Shaka Guide was AMAZING!! A great value for the money, and incredibly flexible. If you have a car with Bluetooth, or a speaker, and want to explore Oahu on your own, at your own pace, this self guided tour is a great value, and so much fun. The narrator gives great driving directions verbally, as well as suggestions about where to park, when to stop for a bathroom, and options for photos and food, plus background info and wonderful music.
