Please pay attention to all parking signs. Parking illegally on the Road to Hana can not only result in a ticket, it is extremely disrespectful to people who need to use this road everyday. The traffic on the road greatly impacts their lives, so you can help do your part by parking legally and adhering to all signs. We’ll advise you on where to park during the tour, and if there are no spots available, just wait for a spot to open up.

No, this tour can only be done clockwise, beginning and ending in Paia. 

Great! This means you can really take your time and break the tour up into two days. Just switch the tour off when you arrive in Hana, and turn it back on when you’re ready to get on the road the next day.

Shaka Guide isn’t just about getting from point A to point B — it’s like having a tour guide in your car, sharing stories and local insights as you drive. Unlike other navigation apps, we’ve planned the route for you, so instead of focusing on directions, you can focus on the experience. This means you can’t customize the route, but that’s kind of the point. You’re still in control though, you can skip stops, go at your own pace, and explore freely. It’s not just about getting there; it’s about enjoying the journey.

Still have questions? Send us an email at aloha@shakaguide.com or give us a call at (808) 201-8138.

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.

Excellent app! Audio tour- spot on guide, it gives you choices or suggestions, highlights of the tour etc. We loved the music and history mixed with educational and interesting stories. We love it.

I never review anything but this app was that good. We bought the Maui bundle and used both the Haleakala Sunset and Road to Hana classic tours. The Road to Hana tour was indispensable as you lose your cell signal really quickly but this app kept us up to date with maps, stories and music. This is a must for anyone doing RTH!

I have used Shaka guides on Maui and Kaua’i and it is the best way to see the sites and be entertained at the same time. I love the fact that you have the downloads forever as I will be returning to Maui today to use Shaka Guide again. Mahalo for such a great product.

Traveled to Maui with my in-laws, husband and our 6-year old daughter and we were all engaged, informed and entertained by the tour and the music along the way. Felt like we paid for a premium tour but in the comfort of our own car. Highly recommend.

Shaka Guide didn’t just make our trip better—it completely transformed it. We used nearly all of the tours on both Maui and Oahu, and I can honestly say it was the single best purchase we made for our vacation. What surprised me most was how much my family learned, especially my children. We expected navigation and sightseeing tips, but we didn’t expect to come away with such a deep appreciation for Hawaii’s history, culture, and people. The storytelling is absolutely phenomenal. As we traveled around the islands, the guides introduced us to Hawaiian history, legends, important historical figures, and cultural traditions in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. Later, when we visited places like Pearl Harbor, ʻIolani Palace, Kualoa Ranch, the North Shore, and other sites, my children would recognize names, statues, and landmarks from the stories they had heard during the tours. They were genuinely excited to make those connections, and it turned what could have been “just another stop” into something meaningful and memorable. Another thing we loved was how helpful the navigation was. We absolutely would have missed numerous turnoffs, overlooks, and points of interest without the guide. Having Shaka Guide essentially riding shotgun meant we knew exactly when to slow down, where to turn, and which hidden gems were coming up. It also introduced us to places we never would have known existed and likely would never have found on our own. Shaka Guide made the islands come alive. Instead of simply seeing beautiful scenery, we understood what we were seeing and why it mattered. We left Hawaii with a much greater appreciation for its people, culture, history, and traditions. The flexibility was also amazing. We could travel at our own pace, stop wherever we wanted, linger at favorite spots, and skip others without the pressure of a group tour. It felt like having an incredibly knowledgeable local guide riding along with us the entire time. We’ve taken many family vacations over the years, and very few purchases have delivered this much value. The memories, knowledge, and appreciation we gained because of Shaka Guide are priceless. If you’re visiting Hawaii, download Shaka Guide before you arrive. It will enrich your trip in ways you don’t expect and help create memories that last long after the vacation is over. Mahalo, Shaka Guide! 🤙🌺

We used Shaka many, many years ago on Maui and never forgot how wonderful it was. Some years later we visited Kauai and new Shaka wouldn't let us down. Of course, it was perfect. Now we're on a trip to Denver and checked out what Shaka had to offer. Rocky Mountain National Park!!! It didn't disappoint. Great narration, nice interim music, fun historical facts. I felt bad for everyone else who was just driving up the road without the benefit of what we were hearing. We LOVE Shaka Guide!

We love Shaka Guide! We started using it in Maui years ago and just used it again in some of Utah’s Mighty 5. Well worth the price. It’s so easy, informative and entertaining. It’s loaded with suggestions on what to see and what to skip depending on your time constraints. Just sit back and enjoy. You don’t have to be reading about what you’re looking at or guessing at what you’re seeing. It gives you the history, geology and back stores to everything. I’m sure you’ll love it as much as our whole family does!
