I survive the road to Hana
The best part about the Shaka Guide app is that it tells you exactly which stops to make and which ones to skip so you can get back to your starting point before sunset. Great history and stories on the way down the mountain is like listening to a podcast. And local music is amazing. I cannot survive the road to Hana without Shaka Guide apps. kudos to Shaka Guide team

Nelson Dorantes | 2 days ago | AndroidFabulous audio travel guides! Now covers the Four Corners/Great Circle. Just did a 2 1/2 week tour of many parks (Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase/Escalante, Capital Reef, Goblin Valley, Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley (and the roads to/from), and Grand Canyon (South). Shaka Guide had audio tours for all of them and more! They all worked excellently on my Android phone and Honda sound system (also on park shuttles!). Gave us countless helpful tips/sights we would have missed.
