  • Plenty of water
  • Credit/debit card and/or digital pay (Wind Cave no longer accepts cash)

    • There is no fee to enter Wind Cave National Park itself, but the individual cave tours require the purchase of a ticket. That means you can explore all of the trails, forests, historic buildings, and prairie lands above ground, and the museum and gift shop inside the Visitor Center for free.
    • Cave tours are first-come, first-served, and fees vary. Prior reservations aren’t necessary, but are recommended. They can be made here

    The tour stops have seasonal hours of operation. The site’s facilities and restaurants also have varying hours of operation.

    Yes, you can join along the route.

    Shaka Guide isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s like having a local tour guide in your pocket.

    As you walk, the app shares stories, history, local insights, and directions based on where you are. We’ve planned the route for you, but you can still explore at your own pace, pause the tour, skip stops, or spend more time wherever you like.

    It’s not just about getting there—it’s about discovering the stories behind the places you’re visiting.

    Still have questions? Send us an email at aloha@shakaguide.com or give us a call at (808) 201-8138.

    Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here’s how it works:


    • GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk. Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
    • The app works offline so even with spotty service we’ll get you where you need to go.

    Pretty cool huh? We think so! Check out our tours and let’s explore together.

    Excellent app! Made our trip so much easier. Informative, helped our decisions on what to see and do. In the end felt we saw and did everything we wanted to do and see.

    I was a solo woman traveler and felt completely safe using this app. My service went out but the app kept going and kept me company. Definitely get for your drive even if you’re not solo

    We just finished our roadtrip to Hana in Maui and we absolutely LOVED having the Shaka Guide playing the whole time! We learned so much and were so grateful for all the tips and advice too! It was very helpful when we were out of cell service the entire time as well. We totally recommend this app! Can’t wait to try it on other trips!

    What a wonderful tour we have had for two days. It’s like having a personal guide take you through the park. We have one more part of the park tomorrow. We have learned so much about the park and it’s beginnings. We really enjoyed knowing ahead of time when there was something ahead of interest. This app is absolutely a necessity for anyone going through Yellowstone. We also bought the Grand Teton tour and will be going there in another couple of days. We would rate this program as a 10 out of 10. Update:You were right. The Grand Teton tour was beyond spectacular. Going through it with Shaka was just fantastic. 10 out of 10. We will be recommending your guide through anyone going through the national parks.

    Highly recommend this as an option. We got to be in our own rental car. We took it at our own pace. Does not need cell service or WiFi. It goes off your GPS. So much historical info and get recommendations.

    We loved using Shaka on our recent trip to South Dakota. We would have missed so many things! It is a great balance of stories, highlights and music along the way. I will be recommending it to everyone!

    This app was all good things! The gps and download functions tracked our every movement which was amazing! It was fun and informative and even kept us on schedule! I would recommend this app and specifically the Road to Hana tour to anyone I know!

    We enjoyed our audio tour through Acadia. It was great to have assistance. Our only complaint was that it suggested the light house. After a long drive, the line to get into the parking lot was so far back. Everyone was turning around. It was impossible to get in.
