Customer Reviews
Made our tours better 💕
We originally bought it for the Road to Hana tour and tried it out in Hawaii. Pretty quickly, we got hooked on the narration and the way it brings the surrounding landscape to life with interesting geographical insights while you drive. It was an easy decision to upgrade to the full version—and now, whenever we visit a national park, we make sure to have a tour ready to go so we can learn as we explore.
Mounica8 | 5 days ago | iOSWe used this app for tours both on Maui and Ohau. The app was absolutely worth the price of the tours. Im looking forward to trying it for tours on the mainland. The guides were well thought out and the info along the drive was fantastic. Strongly recommend the reverse road to Hana.

We have loaded the driving tours for all the islands. Taken on Oahu, Maui and Kauai so far. The best tour ever found. I love the history and all the sights.
TThackattack | 6 days ago | iOSMaui and Kauai
Took 5 tours: all were interesting and informative. Best of all, the directions were spot on! Only negatives: quite a few of the recommended places to stop were closed (Sunday, Monday, before 10.30am, after 4pm). Some also needed advanced booking which was not apparent until arriving at the sight!
USBrits | 6 days ago | iOSI was definitely pleased with the Shaka Guide. Someone suggested Shaka guide since we already had a rental car. Best tour ever. Not only did they provide directions, they provided; nice music, local food choices on route, priceless info on local areas, historical marks, history from the island and road, opportunities to explore the Road to Hana on our time, suggestions on time and much more. This is one of the best apps ever!!!
Johnny Simpson | 1 week ago | AndroidThe best!
Why go on a tour of the Hawaiian islands stuck in a bus with a ton of strangers when you can ride with your family in your rental car with an excellent narrator, guided by your exact GPS location. I use this when visiting Maui and again this week in Oahu and both were so well done and worth every penny.
