Ruffy Cuizon | 21 hours ago | AndroidHaving the Shaka guide improved our experience with the great directions and information about the history and culture of the area.
Susan Black | 21 hours ago | AndroidThis app is wonderful, we first used it on our trip to Kauai. It was fun to listen to all the history and see things we might not know about. We recently used it while in Las Vegas to explore Red Rock Canyon. The narrator is great and makes it enjoyable to listen to, and it is very user friendly.

Shaka guide for Maui was perfect for our trip on the Road to Hana! The app interfaces well with navigation so we didn’t have to touch our phones while driving. The stops were described early enough that we were able to make decisions on if we wanted to stop or keep driving. The history lessons on the way back were helpful to keep us awake on the drive back!
RayRay the Jet Plane | 2 days ago | iOSAmazing!
Totally recommend. A friend recommended Shaka guide for seeing big island. We used it today and it was great! Like a personal tour that you could customize. Totally worth the $35 for the entire big island package.
aj94sg | 2 days ago | iOSLove, Love Shaka Guide
Today we did the Beacon Hill walking tour in Boston and plan on doing the two Freedom Trail walking tours in the next few days. Love the history the app shares and love the amount of content that is shared. Pro tip: my wife and I listen to the tour prior to going on vacation and walk the tour using google earth street view. Helps us easily identify items while on the tour and gives us ideas ahead of time to explore or try more in an area.

This was a must have for this trip. Worked great even with no cell signal.
Hammy1027 | 2 days ago | iOSAbsolutely amazing app for travelers! The Shaka Guide made our trip so much more enjoyable and stress-free. The audio tours are super engaging, informative, and feel like you have a personal guide with you the whole time. I loved how it works offline—no need to worry about network issues while exploring. The directions are clear, and it suggests great hidden spots you might otherwise miss. Perfect blend of storytelling, navigation, and local insights. Highly recommend for anyone who loves explor
J Patel | 4 days ago | AndroidThese tours provided the guidance we needed to fully tour Oahu, Kauai and Maui. Bought the full Hawaii package. Worth every penny, and more.
Tom Deegan | 4 days ago | AndroidThe app was a little confusing when we first started out, but took us on a fun adventure and told some great stories during the tour. I would definitely do another one.
