Amazing self guided tour. GPS was spot on as were all the stops. Family enjoyed it!
Fofenny | 1 hour ago | iOSAll the expertise of a guide at low cost!
We used Shaka Guide on a recent trip to Volcanoes National Park! It was the perfect travel companion. We only had a day so we can chose our route and Shaka Guide picked up right where we were, providing us with valuable information on the best stops as well as history and cultural info on the area. It really felt like we had all the perks of an in person guide but the freedom to do things on our schedule. Highly recommended!
FreddieDogMom | 1 hour ago | iOSJust did our first tour using Shaka today (of Kona) and it was amazing! We got to see things we would've missed without the app. The directions were fantastic as was the story telling & music. Thoroughly enjoyed it & will be using it again!
