Wonderful guided tour
We never would have seen all these wonderful sites without the Shaka App! I highly recommend using Shaka tours. We have used it on the big island and now Maui. Excellent!!!!
syermal | 1 week ago | iOSEnjoyed the stories, descriptions, and upcoming locations of interest shared throughout the tour. Having the commentary start based on our GPS location worked great. Made our time on Maui more interesting and having music play between stops much more entertaining. Am looking forward to experiencing the Ohau and Big Island Tours later on this vacation.
Penelope Blair | 2 weeks ago | AndroidWe really loved using this app because of all of the history and stories we learned. I especially liked the navigation and recommendations on where to stop and what to skip. It also made our trip to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park way more interesting for my preteen!
