Q&A
A: There's no strict age limit for this audio tour, but it's best for kids who can sit in a car for a while and follow along with the narration. Young kids might enjoy the stories, but you may want to bring some snacks and toys to keep them entertained. The flexibility of the tour makes it easy to stop if they need a break!
A: Yes, you can totally do this tour without cell service! Just download the tour on the Shaka Guide app before you go, and you'll have everything you need offline. It’s perfect for the Big Island where cell service can be spotty in some areas.
A: Great question! The tour mainly involves driving, so dress comfortably for being in the car. You might want to wear lightweight clothes and sandals since you'll be stopping at various sights. If you plan on walking at places like Puuhonua, definitely wear comfy shoes.

Thinking of gifting the Big Island Kona Coast Audio Tour!
Hey everyone! I'm considering this audio tour for my parents who are visiting the Big Island next month. They love history and exploring places at their own pace. The idea of hearing stories about King Kamehameha and Captain Cook sounds amazing! Do you think this is a good gift? Any tips from those who've used it?
Just did the self-guided tour around Kona, and it rocked!
I recently took the Big Island Kona Coast Self-Guided Audio Tour and it was such a cool experience! The way the app provides turn-by-turn directions is super helpful, and I loved stopping at Puuhonua to soak up the history. Honestly, I didn't expect the stories to be that engaging! I think it’s great for anyone who enjoys a laid-back exploration style.
