Like a Guided Tour Without the Bus

This is the second time we’ve used the Shaka Guide apps while in the Hawaiian Islands. The first time was two years ago, when we were in Maui. If you like the benefits of having a tour guide along, but are also a do-it-yourself type and/or enjoy the flexibility of driving yourself around, this app is for you. The app’s GPS function, coupled with the turn-by-turn directions from the charismatic Uncle Shaka enhance the self-guided experience with entertaining stories and information about the places it directs you to. There are several thoughtfully planned itineraries to choose from to suit your style and you can spend as much or as little time at each suggested stop as you like. Today, we took the Waimea and Na Pāli tour on an exceptionally beautiful, sunny day. There were several great hiking spots it took us to and some suggestions for places to stop for food and snacks. The views were breathtaking and the stories about the history of the area were really interesting. On the way back, the Hawaiian music and more local stories made the trip back to Lihue really entertaining. We are flying to the Big Island later in our vacation and I’ve already got the app and tours set up for that part of our vacation too. Can’t give a higher recommendation.

The best!

I traveled solo in Kauai for a few days and the driving tours were the best! I never had to worry about parking in Waimea Canyon or feeling lost. Highly recommend for anyone traveling in Hawaii!
