AMAZING GUIDE!
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!
Captain Hokie | 3 weeks ago | iOSAfter friend's recommendation, we used the app for our tour of Volcanoes National Park on Hawaii. Amazing! It turned our four our road trip into a professional guided tour! Highly recommend it for ant National Park visit!

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.
