Consejos para la ciudad

Cómo moverse

Use smartphone app "GuideAlong" as you drive about.

The app is no different than having a tour guide in your car with you every step of the way. The audio amazingly prompts itself depending on where you are driving. There is another similar app called "Shaka Guide" that is as good or better. Highly recommended and a Big Bang for your buck as you navigate Kona.
