The Perfect App!

I happened upon the Shaka Guide app minutes before leaving for Red Rock Canyon. It made our day trip so much better! The narration was so interesting. We learned so much! I’ll definitely be using this app for other locations!

Awesome

This is our second time to use a Shaka tour. It is incredible. I have been to Red Rock many times. I learned so much that I didn’t know. I can’t wait to do it again!

Great Tour experience

We had a free code as part of our Go City gift for a few Vegas experiences. The app worked well but really drained my phone battery. Cool tour of Red Rock Canyon.

Simple to use, yet very informative and entertaining. Just came back from Red Rock Canyon. Mind blown. Thank you!

Worth it for adult travelers & families!

We downloaded this app for a trip to Maui back in 2021 per the recommendation of some friends. It was so much fun to be able to listen to the history and engaging stories, and visit the stops, with our young children. In this age, when kids are so dependent on iPads, traveling in places where there is no cell phone service can make for cranky experiences. The fact that this is GPS triggered means it doesn’t need cell service. The stops on the tour were incredibly fun, and the stories made everyone laugh. We recently returned from Las Vegas where we downloaded the Hoover dam and Red Rock Canyon Tours. They were also fantastic! No kids in the car this time, but it was equally as enjoyable. I can’t wait to road trip out west with the family in the coming years. I’m so glad they have added north & southwestern destinations!!

Red Rock Canyon Nevada Audio Tour

We enjoyed the audio tour through Red Rock Canyon. There were several stops that we may not have made without hearing more about the locations. Entertaining guide talking us through all of the information. We are looking forward to more tours in the future!

2020 2022 2023 and on

Shaka Guide is has been great for us. First for the Big Island, we used the entire island bundle and used the tours in and around the north half of the island. A year later we used the entire island bundle for Oahu and used almost every driving tour including the around the island tour that goes clockwise and the separate one that goes counter clockwise. Next we used the Arizona bundle and took the Sedona, Grand Canyon South and Page tour. Most recently we took the Nevada bundle for Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and Red Rock Canyon. Outstanding! Shaka Guide makes touring so much better!

What is an Audio Tour Guide?

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.
