What Our Ohana is Saying:
“We downloaded Gypsy Maui and used it every day in Maui. Great information and great tips...funny too”

“If you are visiting Maui, you absolutely need to download this app. The guide gives so much valuable and interesting information while driving. During the Road to Hana, the guide gives must see stops that we normally would not know about. On the drive back, the guide dives into the history of Hawaii which made the drive itself so much easier. My wife and I ran this app every single time we were on the road. It’s worth the money.”

“We saw in another review, the user named the tour guide. Our family named him Toddson Dukelely (yes there is a story behind that). This app was super relevant and when plugged into the Car Play app in the rental car, he just piped in with his stories and instructions as we drove. This app definitely enhanced our trip and was very informative about the entire island and it’s history. Worth purchasing, no doubt!”

Important Info:
iPad Compatibility: Use an iPad with GPS (WiFi + Cellular) for full functionality.
Battery: GPS drains battery—bring a car charger.

No Expiry: Tours never expire—revisit anytime.

### 5/5 — PopeyeGP

*2026-02-04, version 3.7.2*

We were fascinated how seamless (via GPS) the tour direction/highlights/advice kept us aware of where we were and when we could seek out fantastic travel options. Totally made the difference between just renting a car on Maui and being to max out our travel enjoyment. A private docent. MAHALO!!! why don’t you?

### 5/5 — Maui Gypsy guide driving tour

*2026-01-27, version 3.7.2*

We downloaded this app to accompany us on the Road to Hana. It was invaluable in our travel! We felt like we had a tour guide right there with us for a fraction of the price of a regular guided tour plus we were able to do things at our own pace. I highly recommend!

### 1/5 — No idea how to use this app

*2025-11-27, version 3.7.2*

Maybe I am too old but have no idea how to use this app

When you click on tour that you want to explore there is half page sheet with map and markers. You can’t zoom and see those markers

There isn’t even tutorial on how to use and navigate this app

Again I might be too old and this app is for cool people

### 5/5 — The best guide!

*2025-04-13, version 3.7.1*

We’re soooo happy we found this guide. We tried other ones too but none of them were as engaging and informative as this one

### 5/5 — Road to Hana

*2025-03-25, version 3.7.1*

Love this app! Terrific way to tour places while on vacation

### 5/5 — Great Narrator

*2024-11-10, version 3.7.1*

This was a very informative tool while visiting Maui for the first time. The narrator is comical and has a great way of getting the message across. The app connected to our rental car just great. 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Great help!!

*2022-02-06, version 3.5.2*

Very helpful as we navigated the Road to Hana!!

### 3/5 — The app does not warn you about closing times.

*2021-06-09, version 3.5.2*

Narration is wonderful and it feels like he’s a live guide. Downside:  We were sold on his “must see” locations on the Road to Hana. We arrived at one of the locations and were turned away, told we needed a reservation. And when we got to the sacred pools, the parks department was not allowing people in because they were closing soon. So, we passed a Lot of great sights to get there, and we were disappointed that they were closed. We felt like the app should have given us time constraint warnings.  It’s a long journey... then to be turned away is a letdown. One more thing, there was a stunning pool with 2 waterfalls that we would have passed up listening to the Gypsy App. This was my most favorite pool!  I recommend the gypsy app inform about locations and help travelers be wary of time constraints.

### 5/5 — Awesome App!

*2021-06-07, version 3.5.2*

This was such a wonderful tool in making our experience incredibly worry free. It was perfect and we were actually sad when we didn’t hear the guide’s voice anymore. We chose to keep going! The best experience of our trip!

### 1/5 — Do my recommend

*2021-06-05, version 3.5.2*

The tour is written from a western viewpoint. If you are interested in hearing about the sugar mill, idyllic plantation life, etc this is the app for you. “When sailors arrived they found the island women were scantily clad and willing to trade themselves”
