Good questions.
A few things
before you go.
What exactly am I buying?
A digital ZIP containing matching HTML and PDF guides, a plain-text copy, schematic route map, navigation links, and phone instructions. This is a self-guided plan; attraction admission, parking, food, and transport are separate. You own your guide forever: return to your account any time to view it online or download the latest updated version.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Save the ZIP in Files on iPhone or your file manager on Android and extract it. Use the plain-text guide if your phone’s HTML preview is limited. Navigation links open in the relevant app or browser when supported.
Can I use the guide without cell service?
The saved guide and route overview work locally. The ZIP does not include offline road maps or turn-by-turn navigation. Download the area in your navigation app and prepare your route while connected.
Will my route include current closures and detours?
Route links open in Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze, which calculate directions using their latest available road, traffic, closure and detour information. This information depends on your app, coverage and connection and may not include every restriction. Check official road alerts, review the route before leaving and obey posted closures. The included SVG is a saved route overview.
Are these trips suitable for everyone?
Each preview tells you the time commitment and activities. Beach sand, stairs, steep paths, weather, and road access can affect suitability. Choose shorter options and check accessibility at the stops you want to visit.
How current is the information?
Each guide shows the date and time it was last updated and the time of year it is best experienced; some stops also note their own best season. Roads, services, prices, tides and rules can change, so every guide includes official sources to check before departure. Saved downloads do not update automatically. You own your guide forever: return to your account any time to view it online or download the latest updated version.
How do I get my download after paying?
Stripe returns you to an order page with download buttons after payment is verified. Save your ZIP and bookmark that order page; reopen it to refresh expired download links. No account or subscription is required. Please keep the order link private.
You don’t need a whole week away.
