Absolutely fantastic!!!

The Shaka guide app is a true game changer! We downloaded the Road to Hana and the Haleakala tours and they made all the difference on our drives to both destinations! They were perfectly aligned to where we were on the GPS. They were entertaining, informative, and filled with useful tips that made it even more enjoyable! I highly recommend this app to everyone! It will make your road trips so much fun and will ensure that you don’t miss a thing!!

Absolute Must

We used the Shaka Guide for our Road to Hana trip in Maui. It was fabulous! Lots of history and guided us through the entire trip seamlessly. I can’t imagine how boring and the things we would’ve missed had we not used this guide. Definitely a must if you are taking this drive!

Highly recommend. The speech is ver clear and the location determination is very accurate. I will buy again when I visit another National Park in the future.
