Review of the $19.99 Road to Hana audio tour, with GPS narration, stop-by-stop tips, costs, reservations, timing, and practical advice.

“It does not work. We spent more than half an hour and had to download two separate apps just for it to never give us the audio guide or offer any clear instructions about how to get it. This audio guide takes you in circles making you download more and more (but never the actual guide). Do not use this.”

Review of Banyan Tree Divers’ certified Maui shore scuba outing, with turtles, reef life, gear, safety review, pricing, and booking tips.

“I had to change my dive at the last second and they were able to accommodate me! Our dive guide had a wonderful balance of “we’re here to have fun” and maintaining essential safety protocol. Sometimes places are extremely lax, and they threaded the needle perfectly. Will book with them again next time I’m on island”
