best tour guide app by far
I have used shaka guide for 3 national parks and the road to hana in maui. Most of my favorite stops and attractions from the tours are places i would have never found without Shaka Guide. I recommend this to everybody i meet during the tours, and now i’m recommending it to you…. it’s so worth it.
Autumn730 | 3 days ago | iOSAn invaluable resource!
My wife and I first used this app in 2017 during our honeymoon in Kauai and it was super helpful and entertaining. Now in 2026 we’re touring all 5 national parks in Utah and it’s as good as I remember. This will be a staple of all future trips.

This is app is amazing. Easy to work and follow. Love the stories and the information it gives you while you are driving. Can’t wait to use this app again on our next adventure!
Mimpyatt | 2 months ago | iOSLove Shaka Guides!
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!!

The app is constructed professionally. The guide offered practical advice to tour national parks with good recommendations of what to see and what to skip. The app has a CarPlay app so the map is easy to follow. The map lags a tiny bit so it is good to follow audio instructions for turns before the map shows the turn.
Lar28 | 2 months ago | iOSit's an amazing app. it helped me on my trip so much, it made the drive so much more interesting and gave very useful information. I used it for national parks
Daniela Becerra Gonzalez | 2 months ago | AndroidAMAZING GUIDE!
You will not be disappointed! This was a delightful way to experience the big island. The app works off GPS so it works and gives directions even when you’re in restricted service areas. Info is accurate and incredibly helpful… turn by turn. We LOVED the Kohala tour (STUNNING VIEWS) and listening to the history behind this beautiful island (and lovely music when Uncle isn’t talking). It made the experience really special. We’ll be using this app for the rest of our time here and can’t wait to explore some National Parks on the mainland with the Shaka Guide. Thanks for a great day!
Hummingthrulife8 | 3 months ago | iOSwonderful self paced tours! have done Hawaii and many national parks through Shaka guide!

We researched what we wanted to visit on Kauai but never would’ve been able to do them all without the ShakaGuide driving tour. Clear directions, options for personalization, and so much history. I can’t wait to use it again as we visit National parks on the mainland!
J&MCarr | 5 months ago | iOSBest guide by your side
Shaka Guide is an excellent travel app that we’ve used in Hawaii and in several national parks across the United States. It works especially well for families because it feels like having a personal guide with you throughout the trip. The app provides clear directions, interesting stories, and helpful tips at exactly the right moments, which makes exploring new places much easier and more enjoyable. Whether you’re driving through scenic routes or visiting major landmarks, Shaka Guide adds structure, fun, and educational value to the experience. It has become one of our go-to tools for family travel.
