This audio tour is worth it! 5 stars - This self guided audio tour was fantastic. Do not hesitate. Buy this and do it. Our favorite part was the stories the narrator told along the way

Beach experience was amazing every place we went in Oahu. - We stayed a few blocks away from Waikiki Beach. It was a fantastic trip. Visit a Notanical garden with a 3 mile s hike to falls to swim as base of falls grandchildren had a blast. Then we staed for thier dinner luau and show. Great experience for all. We visit the lagoon in front of Hilton Hawii Village. Perfect cam sanding place for grandchildren to practice thier snorkeling and see fish. They could rent paddle boats and stand up boards and more. Places to eat close by was very affordable I did not expect food to ber reasonable there. The Inernational Market Place had a low of good places to eat there and surrounging area. We stayed 14 days nad wish we could have stayed antoher 14.

Great tour!! - This was an EXCELLENT audio tour. The narration was entertaining and informative and the directions were spot on. One word of caution, be sure to find out the hours of any place you want to visit, as some close earlier than would be expected (ie: you can’t drive to the summit of Diamond Head after 4 pm). Otherwise, this was the best of both worlds because you could enjoy the island at your own pace, but had the knowledge of an experienced guide at the same time.

Fun, Self- guided tour - This was a great way to get a tour of the east shore of Oahu at our own pace. The app is perfect if you want to just drive around Oahu and explore. The app has the audio directions and also directions linked to Google/Apple maps as back up. The narration is fun and has alterations info about where you are. I had trouble with the download at first and customer service called us back on a Saturday morning to help us fix a very simple tech issue. It was wonderful because we were able to enjoy it the rest of the day!
