Ultimate Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour of Kauai (Na Pali, Waimea), Hawaii

Overview
Recommended: Purchase one tour per car, not per person. Everyone listens together!

Buckle up for a tropical adventure you’ll never forget! Cruise through lush jungles, walk along pristine beaches, and dive into the history of the beautiful island of Kauai.

Learn about the culture and how everything changed when sugar plantations arrived. Hear about clashing cultures and… a failed Russian invasion? No, really!

Here's how it works: Within 30 mins, we'll send you two things: a unique password and an app. Download the app onto your phone and enter the password. Then download the tour inside. When you reach there, drive to the Kauai Visitors Bureau. Once there, launch the app and simply follow the instructions from there! Stick to our recommended route and speed limit for the best experience.

No expiration — The tour comes with lifetime validity!

Please provide additional information to assist in resolving the issue. Typically, the navigation problem is linked to a lack of location authorization. Throughout any event, I would gladly switch the tour for any of my other 100 tours in the United States. Please notify me. This tour is yours to keep for the rest of your life. It may be used for photos, a second evaluation at home, sharing with friends, and planning your future vacation here.

Do not buy this if you want to use it the same day. I purchased this as what I thought would be a fun last-minute thing to do on my last day in Kauai but was never able to use it because the tour provider didn’t send me the info I needed until the next day. I even selected the date I planned to use it when I checked out. Despite their delayed delivery, they will not give me a refund because in theory I could use the app “for a lifetime.” This just feels like a rip-off.

Our system shows that you received the tour within minutes, not the next day. We’d be more than happy to exchange the tour for another one, if you prefer.

Location permissions MUST be granted for the app to work. It will not be able to locate your position if location tracking permissions are denied.
