For 5 vacations now I’ve used this app for tours and love it. So informative and an easy way to see the sights.
Gatess | 2 hours ago | iOSShaka Provided a Rich Experience—Big Bend Nat’l Park
There isn’t enough space to fit in all the benefits of Shaka Guide’s tour of Big Bend National Park. The GPS locator is accurate, and the narration is superb. Get ready for Park history, including but not limited to paleontology, geology, and land ownership. Stories of the past abound, interspersed with music that fits the topic and the period being talked about by the narrator. We learned so much more than any of the Parks’s 3 (very nice) Visitors Center could possibly teach us, plus, you learn while you’re touring—super efficient and entertaining! I cannot recommend Shaka Guide’s more heartily—regardless of which tour you choose.
Firstnten | 1 day ago | iOSGreat value. If you are hiring a car in Hawaii, you MUST download this app. It is fantastic. We did the North Shore tour. The directions were awesome, funny, and informative. We made a few wrong turns, driver error, and it would have been great for the app to recognise we had gone off course, but we quickly realised we had left the "blue line" in the navigation, and got back on track fairly quickly. Overall, it made our day so much better for the guidance it provided.
MnT Nullarbor | 1 day ago | AndroidGreat!
Wouldn’t have made the drive without it! worked great with no service and the storytelling was great. The only this is that the lava tube was closed so might be worth an update. Also maybe pointing out that the Nahiku Marketplace is really small bc we drove right past it thinking the line of food trucks wasn’t it haha

They did an awesome job of the Petrified Forest National Park. A great balance of facts, info and history.
Stevobadevo | 2 days ago | iOSPoipu Kauai
I thought the information was good, the stories interesting but I found that if we veered off the path of the guide, it was difficult getting back to the exact spot on the guide. Using mile markers would be helpful. We were in Poipu Kauai.
Zig and | 2 days ago | iOSRoad to Hana-Maui, HI
Audio Tour was Great!! If had any suggestions.. maybe an update- says places don’t take credit cards only Cash.. that has changed.

1234mjs | 2 days ago | iOSYou have to have this for Hana!
This absolutely made our trip to Hana! An almost 10 hour round trip adventure was filled with fun, music and history. We had a perfect day that I didn’t have to plan a thing for.

- 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.
