About The Tour

Scenic mountain drives, fascinating history, and ancient thermal springs await you in this one-of-a-kind national park. Unlike the remote seclusion of some National Parks, this one lies in the historic heart of the city of Hot Springs. The city has been many things to many people: A resort for the wealthy and elite, a miracle of hope and healing for the infirm, spring training fields for some of Major League Baseball’s greatest legends, and even a playground for the country’s most notorious criminals.

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!

• Walk along Bathhouse Row and explore historic bathhouses with unique architecture and stories.
• Relax and sip craft beer brewed with hot springs water at Superior Bathhouse.
• Explore Fordyce Visitor Center for exhibits on Hot Springs' fascinating history.
• Visit the Shell Fountain to see thermal water flowing naturally from springs.
• Visit Babe Ruth Homeplate, a tribute to the baseball legend’s history.

We researched what we wanted to visit on Kauai but never would’ve been able to do them all without the ShakaGuide driving tour. Clear directions, options for personalization, and so much history. I can’t wait to use it again as we visit National parks on the mainland!

Best guide by your side

Shaka Guide is an excellent travel app that we’ve used in Hawaii and in several national parks across the United States. It works especially well for families because it feels like having a personal guide with you throughout the trip. The app provides clear directions, interesting stories, and helpful tips at exactly the right moments, which makes exploring new places much easier and more enjoyable. Whether you’re driving through scenic routes or visiting major landmarks, Shaka Guide adds structure, fun, and educational value to the experience. It has become one of our go-to tools for family travel.

Another great tour!

We’ve done several Shaka Tours now on Maui and other islands. Always informative, interesting, and a bit humorous. I always recommended this app to any of my friends traveling to Hawaii. And now with the other National Parks being added to the program, it’s getting even better! Thanks Shaka Guide.
