Road to Hana loop

It was nice having Shaka Guide narrating our tour. I would 100% recommend their audio tour 🙌🏽

Moab

Wonderful adjunct to any planning (or lack of planning) you may have done for a trip to Moab. We saw the Arches and Canyonland and used Shaka for both. Great listening. Program did stop a couple of times in Canyonland (no service whatsoever) but able to pick right back up where we left off when restarted. Strongly recommend this app

Fantastic guide!!!!

Shaka Guide is the best guided tour app out there. I have been to several National Parks and battlefields using Shaka Guide, and I’ll never use a different one. The narration is amazing, filled with facts that you may have known about your location. I’ve never had any issues with it “losing” the navigation either. Very seamless!

FAQ

What is a GPS audio tour?

A GPS audio tour is an app that uses your device's GPS to automatically play narration as you drive or walk. It provides directions to points of interest, shares stories about the locations, offers travel tips, and includes local music, functioning like a personal tour guide.

How does Shaka Guide work?

The app uses GPS to trigger audio narration at specific locations. It guides you to recommended stops, shares historical and cultural information, and offers practical advice like food and restroom locations. You can choose to follow the suggested itinerary or customize it by skipping or selecting specific stops.

Can I use the tours offline?

Yes, the app provides a reliable offline map feature. This means you can still access directions and audio content even when you don't have cellular service, making it ideal for remote areas like national parks.

What kind of tours are available?

The app offers over 90 audio tours across various locations, including popular national parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Grand Teton, as well as scenic drives such as Hawaii's Road to Hana and the Boston Freedom Trail. Tours are available for multiple days and can be used in different directions.

How much do the tours cost?

The app is free to download and offers a selection of tours. Additional tours or bundles, such as the Yellowstone National Park + Grand Teton Audio Tour Bundle for $14.99, can be purchased through in-app purchases.
