Love Shaka Guide! I've used it several times on the road to Hana, and it really is like having your own tour guide! And once you own it, its yours, you don't have to repay to use it again on future trips!
Alfredo Lopez | 14 hours ago | AndroidGreat tour as always !
We did the Haleakalā sunset tour during the day and it was still awesome ! You can do that tour anytime. Doesn’t have to be sunset.
Fruitsaver | 3 days ago | iOSI was guided very well through Maui and I am excited to continue to use the guide for my other stops on the islands. Only thing I could even mildly say is to possibly add the speed limit somewhere so that tourists know how fast to go on the mountains and highways. this app is awesome!
