Road to Hana

Fantastic audio guide !!!

Jonusas Family | 5 days ago | iOS

Great Guide

So easy to use and made our Road to Hana drive so much more enjoyable. Will definitely be looking for other guided trips of theirs!

Amazing Tour

Our Road to Hana would not have been as wonderful and productive if it weren’t for the Shaka Guide. It made things so easy and less stressful. We stopped where we wanted and the guide was very explicit and timely in the directions and what to expect. Well worth the cost!!

A must have for road trips

Referred by a friend for the Road to Hana in Maui and we could not have been more impressed. It made the drive/journey so enjoyable, sightseeing like a pro and learning about the history of Maui and our surroundings. I can’t imagine what it would’ve been like without it! Would recommend this to anyone, and hope to try other tours in the future!

Road to Hana

Shaka guide for Maui was perfect for our trip on the Road to Hana! The app interfaces well with navigation so we didn’t have to touch our phones while driving. The stops were described early enough that we were able to make decisions on if we wanted to stop or keep driving. The history lessons on the way back were helpful to keep us awake on the drive back!

Perfect for Road to Hana

This was a must have for this trip. Worked great even with no cell signal.

Made our tours better 💕

We originally bought it for the Road to Hana tour and tried it out in Hawaii. Pretty quickly, we got hooked on the narration and the way it brings the surrounding landscape to life with interesting geographical insights while you drive. It was an easy decision to upgrade to the full version—and now, whenever we visit a national park, we make sure to have a tour ready to go so we can learn as we explore.

We used this app for tours both on Maui and Ohau. The app was absolutely worth the price of the tours. Im looking forward to trying it for tours on the mainland. The guides were well thought out and the info along the drive was fantastic. Strongly recommend the reverse road to Hana.

Shaka Driving Tours Rock!

We have loaded the driving tours for all the islands. Taken on Oahu, Maui and Kauai so far. The best tour ever found. I love the history and all the sights.

Maui and Kauai

Took 5 tours: all were interesting and informative. Best of all, the directions were spot on! Only negatives: quite a few of the recommended places to stop were closed (Sunday, Monday, before 10.30am, after 4pm). Some also needed advanced booking which was not apparent until arriving at the sight!
