Customer Reviews
Tried the Grand Teton National Park tour instead of paying for a guided trip. I was hoping to get some ideas on where to go and a route for the day but I got so much more! The app is really well designed. Although it does not work with Android Auto, the audio was sufficient to guide us from one destination to the next. We really enjoyed the stories that went along with each of the stops. some were historical, some were scientific, all were entertaining.
L Scott | 1 day ago | Androidonly reason it isn't 5 stars is because it did not have android auto integration and the music quality was very low. It was otherwise perfect. extremely helpful. Great, relaxing tunes for the drive even if they were low quality. the guide was informative and interesting. directions were pretty good, though I would have loved seeing the app on the screen in the car. It was worth every penny though.
Brian Caples | 2 days ago | AndroidUsed Shaka tours to experience all of Maui. It was amazing! I highly recommend!
George Ronkette | 2 days ago | AndroidNew treasures found!
We’ve been to Kauai many times and thought we knew it well. The Shaka guided tours took us to new sites and gave us very interesting Hawaiian history along the way. We love the ability to go at our own pace, spending more or less time at locations vs the schedules of much higher priced guided bus tours. We have the Kauai bundle as well as tours covering all of Oahu and the Maui Road to Hanna. 5 stars for customer service as well. We had an issue with the download to a second, backup phone. I chatted from the app and had immediate contact with a real person. Solved in 2 minutes. Thank you Shaka!!
