Must have on The road to Hana
This was a must have on your road to Hana. The GPS system worked amazing! Was not expecting that. But the commentary was excellent. We stopped at all the places I wanted to see. Avoided some we didn’t. All the time being entertained with great stories and great music for the drive! Looking forward to taking additional tours in the future. We just did the Utah National Park vacation a year ago and really wish I knew about Shaka!!
Steven M88 | 3 months ago | iOSPerfect for a first timer
We used this at Bryce Canyon. It worked just as described. Every stop was explained as you got there and hikes were described as well. This was an excellent guide for us. E will use this every time we go to a national park. AAA+++
JasonArms | 5 months ago | iOSAlready had this for Hawaii and new additions with Utah came out last year right before our trip to Arches so gladly purchased it. Makes driving thru in your own car like have a tour guide on a bus narrating, pointing out sites, telling you history and trivia. Excellent and inexpensive.
