Super helpful
We really enjoyed using this app. We learned lots about the island and visited beautiful beaches and landmarks. The best way to have a day to explore at your own pace.
Excellent Guide
We’ve used Shaka on other islands and have been very happy with it. It worked well for the Kauai tours.
New treasures found!
We’ve been to Kauai many times and thought we knew it well. The Shaka guided tours took us to new sites and gave us very interesting Hawaiian history along the way. We love the ability to go at our own pace, spending more or less time at locations vs the schedules of much higher priced guided bus tours. We have the Kauai bundle as well as tours covering all of Oahu and the Maui Road to Hanna.
5 stars for customer service as well. We had an issue with the download to a second, backup phone. I chatted from the app and had immediate contact with a real person. Solved in 2 minutes. Thank you Shaka!!

So great!
So informative and helpful to make the drive come alive!
Wimea canyon private guide
This app was great!! First time trying a tour via app. We had a excellent organized tour. Great history and tidbits about the area we were visiting. It was fun too. Loved the control. I’m still learning all the capabilities. Can’t wait for my next tour with this App
Shaka Driving Tours Rock!
We have loaded the driving tours for all the islands. Taken on Oahu, Maui and Kauai so far. The best tour ever found. I love the history and all the sights.
❤️ Fun and interesting
We loved the music and Hawaiian “Casey Kasem”. Lots of fun and learned a lot.
Not a smooth experience
Very frustrating. Sometimes the sound came through our car’s speakers, sometimes it came through my iPhone speakers, and sometimes it changed to a local radio station. I deleted the app and reinstalled it, this didn’t help. A waste of my money. 😕
Great app for roadtrips
We love having these Driving tours to improve our trips. So many interesting tidbits and love the Hawaiian tunes
better music
excelente tour i just wish the music would be more upbeat not so much elevator music
Great as always! Monks Now Need Reservation
Loved this tour as always from Shaka. Only small piece of feedback is that you now need a reservation for the Indian monastery, and that’s not called out in the tour yet
Waimea Canyon - Amazing!!!
This was a really well thought-out tour that followed our driving location with no need to skip from track to track. We learned so much not only about the landscape but about cultural experience and legends in the area. It was great to avoid going on google rabbit holes or wondering where the best viewpoints and hikes were, especially since much of the park is outside of cell service range. Thank you!!🤙🏼

Pleasantly surprised
Wasn’t sure what to expect but, this app was one of the highlights of our trip. It’s an engaging way to tour Kauai and learn a little history at the same time. Kids were entertained for the whole 4 hrs on the road seeing the sights around the island.
Kauai
Fantastic
Lots of fun to listen to.
We used this at the end of September 2025 and it was very entertaining. It gives you lots of history of the Island and I feel we saw about everything we could by using this app. Also, when the person is not talking it plays Hawaiian music which was nice when our radio stopped working and we had no cell service.

Super fun and helpful!
Uncle Shaka was the soundtrack of our trip. Without it we would have missed so much scenery and history. Even the background music is pleasant and far from annoying.
My husband is not a “tour” guy but he was super impressed with this and cannot wait to use it in the National Parks. Keep up the good work.

Informative and entertaining
Bought the whole 4-tour Kauai collection and it really enhanced our appreciation of the beautiful signs and scenery of Kauai. App is very easy to use and also provided very clear instructions. Will definitely buy other tours in the future!
Perfect
Clear, never got lost and only missed going to suspension bridges they mentioned but didn’t navigate too for the Weilea Canyon tour. Loved everything about it. What a great value to do this on our own timeline, not some company’s. And the price compared to a tour guide? No brainer, get all 4 tours.

Cuts out
This is a terribly expensive app to be unusable. It would just cut out and I would have to reload it. After several tries, I finally just quit using it.
Added so much to our trip
This was our first time on Kauai, and the Shaka Kauai Audio Tour Guide was a great supplement to our trip of 10 days. We bought the package of all 4 guides for Kauai and used it both when just driving around and also for 2 half-day trips (to Waimea Canyon & to the Kailua area). We learned so much about the island’s history and culture but also got great tips on restaurants. Would definitely recommend! Only critiques are that the app tends to close when using other apps on the phone & that it would be nice to have more songs on the soundtrack. Mahalo for making a great app!
