LEGENDARY NORTH SHORE LOOP FAQs

Mona..Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here’s how it works: 

- GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk. Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
- The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go.
- The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go. 
Pretty cool huh?

We think so! Check out our tours and let’s explore together.

This was a great tour. We started on Waikiki and it was as if a guide was with us. We’ve been to Hawaii more than 3 times and we learned things we never heard before. We appreciated being able to stop and pause and resume later. The GPS on the app was fantastic and the best part was when the tour ended the guide directed us back to our start point. We highly recommend this app. If we could, we would have left a tip. lol

We’ve used Shaka Guide on Maui, Kauai, and Oahu and it’s absolutely wonderful. Very entertaining and take the guesswork out of taking a road trip!

I don't usually care that much about the history of the places I travel to as I enjoy natural scenery but this guide exceeded my expectations, I just did the Kauai North shore tour and it was great and worked well. I just hope they can get it working in Android Auto soon.
