### 5/5 — Great Tour

*2026-08-25, version 9.1.8*

This was perfect for our trip on the road to Hana. We loved every bit of it. Very informative and an all around great guide

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-25, version 9.1.8*

I was pretty skeptical before purchasing. It was my first time in Maui and I wanted a good trip. This guide was so good! I learned about the land while being able to just enjoy the ride. It felt like listening to a audio book. The suggestions for the stops are great as well. If you are purchasing this app for Hana road you will love it!

### 5/5 — Classic Road to Hana On Point

*2026-08-21, version 9.1.8*

This was the second time we used Shaka Tours and it was just as exceptional as the first. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

### 5/5 — Great tours of Hana and Haleakala

*2026-08-15, version 9.1.8*

The Shaka Guide Maui came recommended by someone at our hotel. I bought the full package for Maui, but we only got to do the Road to Hana (a full day), and Haleakala at Sunset (we did it in 5 hours). Both tours were excellent and enjoyed by kids and adults alike. The app worked flawlessly and used GPS to explain highlights on our trip. In between landmarks, the music was great. On the way back, the history of Maui was interesting and the quality of the story-telling top notch. I highly recommend Shaka Guide Maui!
