The voice guided tour was perfect to listen to as we made the drive to Ocracoke Island. It was nice to learn more about the history of the area as we traveled south. Stopping at the light houses along the way made for nice breaks in the driving.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Heather, I’m glad my Cape Hatteras GPS tour helped on your trip to Ocracoke. It’s great you enjoyed the narration, learned history, and liked the lighthouse stops. If exploring more NC, visit Clingmans Dome Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Asheville. Happy exploring!

Poor gps for much of the trip except in town areas. Had to manually manage which reduced enjoyment of watching scenery
Response from Host, May 2026
Florence, I’m glad to hear you found my Cape Hatteras National Seashore GPS Audio Driving Tour informative, but I’m sorry the GPS experience affected your enjoyment. Could you let me know where the GPS issue occurred most often — outside town areas, between specific stops, or throughout the drive? I’d like to understand more so I can look into it further with my team. Please feel free to reach out anytime — I’m available daily from 9 AM–6 PM EST and happy to help.

Very Educational and awesome stops. Everything was explained and you can stop and enjoy the views, map starts right back up where you left off. No time limit.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Joyce, I'm glad you enjoyed the educational stories and excellent stops along Cape Hatteras. It’s great to hear the tour's flexibility lets you take in the views at your own pace. And yes, there is no time limit; it picks up where you left off. If you plan to explore more of North Carolina, don’t miss my Clingmans Dome Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, and Asheville. Happy exploring!

The App started as we came into each new area. We appreciated the explanations of what was available in the area, the history and legends, advice on activities that we hadn't heard of. It really enriched our time tremendously. We highly recommend this.
Response from Host, Jun 2024
Elenore,I’m thrilled you loved the Cape Hatteras tour! Sounds like it unearthed hidden gems and activities you might have missed. Self-guided tours with local insights are a great way to explore. For more national parks, check out my 25+ Park Bundle (Yellowstone, Zion, etc.) Happy travels!
