Customer Reviews
The Road to Hana tour was amazing! The GPS was synced perfectly and the timely narrative was incredible! The stories and history made the drive even better. The recommended stops were great and the music really helped set the mood. 10/10 highly recommended!
Devin Heckenkemper | 11 hours ago | AndroidAmazing Day thanks to Shaka Guide!
A day we’ll never forget thanks to Shaka Guide’s Road to Hana loop guide! We almost turned around in Hana, but we were enjoying the tour so much we pressed on! So glad we did, there’s so much beauty beyond Hana. The scenery, narration, the history & the music all made for the perfect day!
TroyerTravels | 3 days ago | iOSAmazing, really.
Really felt like you had a tour guide right with you, the Road to Hana is not the most relaxing trip, but with this app and what the Shaka team produced, it really did help make the 10 plus hour day fly by.

Our second time on the Road to Hana and first navigating ourselves. Cant imagine having gone it without this guide. Great narration and history. Loved the music in between all the sites. Would highly recommend.

MaxBearChuck | 6 days ago | iOSExceptional Tour Service
We used the Shaka app as our guide on the road to Hana tour in Maui. Best decision we made. Shaka made the journey soo easy with the tips and tricks. We had no service through the majority of the drive and it still worked great. We will definitely be looking for Shaka guides everywhere we go after this.
GrahammCracker | 1 week ago | iOSGreat App!!!
We used the app to do the Road to Hana and the Haleakala sunset drive and it was amazing. The narration is a great mic of humor, information and recommendations depending on your time and situation. Highly recommend it if you like an ‘on your own’ experiences!
awesomemine49 | 1 week ago | iOSAmazing!
Absolutely loved this app while driving the Road to Hana. It was suggested to me by locals in Maui. Not only did it help keep us on track but we learned so much about the land, culture, and beauty of Maui along the way. It was like a personal tour guide in our car. The music was awesome, too. The tracking was always spot on so we never missed our destinations. I also liked that there was information provided on timing for reservations and which locations were a must vs. skip if you don’t have time in the schedule. A must download for your trip. Mahalo!
Redeye24 | 1 week ago | iOSPerfect for our cruise
I found out about the app from TikTok and this was absolutely awesome. So happy we downloaded and used the reverse Road To Hana guide. Really fun!
floof and flop | 1 week ago | iOSThe Classic Road to Hana Tour on the Shaka Guide app was fantastic! The descriptions, stories, Hawaiian history, and local legends made the drive so much more enjoyable. The real-time GPS directions were incredibly accurate and worked perfectly even with little to no cell reception. It felt like having a local guide with us the entire way. Highly recommend for anyone driving the Road to Hana!
