The best way to tour and drive!
Loved the guidance and info! Made the drive around Lake Tahoe so interesting and informative!

The narration was great. The music was a little lame. And while not your fault, there was some pretty serious delays caused by road construction and a number of places we couldn’t go to because there was no parking

I’ve lived near Lake Tahoe and have since visited every year and this is the first time buying the Shaka guide around the lake. Wow, what a treat! Learned a few new things and tips along the drive.

Great tour! Have used the app in Yellowstone and Hawaii and it is great! Informative and an easy way to explore new places. Definitely recommend for your next journey to a new destination!

It was very well done! Can’t thank enough. We have done Hawaii also through Shaka.
Belmont’ | 1 month ago | iOSNew change made it harder to use
UPDATE: Based on the developer’s response, I updated my review from 4 to 5 stars. My concern was not a software change, but a deliberate choice based on their desire to make the journey around Lake Tahoe scenic and safe. Thank you! Last year (2025) we loved the Shaka Guide we bought for the Redwoods in California. This year, I bought the guide for the Lake Tahoe area. The content was excellent and very helpful, but one new change confused us and made it almost impossible to use. The guide would only play in numerical order for the various points of interest. It would not reverse itself based on direction of travel. Last year, it would switch itself whether we were driving northbound or southbound. I had to manually choose the info to play when we were going “backwards” and we missed several points because of the confusion. Of course it’s possible I was using the app wrong. 🤦♀️ If that’s the case and there’s a setting I should’ve changed, it wasn’t obvious in the settings. Despite this, I will still recommend Shaka Guides to friends and family.
Peajay64 (Paula A) | 2 months ago | iOSLake Tahoe was fun. Some of the sights were closed for infrastructure updates, but overall very enjoyable. Love the quick stops. The Fire Lookout was worth the hike.
Scott Critchfield | 11 months ago | AndroidGot the lake Tahoe tour and the Wife and I loved it as we drove around the lake. We also drove off a little and explored other areas on the tour. Will buy another tour for our next upcoming trip.
Matt Fahrendorf | 2 years ago | AndroidTotally Worth It! Highly recommend!
I used Shaka for 3 Hawaii trips and most recently, a Lake Tahoe tour. They were ALL fantastic. A great way to know when and where to stop (at your own pace) and learn some history/folklore about the area you are exploring. The directions are easy to follow and the app is easy to use. You can stop and start at your own leisure and you can download the tour so Wi-Fi/cellular data needed. Purchase it! You won’t regret it!
