We first found out about Shaka Guide before our trip to Maui a couple years ago. From our 10-year-olds up to our 18-year-olds and ourselves, we all really enjoyed the guide, commentary, etc for our trip to Maui. Fast forward to last summer and we went to Glacier national Park and my son said it would be cool if there was a Shaka Guide for here… i’m glad we looked because we bought that Parks tour and it was equally informative and entertaining. This morning, I purchased Big Bend National Park, we used it for the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive today and will use it again tomorrow in the park. This really is one of the best apps! The whole family loves it.

I’m I. The middle of a solo road trip to several of the national parks out west. Shaka Guides have been the best companion! Turn for turn directions are spot on; I know what sites are coming up without having to shuffle around a map while driving; and the stories and facts are great! Also enjoying the music on between! I highly recommend Shaka Guides to everyone, but especially solo travelers!!
