Customer Reviews
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.

We’ve used Shaka at Yellowstone, Arches, and Glacier and it’s the best part of our vacation. The history, the stops, the directions are all amazing. The voices on Shaka are not boring or monotonous but engaging and easy listening. Don’t hesitate! Shaka 🤙 Doesn’t disappoint!
