is a must have companion.
  • Best app

    This app was fantastic for our family! It helped pass the time, especially on the way back when a little car sickness was threading. We learned so much about the history of Hawaii and all of the amazing things offered on the way to Hana.
  • Great tour guide

    However almost every segment either the first few words or the last few words were cut off. Made it rather annoying at times.

    Okaaaay! I might be a tiny bit dramatic; but not really. I am so incredibly grateful to have downloaded this app. I ended up doing the trip solo but I was okay with that! I am an adventurous soul. I ended up finishing a long drive (that started at 6:30 am) around 3.15 pm at Haleakala doing the Oheo pools and the epic waterfall hike. Anyway; scarfing down food in the parking lot at 6:15 pm I knew I’d be heading home in the dark. I had no idea how treacherous and dangerous it would be. I was facing a 3.5 hour drive back. A few close calls as the rain poured down. I was comforted only by the stories he told on my entire ride back. I was distracted from my fear of plunging to my death, crashing head on with people driving the opposite direction and getting lost which I somehow find myself doing more than I’d like to admit. I felt like I had a co pilot and friend with me. Thank you for this wonderful experience and helping me through the long drive back home!!!
  • Great app!!

    This app was a life savor!! It was spot on at every moment, didn’t require WiFi, and the guide was funny, historical, and entertaining. Totally worth it!!!! (If the actual guide is reading this a mongoose passed right in front of us after the spiel lol)
