Absolutely awesome

the wespys | April 2021
We loved the Shaka guides for our time in Kauai. We learned so much, and squeezed so much into our time here, thanks to Shaka! We all learned a little Hawaiian to take hime with us, and loved exploring the island on our one time. The folklore was an especially big hit with our kids (ages 10, 8, and 4). They loved hearing all the history and legend that Kauai has and seeing it play out in the land around them as we drive by was amazing. Shaka guide is a must for anyone traveling to Kauai!

Great app and tour. Especially helpful because of the map and GPS. We had little cell service and with the downloaded tour we always knew where we were. The Iniki let the chickens song was a total crack up. 😁

We left the house at 8am and got back at 6:21 pm because we took our time at each stop along the way. The narrator is just the perfect amount of adorable kooky fun! would highly recommend!
