Great trip today

My wife and I did the loop around the North Shore today and decided to use the Shaka Guide to fill in things we may have missed in the past. The narration was spot on, directions were clear, and the narrator was delightful. In between narration we were treated to wonderful Hawaiian music. Great way to spend the afternoon. Thank you.

Best Tour Guide

This was a great tour. We started on Waikiki and it was as if a guide was with us. We’ve been to Hawaii more than 3 times and we learned things we never heard before. We appreciated being able to stop and pause and resume later. The GPS on the app was fantastic and the best part was when the tour ended the guide directed us back to our start point. We highly recommend this app. If we could, we would have left a tip. lol

Excellent tours!

We’ve used Shaka Guide on Maui, Kauai, and Oahu and it’s absolutely wonderful. Very entertaining and take the guesswork out of taking a road trip!

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:
