This was recommended to me by a patient before I went to Yellowstone and it was absolutely amazing! It was like my own personal tour guide that went where I wanted to go and let me explore where and for as long as I wanted, then I hoped back into the car and off I went again. I am now using it for Badlands Nation Park and Black Hills Forest and Mount Rushmore and it is once again amazing. It uses GPS to know where you’re located and then tells you about the area you’re in, with optional extended information. It’s respectful of the Native American history with out being preachy or taking sides. The geology of the sites is also discussed with why the land or animals etc have formed or developed the way they have. Minutes after my daughter wondered why amid all the craggy rocks of the badlands there would be this large smooth grassy area the guide discusses it. So far the prices were extremely reasonable and the narrators haven’t had an annoying voice. We will absolutely use this on any vacation we take that they have an option for especially our year National Park trips.
Was very skeptical to purchase at first but so glad we did. Been through 9 national parks and the amount of information we received is amazing. We would have missed out on so many details along the way. It’s truly worth every penny.
The best informative way to travel and learn about our great country and its history. Visit the national parks with an expert! We will be buying more of these programs! Loved the way it followed our journey and how accurate and interesting the content was on the app.
We used shaka guides for our Road to Hana trip in Hawaii years ago and we couldn't be happier with the Big Bend bend tour we just finished. It's a great mix of way finding, cool facts and really nice music for the time spent in the car. It helped us spend our time wisely so that we didn't stop for every little thing we didn't have time for. The only problem is that now we need to re-visit all the OTHER national parks to use the Shaka Guides! 10/10
we have used this app for six national parks now. it has become as much of a staple of the drive. has the bag of chips in the backseat. can't imagine doing a drip without him at this point. awesome app well worth it and the fact that it's not a subscription. it's one and done. these guys are the greatest. don't hesitate buy it now
We just got back from doing the Norwegian Cruise Line Hawaii inter island cruise. We rented a car at each port and used the Shaka Guide every day. The tours were awesome and the stories and music really added to the experience. The directions were great, loved suggestions for food and places of interest. Bathroom info was a lifesaver on the Road to Hana. I know we got to see and experience things we wouldn’t have otherwise. If you are doing multiple islands I would recommend getting all the tours in a single bundle. There were times we were on a tour and switched to another one. It was handy having them all available on the fly. Can’t wait to try out some of the tours for the National Parks in the southwest now that we are back home.
