Customer Reviews
Shaka 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!
Robin Barker Fox | 6 days ago | iOSGreat experience
If you like traveling off the beaten path and seeing sights that the locals know, this is the app to use! Loved the north Big Island experience so much we canceled our chartered tours and downloaded 2 of the other Shaka guides. Fun adventure exploring the island at our own pace. Skipped parts we weren’t interested in and explored off road experiences that intrigued us. Really enjoyed the entire tour!!!
mpls08 | 2 weeks ago | iOSGreat Hawaii tours
We ended up using Shaka tours as a resource to help us plan our time and navigate is around the big island and couldn’t have been happier. Definitely takes you to some touristy spots, but none it’s not terrible.
