We discovered Shaka in Kauai and enjoyed everything about it, we have done Maui and the big Island and just started in Utah and Wyoming. I recommend this to everyone I talk to about road trips. The tours are informative, fun and keep the pace up for the day. Having different options and owning the tours is great. If we miss something, we can always do the tour again!

We used Shaka guide in 2023 for Maui and the Big Island and absolutely loved it! The snippets of history and folklore were just the added extras we needed. We're going back to Hawaii next year but checking out Arizona first and we were so excited to see Shaka provide guides for Arizona too! I've just bought two tour bundles for our trip! Mahalo!

My family and I used all 5 audio tours of the Big Island bundle. We just loved the information and they were all very entertaining. We highly recommend this. Next time we take a driving family vacation, we plan to see if Shaka Guide has an audio tour available.
