Perfect! We really enjoyed it.
Logan Sullivan | 2 days ago | AndroidThe Road to Hana tour was amazing! The GPS was synced perfectly and the timely narrative was incredible! The stories and history made the drive even better. The recommended stops were great and the music really helped set the mood. 10/10 highly recommended!

Loving the guidance. Thanks.
tsteenblik | 5 days ago | iOSAwesome!
Amazing! Saved our group $1000 on a tour. Gave an abundance of information and great guidance. My only wish is that it repeated some of the recommended stops on the way back. We had reservations at Waiʻānapanapa State Park so had to move quickly past a few stops in the beginning. We planned to hit them on the way back, but the guide doesn’t repeat a lot of those things (which I am sure some people prefer).
amandab10 | 5 days ago | iOSAmazing Day thanks to Shaka Guide!
A day we’ll never forget thanks to Shaka Guide’s Road to Hana loop guide! We almost turned around in Hana, but we were enjoying the tour so much we pressed on! So glad we did, there’s so much beauty beyond Hana. The scenery, narration, the history & the music all made for the perfect day!

We loved this tour. Having our own personal guide tell the history and walk us through every step of the park was awesome. Highly recommend.
Tami M. Shaka Fan | 5 days ago | iOSAmazing, really.
Really felt like you had a tour guide right with you, the Road to Hana is not the most relaxing trip, but with this app and what the Shaka team produced, it really did help make the 10 plus hour day fly by.
