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.

I’m I. The middle of a solo road trip to several of the national parks out west. Shaka Guides have been the best companion! Turn for turn directions are spot on; I know what sites are coming up without having to shuffle around a map while driving; and the stories and facts are great! Also enjoying the music on between! I highly recommend Shaka Guides to everyone, but especially solo travelers!!

The app is constructed professionally. The guide offered practical advice to tour national parks with good recommendations of what to see and what to skip. The app has a CarPlay app so the map is easy to follow. The map lags a tiny bit so it is good to follow audio instructions for turns before the map shows the turn.

it's an amazing app. it helped me on my trip so much, it made the drive so much more interesting and gave very useful information. I used it for national parks

You will not be disappointed! This was a delightful way to experience the big island. The app works off GPS so it works and gives directions even when you’re in restricted service areas. Info is accurate and incredibly helpful… turn by turn. We LOVED the Kohala tour (STUNNING VIEWS) and listening to the history behind this beautiful island (and lovely music when Uncle isn’t talking). It made the experience really special. We’ll be using this app for the rest of our time here and can’t wait to explore some National Parks on the mainland with the Shaka Guide. Thanks for a great day!

We researched what we wanted to visit on Kauai but never would’ve been able to do them all without the ShakaGuide driving tour. Clear directions, options for personalization, and so much history. I can’t wait to use it again as we visit National parks on the mainland!

Shaka Guide is an excellent travel app that we’ve used in Hawaii and in several national parks across the United States. It works especially well for families because it feels like having a personal guide with you throughout the trip. The app provides clear directions, interesting stories, and helpful tips at exactly the right moments, which makes exploring new places much easier and more enjoyable. Whether you’re driving through scenic routes or visiting major landmarks, Shaka Guide adds structure, fun, and educational value to the experience. It has become one of our go-to tools for family travel.

We’ve done several Shaka Tours now on Maui and other islands. Always informative, interesting, and a bit humorous. I always recommended this app to any of my friends traveling to Hawaii. And now with the other National Parks being added to the program, it’s getting even better! Thanks Shaka Guide.

We used Shaka Guide for 6 midwest National Parks this past week and they were an excellent addition to the trip. The facts and stories are great, and the music really set the atmosphere for the western theme. Lots of facts, stories, and handy sightseeing advice and tips. Useful for navigation also! A little pricey individually, but in the bundle price I thought they were well worth it.
