Customer Reviews
Very much enjoyed the Wailua Valley Tour! Especially, helping us understand the local history & culture. The eucalyptus trees were a favorite!
Anthony Root | 1 month ago | AndroidA really good guide thru Waimea Canyon
We totally enjoyed the guidance to the canyon highlights and the dialogue provided along the way.
Shaq222222 | 1 month ago | iOSWaimea Canyon - Amazing!!!
This was a really well thought-out tour that followed our driving location with no need to skip from track to track. We learned so much not only about the landscape but about cultural experience and legends in the area. It was great to avoid going on google rabbit holes or wondering where the best viewpoints and hikes were, especially since much of the park is outside of cell service range. Thank you!!🤙🏼
Jen🍏 | 3 months ago | iOS100% worth it!!
My husband and I made a last minute decision to use the Shaka guide for our Waimea Canyon day and we loved it so much! Honestly couldn’t imagine the day without it. We loved hearing the history of the island, that it was knowledgeable about stops to make, and most of all we loved the music (and wished there was more!) Was such a nice addition to our drive
Breanne43 | 5 months ago | iOSFamily Loved the Waimea & Na Pali Tour!
Our family dedicated a day to decorate Waimea and the Na Pali Coast and followed the Shaka Guide throughout the journey. The GPS system was incredibly helpful and the audio guide gave us an immense amount of knowledge of the surrounding area’s history. The stops along the way were definitely worthwhile (including The Lodge for lunch and JoJo’s shaved ice for dessert). Would highly recommend to any travelers hoping to drive to this part of the island!
kaykayalexa | 6 months ago | iOSJust finished the Waimea and Na Pali narrated tour, and thoroughly enjoyed it!! Uncle Shaka's directions and stories made the drive along beautiful nature that much better! Kauai is stunning!! Looking forward to our next adventure - Poipu and Koloa!

The Shaka Guide was so informative, but in such a fun way! Enjoyed the stories and the music that went along with the Waimea Canyon Drive
HollysAdvice | 9 months ago | iOSWaimea Canyon
We loved the Shaka audio tour for our car drive to Waimea Canyon State Park. We enjoyed the narration with stories of the history of various sites and suggestions of lookouts and hiking trails.
The Mainland travelers | 9 months ago | iOSFabulous!!
We did the Waimea Canyon guided tour and it was fabulous!! The story telling is top notch and the guided directions are time perfectly. This really engaged my kids and they were super into it. They are 9 and 14. Even my 75 year old mother loved it! Great way to learn along the way. Mahalo!!
Scorpioscuba | 10 months ago | iOSWe stayed 3 days in Kauai and used 3 tours: North Shore Kauai, Waimea and Na Pali, Poipu and Koloa. They were all excellent! The directions were precise and the map was helpful. We enjoyed the stories, the music, and the history of Kauai.
