Thank for the great stories

The guide itself is very informative and entertaining. I recommended highly with one thought for improvement. I am on Kauai for two weeks and doing a lot of traveling back-and-forth. I am staying both in Poipu for a week and in Princeville for a week. The Kawaii app is broken down Into four different trips. This is fine if you’re taking four separate days and following each separate trip. What I have found is that because I’m traveling from Poipu sometimes to Lihue And sometimes further to the north such as going to Kapaa we’re going the other way towards Waimea. I have not been able to take full advantage of each specific trip. What would be great to have an entire island package so that no matter where I go I am getting the interesting info that is available on this app. As it stands, I have to pick one of the four tours and hopefully get something from it. I will eventually be using the Waimea tour as well as the North Shore tour specifically. With all the driving, I have been doing mostly what I end up listening to is beautiful Hawaiian music, which is a nice addition. I feel this could be so much more useful, interactive, and beneficial if I didn’t have to pick a specific route each time I’m in the car.

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!
