Must have for your trip
Was very skeptical to purchase at first but so glad we did. Been through 9 national parks and the amount of information we received is amazing. We would have missed out on so many details along the way. It’s truly worth every penny.

The best informative way to travel and learn about our great country and its history. Visit the national parks with an expert! We will be buying more of these programs! Loved the way it followed our journey and how accurate and interesting the content was on the app.
Bapa in retirement | 2 weeks ago | iOSWe used shaka guides for our Road to Hana trip in Hawaii years ago and we couldn't be happier with the Big Bend bend tour we just finished. It's a great mix of way finding, cool facts and really nice music for the time spent in the car. It helped us spend our time wisely so that we didn't stop for every little thing we didn't have time for. The only problem is that now we need to re-visit all the OTHER national parks to use the Shaka Guides! 10/10
