A self guided audio tour of Hawaii.
Explore a place where the Pacific Ocean dictates every aspect of life. From Polynesian chiefdoms established between 1000 and 1200 CE to the American military presence following the 1941 attack, Hawaii's story is written in volcanic rock and deep blue water. The culture here is a unique blend of indigenous Hawaiian roots and over two centuries of global migration. This is an archipelago of contrasts, where tropical farming, massive naval commands, and ancient traditions coexist.
In the app, 98 stops in Hawaii are narrated aloud, about 2h 47m of listening across 16 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.

"You are standing here, looking out over the water, and it's hard to grasp the scale of what."
"When you look at this shape you might think of a literal diamond, but the name actually comes from a moment of mistaken identity."
"You're standing on a beach that, frankly, is mostly manmade."
"You are standing in the spot where the rulers of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi lived for generations."
"The name Haleakalā means "house of the sun" in Hawaiian."
