Kauai North Shore Tour

This was a great tour and resource. We found places and saw things you would never find by yourself (IMHO). The stories and history were also very entertaining. A must if you have not been here before.

North Shore Tour

Myself and my family of 4 loved this tour!!!! Awesome spots to stop, a lot of great stories about Kauai! We stopped almost everywhere that was suggested! Beautiful hidden beaches we would have never found, cute little town stops and food along the way too! Highly highly recommend!!!!

Worth Every Penny and a Million More!

My sister and I decided to rent a car for our time in Waikiki so we would not be tethered to large group tours. When I found the Shaka guide, I was excited to use it but wasn’t 100% sure how it would work and how well it would work. From the second, I started my first tour I was blown away by how in depth the directions were, how entertaining and educational the stories were, and how delightful the presenter was. I would recommend this and will recommend this to everybody that I know that is heading to Hawaii and the other national parks. Thank you Shaka for making my Waikiki trip even better than what I thought it could be!
