BUY THIS IF YOU’RE GOING TO MAUI

If you’re visiting Maui, do yourself a favor and get the Shaka Guide. It is extremely easy to follow and takes all the stress out of navigating. It guided us to breathtaking sights, hidden parks, and great hikes that we would have missed otherwise. I loved that it also pointed out reliable restrooms and food stops. Beyond the directions, the stories about Hawai’i and the beautiful soundtrack made the drive feel like a true experience. It truly felt like a Disney tour since the narrator was so good!!!

Perfect Companion for Us

This trip can be overwhelming because there are so many stops, so much history, so many twists & turns, and so much to know to keep from upsetting local culture, to enjoy the scenery, food & history of the land & to get the most out of our day trip on the Road to Hana…and the Shaka Guide was the perfect companion to provide all the necessary information. We chose to do the classic route and needed to make it to the Black Sand Beach to make our reservation so we listened as we made our way through the route so we could make choices of where we wanted to stop on the way back. The music was well chosen, the narration was informative and friendly, and we’re amazed by how the narration aligned with our location at every point of the trip even when we all lost cell reception. This is a must-have for your Road to Hana trip. I wish we had the one for HaleakalĀ when we went to watch the sunset the evening prior to driving the Road to Hana.

Amazing time

At first little nervous but Shaka takes control right away. We had amazing time following the entire Rd to Hana and back. It was as Shaka was with us. We laughed a lot, took the trip at our pace. Really appreciate the history lessons and music. Enjoyed every turn on the rd. Appreciate the nature. Highly recommend and will do it again!!
