Love Shaka!

We’ve used Shaka guide for both Big Island and Maui and love the experience, narration and ease of use. Even with no cell service we were able to listen, learn and experience things we would’ve otherwise missed.

We've used the app twice on the Big Island and just completed our first tour on Kauai. Love it so much. It gives us direction/focus (and the cultural history) for each part of the island. We will never visit an island without using the app!

What to expect in Hamakua Coast Scenic Drive?

Experience the breathtaking Hamakua Coast scenic drive with Shaka Guide on the North Island Jungle Adventure Loop. This tour makes stops at Onomea Trail, Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls, Laupahoehoe, Waipio Valley Overlook, and Hilo Town.

What are some of the Hamakua Coast activities?

Aside from the beauty that the Hamakua Coast offers, you can hike to waterfalls, visit botanical gardens, explore historic sites, and more. On Shaka Guide’s North Island Jungle Adventure Loop, we’ll guide you to a selection of must-see stops along...

Where is the Hamakua Coast?

The Hamakua Coast is located along the northeast coast of Hawaii’s Big Island. It extends from the town of Hilo to the town of Waipio. You can start the North Island Jungle Adventure Loop tour in Hilo, Kona, or Waikoloa and take it in any direction.

What is an Audio Tour Guide?

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.
