Conditions can change fast. Please check these links for closures, alerts and local conditions before your trip. Stay informed so you can ensure a smooth ride for your trip.

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.

So glad we were told of Shaka Guide Tours when we visited Oahu! So easy to use, directions were spot on, locations were all the popular ones & local treasures that you’d never find on your own. And you hear stories, legend, history, & location themed music while traveling between points of interest. (If for some reason you don’t want to hear anything but directions you have that choice. I’d recommend enjoying all that is included in your tour.) I have done all of the Shaka Guide’s Oahu tours every time I go visit my family that moved to Oahu, and love it each time! I’ve also done other locations that Shaka Guide has done, and all have been Grrreat! They are expanding to many other locations, & I’m very excited about that bc I’ve never experienced a travel tour like Shaka! 😎🤙

The best! We found Shaka on our trip to Maui a few years ago and we couldn’t imagine another trip without him! Driving in unfamiliar areas can be so stressful and distracting. The directions and suggestions keep us on track and stress-free. 🤙

Such a fun way to explore somewhere new! We used it on Oahu and got to just relax and follow along on our drive. Gave us all the tips on places to eat and explore and even kept our little one engaged. Highly recommend!
