AMAZING
ShakaMETOYER | 1 week ago | iOSGreat self guided tour
We really enjoyed the Oahu Circle Island tour. Very informative, entertaining and accurate. The only recommendation that we have is allowing a little more notice when you have to get on/off of highways. A couple times the instructions say to exit in a quarter mile. That’s not much time if you’re not in the correct lane with heavy traffic. Otherwise this is a fantastic trip and would highly recommend.
LWfam | 1 week ago | iOSOahu grand tour
We loved this tour. We were able to see so many great parts of the island. The best part was we were able to contour own pace. The directions were perfect and the tour guides history of the island was a great perk!

How do you make a trip to Hawaii even better? With this great app! Gray was our companion, friend, comedian, and trusted counselor. Highly recommend.
aeitingon | 3 weeks ago | iOSLove this guide!
We purchased a Hawaii pack after hearing good things about Shaka Guides. We were not disappointed - if anything they over delivered. Great info on both a North Shore Oahu and the Maui Road to Hana tours. Will be using it a few more times on this vacation and will definitely check it out when we go to national parks. Great job Shaka team!
JJM Spartan | 1 month ago | iOSBest guide ever
Hubby and I decided last minute to do North Shore loop and their audio guide was so helpful, both for driving (our rental didn’t have GPS), history, and finding spots we wouldn’t have known about on our own.
Thexplorer_dora | 1 month ago | iOSAwesome, this was a welcome addition on the drive to the North Shore Oahu. helped to keep the kids occupied too!

I used this app twice. First when I went to Oahu with my wife in 2022, we did the Grand Circle Island Tour, it was Amazing, very memorable. Today in 2026, we came back to Oahu with my 4 kids, and we did Legendary North Shore Loop, everyone got a good time. My kids said they had fun and will remember this trip forever. Thank you for making this app.
Ryuda31 | 1 month ago | iOSThis was an amazing way to explore the North Shore of Kauai. The recordings are very intuitive/well synced with the GPS; you can start anywhere on the route, and it will create an awesome experience for you. The music was amazing.
Paul Herrick | 2 months ago | AndroidUsed the Shaka Guide for my trip to Oahu, HI. I did a few tours - North Shore, Honolulu downtown, Windward, and small part of the Island circle. It was exceptional experience and the app helped us explore the whole island with little to no previous reading and planning. Highly recommend the Shaka Guide and would certainly buy and use it for future trips.
