    Great App and self guided tour!
    Robin_C, Apr 2024
    We only had one afternoon to explore the park and found this to be the perfect addition to our tour! Was informative and really well designed, allowing for us to deviate from the guided tour for a short hike and caught right back up when we got back on the road. Loved the flexibility it offered for how much time we had, we got to see the major points of interest in the park in 3-4 hours and loved the stories and history the guide provided! So happy I found this!

    Jennifer_Y, Apr 2024
    The narration was really good and the stories were really interesting! Be sure to drive the speed limit so that the narrator has enough time to finish all of the stories! We really enjoyed walking around the sulfur vents and learning about what causes them. We also really enjoyed driving all the way down to the Sea Arch and hearing tales from Hawaiian mythology.
