Road to Hana GyPSy Drive Tour

The included maps were lame, since nothing is labeled and there doesn't seem to be anyway to view them separately from the tour. The audio narration was top notch and was really helpful in giving a heads up about upcoming stops and where to park. Automatic GPS markers worked really well even when there was no data coverage. The app also had different narration, depending on if you were outbound or inbound. Overall well worth the cost.

This is the most amazing and helpful app I have ever had. I was leary about paying for it but it was worth every cent. Very informative and the narrative is wonderful. Not only does the narrator tell you the best stops along the way but you also get a total history of Hawaii on the way back.

Was very helpful on our Hana drive yesterday. Loved the history lesson on the way home! Would have missed so much without this app. Definitely worth the few dollars. Does use alot of battery though, so make sure your phone is plugged in for the trip.

This is a must if doing road to Hana, great directions even without reception, helpful tips on where to pull over, very well paced. Local history lessons along the way made it very educational and enjoyable. If you're doing road to Hana in one day, this app will ensure you see all the must see stops as well as other attractions so you can really get the most out of your day. Very well done!!!

Bought this at the last minute on a whim and was not disappointed. Did a great job with narration and describing areas to see. Bit of a battery hog so make sure your phone is on charge

All around Maui they sell CD tours for the road to Hana drive, but this all is GPS based so it knows where you are, directs you to turn offs, prioritizes "must see" locations...It's LITERALLY like having an actual tour guide in the car with you. FANTASTIC APP, worth every penny!

This is one of the best apps i have ever spent money on. The tips while we were drivig the Road to Hana were awesome. It saved us yime by looking at only the best sights and the commentary was great for the whole family

This app made the drive to (and past) Hana very enjoyable. Not only does it tell you which stops are the best for sightseeing but also helps you find the laybys to park in. on the drive back the narrator gives you an audio history lesson about how hawaii came to be the state it is today. Loved the app, well worth the purchase! 5* P.S we named the Narrator Phillip, as he was with us for the entire journey!

If you choose to go on this journey (which I recommend) and drive on your own (which I also recommend assuming you can handle a little adventure) this guide integrates with drive seamlessly like a real life tour guide, telling you where to stop and explore and telling local stories/info along the way

Worth every penny, if I could pay more I would have. Hands down made our trip so much easier and more fun. We spent 8 hours going out and only 2 coming back. Did pretty much everything you could do.

I don't know what the point of this app is. It does not show maps unless you have data. The audio bites don't play automatically as advertised, you have to tap them and they play some tidbit about something nowhere near you. Worthless and embarrassing, save your $5 and buy a paper map

Can't imagine doing the road to hana (and back) without this brilliant app.

Amazing app definitely wouldn't have been able to enjoy the road to hana as much as we did without this app ! Worth every penny!

Best 5 bucks I spent in Maui. 10/10 would download again.

I rarely review apps, but if you plan on adventuring on the road to Hana you need this app! Your cell service might disappear but your GPS will not and this app will guide you all over the east coast of maui. I would've paid a lot more than $5 for the security this app provides! Enjoy!!

We chose to drive the Road to Hana ourselves instead of taking a tour. We would have been lost without this amazing app! Not only did it spell out every possible stop along the way,but it told you how busy they would be,if they would really worth be stopping at, and how much time you should spend at each one. It gave amazing history and facts of the island that could only have been learned through extensive research. By far, a must have if you are visiting Maui, Hawaii!!!

Great for the Road to Hana. The only thing I wish it had was a few highlighted stops for the ride back. The whole ride back is all Hawaiian history, entertaining but would have liked to be pointed out a few of the key stops since we missed one or two on the way up. 5 stars regardless.

MUST BUY if you're doing the road to Hana! Really helped us see everything and get the most out of our day and the voice was really interesting and easy to listen to. I'm so glad we used it, well worth the money. And the history of Hawaii you get on the route home was great too, can't recommend this enough!

The app uses your GPS, and the guide was spot on, telling what was right around the corner, including parking spots and small details that could easily be missed. Lots of great info. $5 is definitely worth it!

Great app with lots of info. We discovered a different location using this app that we didn't know about on our first bus tour.

This app might just save your life on this dangerous yet amazing drive. Ok, so this is the first app I have spent money on and even if it cost $20 it would have been well worth it. Not only does it give you amazing tips and tricks, hidden must-see locations and suggestions on where to eat and what to do, but also educates you on local culture and how to stay safe on this precarious drive and keep you from irritating the locals. I tried the free apps and they are pretty worthless, bite the bullet and buy it

Made the trip so enjoyable and way less stressful. No trying to personally sync map and guide book or wondering if we should stop when we saw other cars at roadside. Timing and relevance of info was perfect. We used Spotify to play a downloaded playlist of Hawaiian music and had no issues with them working together. Cliff (our name for him) had smiles on our faces for most of trip. Really enjoyed history content for return drive. Highly recommend this app. Start early we found you need 10+ hours.

This app worked perfectly and was the best guide for the road to Hana. This is the must-have app if you are going to do the drive. Just be sure to download it over wi-fi. Doesn't use any data when the app is actually running.

Besides being very well designed and providing really timely directions, this app provided so much history in its narratives that we felt we were getting a very personalized tour. Outstanding, especially for the cost.

The app itself is awesome - not having to worry about what mile marker you're at to hit "next track" on the CD player is fantastic. Everything works exactly as it should. The problem is with the content. We are a 30 year old couple who likes adventures and this isn't the first time we drove the Road to Hana. Many of our absolute MUST SEE places weren't even mentioned. I can imagine some of this for liability reasons - and potentially to keep the potential audience as broad as possible. Needless to say - if you're driving the road to Hana to find adventurous stops - Don't rely on this app.

As other people have said the app only works when your screen is on and the app is open so make sure you have a car charger. The only thing that would have made this better is the ability to move around the map manually it only allows you to be centered on your current location so you can't look ahead at what's next.

We used this app on our road trip to Hana yesterday. It was mildly confusing to get it started because the start just looks like a word bubble but aside from that this is a perfect app. It was great to have something to pay attention to on the way back as well since we had seen all of the sights going to Hana.

The narration is a little cheesy at times but overall it's really well done and at least entertaining. Very educational and really made our drive great!!

What a wonderful app! It truly made the drive more enjoyable and gave real time clues to the rode and our own private tour guide! It would be nice it it operated with the screen off and we could have music in the background along with the voice. All in all, wonder app!

This is better than any map, CD, or guide for the road to Hana. The narrator gives excellent suggestions for stops along the way, and the app follows your GPS so it points out exactly where you need to turn off. The commentary for the return trip was equally entertaining! Be sure to bring a car charger or backup battery to keep your phone going for the full trip. Would absolutely use another GyPSy guide

This app is great. Its very interesting and made the drive to Hana a lot more educational! The narrator has a pleasing voice. Our tactic made the app not as useful as its intention, we decided to drive full on through everything to get to the gulch and the sacred pools as early as possible to avoid crowds and tired legs for the big hike to the waterfall and then turn around and stop along the way back. It would have been amazing if that could be an option for the app but still worth the $5.

Just finished the road to Hana usimg the app. It is a must very entertaining especially the ride home. Dont pass it up.

I live in Maui for the winters and have driven to Hana a few times in the past. This app is an absolute MUST HAVE for the drive. It felt like we were losing a friend when we finished our trip. Also, it's worth noting that it doesn't require data as it downloads all of the maps required when you install it. Thanks guys, great app!

This gem was worth every penny and more. Great information going both directions and kept wife and I interested. The sites it strongly suggested were great and I feel like we did it right, but on our own time. Highly recommended!!!

We just finished our road to Hana trip and this companion app was great to have along the way. From warning us of good spots and good eats, it was way better than doing the drive solo because the timing of the audio was very well placed. Recommended for anyone doing the trip for the first time.

This is a very simple app that gets the job done. We actually named the guy talking Clyde. We had zero issues with the app, and Clyde always came on when his guidance was needed. It is worth the money, you will get a great tour out of it. Thank you!

I thought the app had great information and the voice was easy to listen to. I didn't like the fact that you have to manually click each selection, I thought since it was connected via GPS it would auto play the info instead of requiring someone to follow along on the map. I also didn't like how close together the arrows were, since you can't zoom in too far we often heard the trip back one instead of the main trip. Bit of a hassle.

This app is awesome, we completed the road to Hana yesterday and wouldn't have made it through without the app! The app gave lots of history to Hana on the way back, great stories!

App doesn't work.

Just completed the drive to Hana and back using this app with my girlfriend and we both loved it. Showed us a few places we would've never thought to even visit while giving us some interesting history and stories along the way. I'd highly recommend this app to anyone doing the trip. My only issue is that you have to leave the screen on as the app won't stay running in the background but besides that it's great. We had fun and learned a lot.
