Unbelievable Value!

We were heading to the big island of Hawaii for our spring break, worried about what we might be able to see and do, and how to do it all. I found this app linked from someone in a blog and found the 5 tour package for the big island. After sampling and reading about it, I purchased the bundle (amazing price for all five!), and we spent some time reviewing the tours before heading over. There was a ton of information even without being on the tour, and we even identified our top priorities for our trip. Once there, starting the tour, we found it incredibly useful, fun, fact-filled, and well organized. We did all five tours in their entirety, aside from a few overlapping points, and used discretion on some points based on time and party interest. The narrator was funny and made fact presentations fun and interesting. Highly recommend if you’re going to one of their destinations!

Hawai’i Day trip

Used the Shaka guide during our day trip on the big island. We knew we wanted to do volcano national park but were able to add great stops along the way from Kona thanks to the Shaka Guide. Highly recommend.
