The best part about the Shaka Guide app is that it tells you exactly which stops to make and which ones to skip so you can get back to your starting point before sunset. Great history and stories on the way down the mountain is like listening to a podcast. And local music is amazing. I cannot survive the road to Hana without Shaka Guide apps. kudos to Shaka Guide team
Fabulous audio travel guides! Now covers the Four Corners/Great Circle. Just did a 2 1/2 week tour of many parks (Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase/Escalante, Capital Reef, Goblin Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley (and the roads to/from), and Grand Canyon (South). Shaka Guide had audio tours for all of them and more! They all worked excellently on my Android phone and Honda sound system (also on park shuttles!). Gave us countless helpful tips/sights we would have missed.
I originally purchased the Shaka Guide during a spontaneous New Years trip to Hawaii which quickly turned into 10 days of island hopping… …I was so impressed with those audio tours from our Hawaii trip, I recently added the Shaka Guide Tours for our trip to Glacier National Park - the audio tours are highly informative, entertaining, humorous (at times) and very accurate (based on GPS location). There is no cellular service within Glacier National Park, but as long as the Shaka Guide is downloaded prior to absence of service, the tours have no issues - our tour for Going to the Sun Road lasted for the full two hour drive with multiple pauses (for hikes / photos / shopping) from West to St Mary’s without missing a beat (the entire duration was closer to 6 hours). I could not recommend the Shaka Tour Guide higher - very well researched, commentated, and accurately laid out. I will definitely be purchasing more Shaka Tours in the future…
We used Shaka guide in Hawaii for road to Hana and gave it a try for Bryce. Loved it as much as the Hana tour. Normally parks have signs explaining certain aspects of wildlife, history, or things to look for at viewpoints but Bryce didn’t have any of that info posted. Listening to the tour while driving was awesome! It explained different walkways, hikes, wildlife, history, founder of Bryce etc. Loved it. Also I had a slight mishap with cell service and ended up paying for the tour twice. Super quick email response and a no-hassle refund for the second purchase. Most companies wouldn’t have even responded or cared about my mistake, so thank you! I will be recommending and using Shaka guide again
The Shaka guide was our ideal companion on the Road to Hana. The User Interface was flawless. The commentary along the way was great. I didn’t feel as if we missed anything. This was my first time on the RTH in 25 years. The first time was with a cassette tape and a map. Big improvement 😂. As we returned to Paia Town my wife asked what we paid, I told her $19.99. She said that was the best bargain of the trip. Big thanks to the Shaka guide!
We bought the Maui bundle. It was our first time driving to Hana but we didn't want to go with a tour. I read that Shaka Guide was highly recommended if you want to go at your own pace. They help you every step of the way and you can skip places if you don't feel like it. The stories and background music was really great! We didn't get bored and we learned a lot about Hana and Maui in general. The bundle also comes with the Haleakala tour and it was also very helpful. I highly recommend this app if you want to do DIY tour in Maui. The Maui bundle is a great deal.
