Shaka guide- Kauai, Waimea canyon

Shakatourist | January 2022
Somewhat confusing to set it up. Confusing to start the trip. During the trip it was good. Informative and entertaining. Narration skipped a few times. Several times it was very slow to respond. Wondered if it was disconnected? So tried restarting it all over. Instructions not clear about turning Shaka off when stopping to take pictures using same phone. We plan to try another Kauai tour in a few days.
