Absolutely worth it. Did the Shaka Maui tour and now we have done a Shaka tour for every California national park (BUT WE WANT ONE FOR PINNACLES PARK! Shaka, make one!!)

I am so glad I found this on Booking.com! Worth the $16.99. The guide had a great sense of humor, music was peaceful, GPS was dead on, the history was the best! We learned so much in one day about Yosemite in 1 day and this was my 3rd visit! A must have for Yosemite!!! Made our trip so memorable! Thank you Matt, Andrew, Uncle Shaka and the whole crew!!! 😊

These tours are beyond awesome!! We got our first one in Hawaii a few years ago and just did the one for Joshua Tree State Park in CA. It's fantastic how they take all the effort out of having a good time. You just relax, drive around, and when you approach a site of interest, the audio automatically starts to let you know where to go and what to do. In between stops/sites, you get theme-appropriate music along with trivia and stories. It's just delightful! Can't recommend this enough. Try it!!!

Lake Tahoe was fun. Some of the sights were closed for infrastructure updates, but overall very enjoyable. Love the quick stops. The Fire Lookout was worth the hike.

shaka guide is great and performed well inside Yosemite even when my own phone lost service it still knew when and where to start guided tour moments.

I originally heard about this app on Reddit while I was researching for our Maui trip. It was recommended for the road to Hana specifically. I downloaded it, and it was A GAME CHANGER. Not only did it do an excellent job of knowing where we were and reminding my us when to turn despite not having any cell service, but the history lessons and music interspersed along the drive were fabulous! We learned a lot and it gave us a lot of great talking points for the road trip and memories. At one point, the guide recommended a small unmarked lava tube and without the gps location telling us when and where to park I would’ve missed it. As we were walking over to explore it, some people at the parking lot walked over to ask us what we were doing crawling into a seemingly small hole in the side of the road! Since then, I’ve also bought a tour for Yosemite National Park. Once again, great at knowing our location despite no service and excellent history lessons and music. It’s super helpful and finding things to do if you aren’t super planners. It’s enough to buy the guide and head in, deciding what to do along the way! We will continue to use Shaka Guides for our NP and Hawaii adventures!
