Favorite Part of the Trip!

I happened to hear about the Shaka Tours Maui app when we first arrived on the island, and I’m so glad we did. We bought the Maui Bundle, and it was absolutely worth it. The directions were spot on (my kids were convinced the narrator was literally following us 😂). We started with the Classic Road to Hana tour (wish we’d downloaded the Loop too!), then did the West Maui Coastline Tour, and also the Sunset & Stargazing at Haleakalā tour. Every time we got in the car, the kids asked us to turn on the tour guide; that says it all. One of my kids said the tours were his favorite part of our 11 days on the island. The narration was entertaining and engaging, with awesome stories, legends, and really helpful tips and tricks along the way. These tours truly made our trip to Maui! We are officially hooked!! It enhanced our entire Maui experience and made exploring so easy and fun for the whole family. Highly recommend!

Love this app

My Wife and I have been using this app for many years. At first, it was just for the Hawaiian Islands. When they came out with Stateside guides we were instantly onboard. The new Shaka app which puts every tour at your fingertips has streamlined the process. The app will take you to hidden gems and entertain you along the way. Much better than a bus tour since you can stop and start the tour at your leisure. My favorite tour, so far, has been the Road to Hana. Thank you guys for so many fun journeys.

We have thoroughly enjoyed using Shaka Guide on the Big Island, Maui, and Oahu, and we look forward to using it when we return to the mainland. The developers have made the app and the tours informative, entertaining, and literally foolproof.
