Simply download our self-guided audio tour, plug in your headphones, open the map that comes with your download and head to the tour starting point.

Q&A

Q: Is this audio tour suitable for kids? What ages do you think would enjoy it?

A: I took my kids, ages 8 and 12, and they loved it! The audio content is engaging enough for younger audiences, and the pauses let you stop for snacks or to explore. Just make sure they’re okay with walking for a couple of hours. It’s super flexible, so you can tailor the experience to what your kids can handle.

Q: What should we wear for the self-guided tour? Any tips for comfort?

A: Definitely wear comfy shoes! You’ll be walking quite a bit, and it’s hot in Honolulu. I wore a light t-shirt and shorts, which were perfect. Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat, too. It can get sunny, especially around the Iolani Palace area. A backpack for water and snacks is a good idea!

Q: Can this be done on a rainy day, or do they cancel it?

A: You can totally do it on a rainy day! The audio tour is self-paced, so if it rains, just grab an umbrella and go. The audio files can be paused whenever, and you can duck into shops if it gets too wet. Just be careful on slick sidewalks. It’s really about how much you want to embrace the weather!

Just did the Discover Honolulu tour and wow, what a treat!

I recently did the self-guided audio tour of Honolulu and it was awesome! The Aloha Tower and Iolani Palace were total highlights. I loved being able to pause and grab a bite at a local café. I did the whole thing in about 2.5 hours, including shopping time! Definitely recommend it for anyone who loves to explore on foot.

Thinking about gifting this audio tour experience!

My friend is going to Oahu next month and I’m considering getting them this self-guided audio tour. It looks fun and educational! Anyone done this tour and think it’s worth it? How does it compare to guided tours?
