Worth the money!!
Our second time on the Road to Hana and first navigating ourselves. Cant imagine having gone it without this guide. Great narration and history. Loved the music in between all the sites. Would highly recommend.
Tegan0831 | 20 hours ago | iOSawesome as always!
my partner & i started using shaka guide when we toured olympic national park last summer, and so we did it again for mt rainier national park this year! we were pleased to hear that the tour guide narrator was the same person as olympic because his voice is so soothing, his inflections are adorable, and his excitement got us excited! doing the guided tour helped the long drives pass by quickly, and we got to check out a lot of little sites we would have otherwise skipped. we always look forward to the tour guides every time we travel to a national park (: thanks guys!! (also shout out whoever put in the ice caves song by concerned ape in the rainier tour)

This was our first ever Shaka tour and it exceeded expectations! The stories were very well done and the music was great. It took us places and taught us things we never would have gotten on our own. We are now hooked on Shaka tours!
