Invaluable adventure information!
We learned about Shaka Guide in HI and are so happy to see them expanding to other national parks and adventure areas in the continental US as well. Excellent experience. We will always use them for guided tours where available. Thank you!!

Maureen Chovancek | 4 months ago | AndroidMade our visits to National Parks the best ever
We have used the the Shaka Guide at four national parks and each time the guide helped illuminate and navigate each park making the day we spent in the parks some of our best vacation days ever. It can be hard to plan a trip without a lot of research and local expert knowledge but with the Shaka guide you don’t need either. The music is great too. Not too much, not too little of either the guide talking or the music playing.

What is an Audio Tour Guide?
Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here's how it works:
- GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk.
- Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
