Awesome Adventures at your Pace
This app is well worth the cost, especially compared to bus tours. We got the Oahu tour bundle. You will need a vehicle, unless you plan to use the walking tours only. We used it on the Oahu’s Grand circle island tour, as well as Honolulu’s backyard tour. It was easy to load and directions were great. Especially enjoyed the history lessons and sights we probably would not have viewed otherwise. You go at your own pace, skip what you want, stop where you want. Can’t say enough about the value of this app. The only glitch I noticed was when using the iPhone camera to take photos, sometimes the app froze and a had to restart it, but it picked up where I had left off, so not too inconvenient. We plan to use again in a return visit. Thanks!

A MUST for road to Hana
We downloaded the Shaka app for our self-guided tour of the road to Hana in Maui. Let me just say it was well worth the $20. Honestly this tour was SO well done, Maui tourism should advertise it. Not only did it guide us on a road with zero cell service, it gave us in depth info about each stop before we got to it. It taught us about the beautiful history of Hawai’i and had great music along the way. My favorite part had to have been the reminders to respect the road signs, nature, and most importantly the locals. As respectful tourists, it is really nice to know the not so obvious
not to do’s or places locals would like to keep to themselves. This was a very great thing to add to the tour and I really respect that!
We chose the classic road to Hana as the loop is currently closed. I thought the ride home was going to be boring but to my surprise, the tour included a whole new bunch of info for the ride back! So so so well done. Probably even better than the guided tours. I will absolutely be recommending this and will definitely use it again when we return to Hawai’i!!!

Mahalo for your review and recommendation. Hope to see you and your family again on more Shaka Guide adventures on the Islands! 🤙😍🤙
Immersive, helpful, and so much fun!!!!
I never write reviews but I simply have no choice but to rave about this app! We purchased the classic Road to Hana tour and started it in Paia town. By the end of our day, my fiancé and I were legitimately sad to hear our virtual guide say his goodbyes. We felt so connected to the tour all day! It took us to all of the popular spots and gave us so much insight into the rich history surrounding the island of Maui! The guide gives you so many tips while driving and stopping which so so helpful- especially when driving on a road that so many locals are using on a daily basis, we wanted to make sure we were respectful and mindful that we are visitors and the Shaka Guide let us know to pull over for locals, where it’s appropriate to park, and what sites we should just drive by instead of stopping. Overall this was such an immersive and wonderful experience and we can’t wait to use the Shaka Guide app on our next trip to Hawaii!

Great app. Some parts could be better.
Great app for touring O’ahu.
I started in Waikiki and was very confused about where the start exactly was. It would be great if the start could have an address.
Once I got out of Waikiki it was very easy to use, the gps directions were easy, the information and stops were great.

Great guide
Bought the Capital Reef tour - excellent
Worked intermittently
Downloaded this app for my trip to Maui and followed all the instructions and this app only worked intermittently with no instructions or directions. Waste of money.
Saw Much More!
Great to use when touring. Saw some things we’d never have noticed.
À must for Hawaii visit
We purshased the classic road to Hana tour and the legendary North shore loop. We loved both tour. Shaka guide is a must for a visit to Hawaii.
Hawaii - Big Island and Maui
This app is a must if visiting Hawaii. It gives you your own personal tour guide right in the car. Highly recommended.
Worth it for adult travelers & families!
We downloaded this app for a trip to Maui back in 2021 per the recommendation of some friends. It was so much fun to be able to listen to the history and engaging stories, and visit the stops, with our young children. In this age, when kids are so dependent on iPads, traveling in places where there is no cell phone service can make for cranky experiences. The fact that this is GPS triggered means it doesn’t need cell service. The stops on the tour were incredibly fun, and the stories made everyone laugh.
We recently returned from Las Vegas where we downloaded the Hoover dam and Red Rock Canyon Tours. They were also fantastic! No kids in the car this time, but it was equally as enjoyable. I can’t wait to road trip out west with the family in the coming years. I’m so glad they have added north & southwestern destinations!!
