Incredible!

This added so much to our visit to volcano national park! So easy to follow along and super entertaining and educational. I will be buying the big park package because we live in Utah and we will be taking more tours this summer! Thanks! Incredibly well thought out and executed!

Shaka Guides always great!

We have used Shaka Guides now on three Hawaiian Islands, Utah and Colorado. It is always reliable and we feel fortunate to use it as a tool for trip planning and a guide to some of the most amazing scenic views available on earth. Also, as a history buff, I love the historical and cultural stories. Thanks again Shaka guides!!

Greatly Enhances Your Experience!

Been traveling Southern Utah and visiting the “Big 5” national parks here. So glad we got this! Living in the southwest I often comment that it would be great to have a geologist in the car with us to help. Explain what we’re seeing this is that and so much more. Like the title says it greatly enhances your experience worth every penny don’t question just get this thing and enjoy, thanks to the creators and presenters who are doing a fantastic job and I even recognized a few songs from my Indy catalog. We live nomadically and plan on using this every opportunity we have keep creating and will keep traveling.
