Customer Reviews
Aloha Lifesaver!
We discovered Shaka Guide last year when we stayed in Maui. We found the Road to Hana tour invaluable. It was truly like having a local in the Jeep with us. So when we returned to Kauai for next trip we got the 4 pack and wasn’t disappointed. You made our time here action packed and fun. It kept us on track, never backtracking and always on the go. We saw more than we would have if we’d had to figure it out ourselves. Mahalo! We will be back!

Completed 3 of the 4 tours on this island and it did not disappoint! We got to see so much and in a short time as a result of this app! Loved the highlights, music and all the amazing sights (waterfalls, views, beaches and hikes), like a personal tour guide, at our own pace❤️
H-Anissa | 1 week ago | iOSLoved this tour app in Kauai!
I want to preface this by saying I never ever write app reviews. My husband and I just traveled to Kauai for his birthday. Even though it’s a small island I was so overwhelmed with finding the best places to explore. There was so much to do and I didn’t want to miss out on the best spots for us to experience. This app was a life saver! We were really impressed with the GPS audio tour of each side of the island. It is so nice to do the tours on your own time and stay as long as you want. That wouldn’t be possible if you were doing a group tour and I would have no idea what would be a good stop if I planned it on my own. One day we had surf lessons but they were rescheduled because of weather, not to worry because we could hop in the car on a whim and start a tour instead. The day was not wasted! We loved learning about the culture and found it very helpful for what was worth a stop and what we could pass on. My only suggestion would be to incorporate a travel user interface for apple car play that acts more like google maps or Apple Maps. We found it hard to tell exactly where to turn at some spots distance wise. We had to keep zooming out to see upcoming turns because the audio instructions were just a tad early. We are excited to try this app with some national parks!
