Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why do I need a drive guide when I already have a guide book?

Q. When is the best time to listen to the drive guide?

A. When driving around Kauai the audio tour can be very helpful, you can skip to the chapter where you currently are on the island. It is also helpful to listen to the drive guide while preparing for a Kauai vacation to orient yourself with the island.
