GyPSy Guide knows where you are and which direction you are heading, and plays commentary automatically about the things you are seeing, plus stories and tips and advice.
EXPLORE LIKE A LOCAL
It’s just like having a local friend to show you around. And that friend just happens to be a professional tour guide.
GREAT VALUE
The same information you would get on a bus tour or from a guide book, for just a fraction of the price. And you control the itinerary and schedule.
WORKS OFFLINE
No data, cellular or even wireless network connection needed while touring. Download over Wi-Fi before you tour. Anyone can use them with no need for roaming data – even visiting from another country.
DRIVING TOUR ROUTE
This tour includes the most popular sightseeing stops and many more:
1) Pukalani
2) Makawao
3) Hosmers Grove
4) Kalahaku Lookout
5) Haleakala Summit and Crater
6) Plus many more scenic viewpoints
We recommend giving yourself at least a 1/2 day to drive the Haleakala Tour.
If you are planning to visit for sunrise, a reservation with the national park is required and visitor numbers are controlled. At other times of the day, no reservation is required but there is a fee to enter the national park.
If you drive to the end of the Road to Hana, the national park pass is good for entrance to both the summit and the Kipahulu section of the park.
NOTES
Download the app on Wi-Fi from your network at home or use any free Wi-Fi network. Because the app is filled with audio commentary and maps, its larger than "normal" apps. Many phone/data networks may block the download because of size - so its important to download over a Wi-Fi network.
++ Continued use of GPS running in the background increases battery usage - we strongly recommend taking a cigarette style (DC outlet) car charger. This is much better than simply plugging into the USB port in a vehicle.
** iPad users - please note that WiFi-only iPads will not activate the commentary automatically. Any iPhone or network-capable iPad (WiFi + Cellular - whether you have a network connection or not) will work just fine.
