Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s West Maui Scenic Drive tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You’re approaching Māʻalaea, home to Maui Ocean Center and the boat harbor. For a break from outdoor exploring, the aquarium gives you a close look at Hawaiian marine life.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in the West Maui Scenic Drive.
“You’re coming up on Nākālele Blowhole, where ocean waves force water through a hole in the lava and send spray into the air.”
Heads up The spray is unpredictable; the exposed lower rocks are hazardous.
“Pāpawai Scenic Lookout is coming up, with a wide view over Māʻalaea Bay straight from the parking area.”
Heads up The small parking area can fill during whale season.
“You’re coming up on D.T. Fleming Beach Park, a long sandy shore backed by ironwood trees. I’d choose it for a beach walk or a break in the shade.”
Heads up The shorebreak can be too rough for an easy swim.

“We just used the app this morning on our drive around Cades Cove and it provided a lot of info along the way and greatly enhanced our experience! And to top it off, we saw a female black bear and her two cubs just before the halfway point!”
