Can I take the tour in the opposite direction?

No, this tour can only be done clockwise around the island.

Can I swim at the beaches on this tour?

Yes, but it depends when you’re traveling. In the summer, the waves are generally calmer and safe for swimming. However, in the winter (October through March) waves can be extremely rough and we recommend you avoid swimming during this time. Always use your best judgement and please note there is only one beach with lifeguards on this tour and that’s at DT Fleming Beach.

Jason Mitchell | October 2021
Really cool but.. It seems allot of things have closed since the app was first created. Too many "lots more stuff ahead" but then you keep getting "this waterfall is closed now, but lots more ahead".

Information withheld; terrible

Lwfloors | October 2021
The first time I used this guide it was great, this time not so much. The guide knew that reservations are required for the black sand beach and informed me right before the turn, but did not say anything about it before the hours long drive there to find out I could not get in. This was a big black eye on not only the Shaka Guide but also on the event of he road to hana. I would not recommend this again.

Would not suggest

Booboobant | October 2021
Paid $15 for this app to basically tell us don’t go there don’t stop there keep going there will more to see until we got to the end not impressed would definitely suggest putting your money on another app
