Customer Reviews
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.

If I could give this review 10 stars I would. This guided driving tour app was just awesome. We did the package of 5 tours on the Big Island and did them all. There will be a little repeat of some stories if you do all five, but as a history lover it that was ok with me to hear them again. You are guided to all the best spots all over the island with a guide that tells local history and custom stories and shares local spots to shop or eat. The best part is when you are driving and they aren’t talking they play awesome Hawaiian music. It keeps the atmosphere all day throughout the tour. Plus if you don’t finish a tour that’s ok just come back the next day and pick up where you left off. They make it super easy. If you are on the Big Island spend the $40 bucks for all 5 tours I promise you won’t regret it. Thank Shaka Guide we will be using you on our next island adventure and will tell all about you. You made our tours on our honeymoon absolutely awesome.
