Acadia National Park, Maine

We totally enjoyed this tour with Shaka Guide. The park is so big with so much to see Shaka Guide helps you to see the most for your time commitment. Great information and stories. Are we biased? Maybe a little. Andrew and Rita , the founders of Shaka Guide are our son and daughter in law

We did our first trip through Mt. Rainier National Park today with Shaka Guide and it was unbelievable. The directions, facts, music selection, and fun tidbits made the trip one of the best we have ever done. Even though we are handicapped and couldn't do the hikes, having Shaka Guide made us feel just as much a part of the park as everyone else. We tried another company when in Acadia and Shaka Guide was 10000% better. Already bought the PNW package and ready for next adventure
