Best Tour Guide

We used this for our Maui trip and did the tour for the reverse road to Hana, the national park, and to drive around the island in general. Having grown up on Oahu I knew some of the history but hearing it told where it happened and been more in depth was amazing. Add in the perfect GPS coordinated directions and food recipes and we couldn’t have asked for a better trip. Mahalo!

Used the Shaka Guide app to do the full circle Oahu your. Can't say enough good things about it! 10/10 recommend!

Worth the price

This app is really well done. We just had two great days in Oahu with the Shaka app. It’s like having your own personal tour guide in your car. Easy to use and pretty spot on with the directions. Hope to be able to use more Shaka tours in the future!
