Great way to enjoy Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks
Like having your own personal tour guide in the car. Even with no cell service, the downloaded app knows where you are and plays the appropriate info. Filled with historical, geological, botanical and wildlife tidbits plus fun interlude music.

Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks Guide. Exceptional. Incredible app tracking exactly where you are and perfect directions for every option to do/see. Informative and interesting commentary. Easy to use. Great integration with Apple Car Play. Perfect for someone who doesn’t know the park. No need for a group guided tour. Great value at an inexpensive price. Good length of visit.

We used Shaka on three of the Hawaiian islands and recently purchased the National Parks collection. We wished we would have had them sooner for all the parks we already visited in years past. On the most recent trip we did the Crater Lake and Lassen Volcanic National Park tours. They were both amazing. So cool to have some history, music, and tips for good stops and hikes. Highly recommend their tours. We want to revisit some again just to listen to the tours.

We love using Shaka guide with the kids. They love the stories and history and it’s split up with great music in between. The hiking/activity recommendations are spot on and take you to places you’d otherwise drive right by. We use them both on the islands and at national parks all over the mainland.

I have used shaka guide for 3 national parks and the road to hana in maui. Most of my favorite stops and attractions from the tours are places i would have never found without Shaka Guide. I recommend this to everybody i meet during the tours, and now i’m recommending it to you…. it’s so worth it.
Autumn730 | 3 months ago | iOSAn invaluable resource!
My wife and I first used this app in 2017 during our honeymoon in Kauai and it was super helpful and entertaining. Now in 2026 we’re touring all 5 national parks in Utah and it’s as good as I remember. This will be a staple of all future trips.

This is app is amazing. Easy to work and follow. Love the stories and the information it gives you while you are driving. Can’t wait to use this app again on our next adventure!
Mimpyatt | 5 months ago | iOSLove Shaka Guides!
I’m I. The middle of a solo road trip to several of the national parks out west. Shaka Guides have been the best companion! Turn for turn directions are spot on; I know what sites are coming up without having to shuffle around a map while driving; and the stories and facts are great! Also enjoying the music on between! I highly recommend Shaka Guides to everyone, but especially solo travelers!!

The app is constructed professionally. The guide offered practical advice to tour national parks with good recommendations of what to see and what to skip. The app has a CarPlay app so the map is easy to follow. The map lags a tiny bit so it is good to follow audio instructions for turns before the map shows the turn.
