Customer Reviews
I used the guide for Maui Road to Hana on our last trip to Hawaii and absolutely loved it. Once we landed in Kauai, I purchased the Kauai package. We used the Waimea Canyon yesterday and enjoyed our trip so much. I really appreciated the heads up that the last lookout was closed, and we'd have to walk to it if we wanted to see it. The history, humor, and tips make this app so worth it. Highly recommend, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the driving tours while we are on the island.
Rebecca Beaulieu | 2 days ago | AndroidGreat addition to our drive !
Loved using the app for the Waimea Canyon tour. Fun stories and and history and music. Narration was helpful knowing when to get ready to make a stop and available facilities.

We used the Shaka Guide tour for Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast and it was everything and more for what we needed. Easy directions, accurate GPS, and we saw more sites than we could have imagined! The tour was very informative and gave us insights to Hawaii’s history, legends, and local folklore. We loved it and can’t wait to use it on Maui! Well worth the money.

How was Waimea Canyon formed?
Waimea Canyon was formed through millions of years of erosion by the Waimea River and its tributaries. The constant flow of water carved through the volcanic rock layers creates the deep and colorful canyon we see today.
