Today was the first time we used the app. it took us places we had not visited previously on our many visits to Kauai. We used the Wailua Falls tour.. There was a lot of historical information included that we found very interesting. We will use other tours available.

The guide itself is very informative and entertaining. I recommended highly with one thought for improvement. I am on Kauai for two weeks and doing a lot of traveling back-and-forth. I am staying both in Poipu for a week and in Princeville for a week. The Kawaii app is broken down Into four different trips. This is fine if you’re taking four separate days and following each separate trip. What I have found is that because I’m traveling from Poipu sometimes to Lihue And sometimes further to the north such as going to Kapaa we’re going the other way towards Waimea. I have not been able to take full advantage of each specific trip. What would be great to have an entire island package so that no matter where I go I am getting the interesting info that is available on this app. As it stands, I have to pick one of the four tours and hopefully get something from it. I will eventually be using the Waimea tour as well as the North Shore tour specifically. With all the driving, I have been doing mostly what I end up listening to is beautiful Hawaiian music, which is a nice addition. I feel this could be so much more useful, interactive, and beneficial if I didn’t have to pick a specific route each time I’m in the car.

Where is Waimea Canyon?

Waimea Canyon is located on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," it is situated on the western side of the island, near the town of Waimea.

How was Waimea Canyon formed?

Waimea Canyon was formed through millions of years of erosion by the Waimea River and its tributaries. The constant flow of water carved through the volcanic rock layers creates the deep and colorful canyon we see today.

How to see Waimea Canyon?

There are several ways to view Waimea Canyon. Take a guided tour like Shaka Guide’s self-guided Waimea Canyon and Na Pali driving tour. You’ll get turn-by-turn directions to popular spots, music, and stories along the way. You can also view Waimea...

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.
