Awesome App!

This app made our day at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park so terrific! We learned tons of facts we wouldn’t have known, and the gps worked great to point out relevant sites.

Used their guides for Road to Hana and the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tour, thought they were both great and loved the audio & that they included the history for so much of the tour.

We did the tours on Oahu, Kona and Kauai. They were all awesome and took us to places we would have never found on our own.

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...
