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.
clsargeant8 | 1 day ago | iOSFantastic Big Island Audio Tour
This GPS audio tour of the Big Island was the perfect companion as we spent a few days touring the northern coast, Hilo, Mauna Kea, and the southern coast of the island. I loved the informational facts and really enjoyed the Hawaiian music. The narrators voice was very easy to listen to and we liked the optional side trips off the beaten path. I would definitely recommend these tours to anyone looking for a self paced, scenic drive through this beautiful state.
K8Walks | 2 months ago | iOSShaka required for exploring!
I can’t rave enough about SHAKA guide. We have used Shaka for Maui, THE BIG ISLAND, Kauai, Yosemite, Sequia National Park, and Kings Canyon. The audio tour genuinely makes 8-10 hour exploring trips worth every minute. I have kids that are 8 and 10 years old, they love Shaka too. We landed in Kona and immediately turned on Shaka to start our Hawaiian vacation. It blows my mind that people still walk up to the ranger desk and ask what they should see when visiting a national park. All you need is Shaka! Can’t recommend enough!
