I have a lot of these and love that I will be using them again in 2027 and will be adding several more for the trip! I highly recommend!!

We loved almost everything about our Shaka tour of Arches, Canyonlands, and La Sal Mountain Loop. I wish I had the option on 4 1/2 stars. The guide synced well with our GPS and we got through all three parks with ease. The narrative was interesting and we learned so much about the area. The music was an added bonus. We were also pleasantly surprised by the added bonus of guidance through Dead Horse Point State Park. Our glitch was at the end of the La Sal Mountain Loop we opted for the additional stop at Courthouse Wash to see petroglyphs. Twice the guide said the stop was 1/2 mile ahead but we weren't told where to stop. Other than that the Shaka guide was great! We also used Shaka for Maui and found it to be so helpful.

This was the perfect guide for self guided tours. I was able to enjoy all the sites with my family instead of trying to google or read about all the sites. It was also extremely helpful that the app required me to download the tour, since we didn’t have service for over 50% of the time on the trip. We didn’t even have WiFi in our vehicle which never goes out.

I happened upon the Shaka Guide app minutes before leaving for Red Rock Canyon. It made our day trip so much better! The narration was so interesting. We learned so much! I’ll definitely be using this app for other locations!
