Must have for your island vacation
We just got back from doing the Norwegian Cruise Line Hawaii inter island cruise. We rented a car at each port and used the Shaka Guide every day. The tours were awesome and the stories and music really added to the experience. The directions were great, loved suggestions for food and places of interest. Bathroom info was a lifesaver on the Road to Hana. I know we got to see and experience things we wouldn’t have otherwise. If you are doing multiple islands I would recommend getting all the tours in a single bundle. There were times we were on a tour and switched to another one. It was handy having them all available on the fly. Can’t wait to try out some of the tours for the National Parks in the southwest now that we are back home.

We learned about Shaka Guide in HI and are so happy to see them expanding to other national parks and adventure areas in the continental US as well. Excellent experience. We will always use them for guided tours where available. Thank you!!
