Customer Reviews
Traveling with a local friend
We LOVED the Shaka guide app! We used it for Road to Hana, Sunrise at Haleakala, and some of the North Shore beaches and had smooth sailing! We couldn’t understand why people had such a hard time on road to Hana because it felt so simple for us. Obviously it was the invaluable advice of this Shaka guide app! The guide quickly felt like a joyful, kind, local friend who traveled along and showed us all the must sees while telling us the history and fun stories of where we were. Times when my family was driving while we weren’t on a tour my kids would beg to put in on so they could hear the Shaka guide. It’s a must have if you value immersing yourself in local culture, peace, joy, adventure, and knowledge while traveling.

Joysyear | 1 month ago | iOSI've used the Shaka Guide for both the road to Hana and the Oahu tours. Tours with my kids and alone with my wife. The Shaka Guide is the best example of technology making our lives better. the driving directions are very helpful and keeps you from having to keep looking at your GPS and let's you look out the windows, which is the point of being on vacation, right? The narration is the right blend of history and humor. Even the music is great, setting the vibe for the trip. We love it!
