Indispensable

This was the second island we used Shaka for, like the Big Island it is like having a personal tour guide traveling with us.

LOVED IT!!!!

First off, I do not review anything! Not even Amazon! We used this app for our first time on Maui for two different tour. There was no need to spend hundreds of dollars on a tour guide. My husband and I were very satisfied by the details of the Shaka Guide tours. I will definitely be using this app again. My husband love the ice cream recommendation on the road to Hana. Thank you for this!
