Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here’s how it works:


  • GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk. Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
  • The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go.

Pretty cool huh? We think so! Check out our tours and let’s explore together.

We bought the Shaka audio guide to the Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. It was a great experience. It was comprehensive and entertaining. We toured through the park and we had a better experience for having used it. The price was very reasonable.

You will not be disappointed! This was a delightful way to experience the big island. The app works off GPS so it works and gives directions even when you’re in restricted service areas. Info is accurate and incredibly helpful… turn by turn. We LOVED the Kohala tour (STUNNING VIEWS) and listening to the history behind this beautiful island (and lovely music when Uncle isn’t talking). It made the experience really special. We’ll be using this app for the rest of our time here and can’t wait to explore some National Parks on the mainland with the Shaka Guide. Thanks for a great day!

Just finished an amazing day at Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii, and used the Shaka Guide throughout. We purchased the National Park tour and it just worked - it was really amazing and we can’t recommend it enough!
