I've used the Shaka Guide for both the road to Hana and the Oahu tours. Tours with my kids and alone with my wife. The Shaka Guide is the best example of technology making our lives better. the driving directions are very helpful and keeps you from having to keep looking at your GPS and let's you look out the windows, which is the point of being on vacation, right? The narration is the right blend of history and humor. Even the music is great, setting the vibe for the trip. We love it!

Shaka is fantastic!

We used the “Legendary North Shore Loop” tour during our stay on Oahu and we were so pleased with it! Loved all the info/history along the way, the narrator/guide was spot on! Not one delay! We also enjoyed the Hawaiian music! We will highly recommend Shaka and use it again!! Mahalo!
