We can’t imagine having traveled the Road to Hāna in Maui without Shaka Guide! The recommendations and guidance were incredibly thoughtful and thorough - the app offered everything from notes on restroom locations, timing of tour stops, parking info, local history, guidance on road conditions, great music, and so much more. Download this app - it is so worth it!
