Hawaii
Used Shaka for Big island vacation. Many good things to say. Glad i purchased. 3 big downsides: 1. Way too much nonsense about ancient pagan gods. 2. Missing basic facts about volcanoes. Focus more on the major points. Active/inactive. What can tourists see. Like that’s all i sort of kind of cared about. Instead i got history lessons and points on all volcanoes and back and forth with myths and facts. Confusing. 3. We chose to do our loops differently than their tours were set up Would be nice if the app could be smart enough to open and begin a new tour if i crossed the boundaries into that second tour. Overall, good purchase. Informative and entertaining.

We purchased a package deal which was a great value. And since the Big Island does require A LOT of driving the Shaka tours were fantastic! We went places we wouldn’t have known about and learned so much about the history.

We love this app. We have visited the Big Island 2x now and we have done 5 tours of the island between these two trips. It’s so great to be able to learn about the island on our time and in our way. We love the stories and the music when there isn’t a story. Thank you for putting this app together.
Daisies4me | 2 weeks ago | iOSBest driving guide ever!
First time I used Shaka guide was on big island when my family came to visit. Now I’ve used it for Yellowstone and Grand Tetons as well. In Hawaii it showed us things I didn’t even know as a local. On the mainland it made my trip. Thanks Shaka guide , keep up the amazing work.

Totally recommend. A friend recommended Shaka guide for seeing big island. We used it today and it was great! Like a personal tour that you could customize. Totally worth the $35 for the entire big island package.

We used the Shaka guide in Maui for the Road to Hana 8 years ago and loved it. So we decided to try it again for the Big Island. We did the North island jungle loop tour today. It was so informative, easy to follow, and we all loved it. Even my impossible to please 16 year old daughter mentioned how cool it is- she was so into it, and was listening to every word and wanted to stop at all the stops. It was a great guide, we had a great day! Can’t recommend this enough. I bought the BI package, and we will be using the other tours this trip as well.
