This guide is fabulous. my husband and I learned so much. You basically get a personal tour as you drive along. the recommendations were appreciated as well as the tips about the various trails. We learned about the history of the park as well as interesting facts about volcanoes, trees and wildlife. Will likely not do a park without this.

Our family debated on taking a Circle Island Tour in Oahu with a tour company, but the price was so expensive. So we decided to give the Shaka Guide a try. It was perfect! The 5 of us rented a van for the day and set out with the help of the app. It was very informative with upcoming stops, bathroom options, photo opportunities, and places to eat. The music was a nice touch and the toggle on and off was nice when we were getting out of the van. We would definitely use this app again.
