Great Travel Partner
We used Shaka tours on Oahu and Maui and loved having a tour guide. The directions were accurate and extremely helpful. We got a great overview of both islands, learned a bit of history, and enjoyed the music. We'll take them with us again soon!

So glad we were told of Shaka Guide Tours when we visited Oahu! So easy to use, directions were spot on, locations were all the popular ones & local treasures that you’d never find on your own. And you hear stories, legend, history, & location themed music while traveling between points of interest. (If for some reason you don’t want to hear anything but directions you have that choice. I’d recommend enjoying all that is included in your tour.) I have done all of the Shaka Guide’s Oahu tours every time I go visit my family that moved to Oahu, and love it each time! I’ve also done other locations that Shaka Guide has done, and all have been Grrreat! They are expanding to many other locations, & I’m very excited about that bc I’ve never experienced a travel tour like Shaka! 😎🤙

The best! We found Shaka on our trip to Maui a few years ago and we couldn’t imagine another trip without him! Driving in unfamiliar areas can be so stressful and distracting. The directions and suggestions keep us on track and stress-free. 🤙
