Customer Reviews
It was like having a friend guide the way.
I am so glad I purchased this guide to Zion National Park. The GPS was able to pinpoint where we were. Music played along when there was no narrative. We paused it when we stopped at an overlook. The Zion parking had just filled up when we pulled in but luckily we were able to drive Rt. 9 through the park and take the Mt. Carmel tunnel. The narrator kept the drive interesting and fun. Later on in the day when a parking spot opened up we used it on the shuttle. I highly recommend this!
DDDDDDFDDDDZ | 6 months ago | iOSGreatly 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.

This was a must have on your road to Hana. The GPS system worked amazing! Was not expecting that. But the commentary was excellent. We stopped at all the places I wanted to see. Avoided some we didn’t. All the time being entertained with great stories and great music for the drive! Looking forward to taking additional tours in the future. We just did the Utah National Park vacation a year ago and really wish I knew about Shaka!!
