Found this app while researching for guides for the road to Hana. All the five star reviews drew me to the Shaka Maui guide. The app is a free download and then you purchase individual tours (usually $20 each). At first I said, 20 bucks!! But it is well worth the price. The guide is funny (some corney jokes) and the music that played along the way added to our experience. The guide is so informative and will tell you stops that you can skip if you are short on time and stops that should not be missed. On the way back the guide let is know about stops the we skipped which was very helpful to let us go if we wanted. The guide tells about the history and interesting facts. The guide led us on an unexpected side trip off the road to Hana and it was well worth it, so listen to the guide… you never know what new thing you will find! Lastly, the guide will tell you to be sure and plug your phone into the car’s charging port. Do this for sure as the app takes a lot of power to run. Also you can launch the car play and play the app through the car’s speakers. This was great! Do recommend this app and will look at Shaka’s other guide offerings for future trips.

This app *made* our Road to Hana guide — seriously we could not have done it with out this app. The music, the narration, and the GPS tracking were the perfect complement. Thank you!

Used Shaka for Grand Circle Island Tour in Oahu and it was awesome. Lots of great tid bits and stops. Highly recommend for this tour. However, would not recommend for Highway to Hana. Our two favorite stops of the day: the Hana Lava Tube and the Hana Farm Matket were not mentioned. And, many of the parking and pull over options were too late and we were already past them or right next to them and it was too late to stop. Also, the music between tips was sometimes a bit too sleepy.

So perfect tour! Definitely recommend! Enjoy Shaka!

We recently purchased this app while driving the Big Island of Hawaii. The tours were very informative and easy to use. I highly recommend using this app as it was both easy to use and entertaining all along the way. The history provided was interesting and we learned many facts that we would have otherwise missed.

We discovered Shaka Guide on a trip to Hawaii and enjoyed it a ton. So we were excited to find a tour for Arches. Our Shaka Guide did not disappoint. Entertaining. Informative. Helpful. We had a truly incredible experience.

We LOVED this tour, as it allowed us to appreciate the culture and hidden gems of Maui! Very detailed and the background music was a plus

Man did we enjoy this tour. Would not have seen most of Hawaiis beauty without this. Great work.

I don’t know that I’ve ever written an app review before, but this one is highly deserving! My friend and I did very minimal research on the Road to Hana and this app completely saved us. The guide was great, would tell us exactly where to pull over for a great view, what to squeeze in if we had the time and what to skip if we didn’t. It made our day so much better than if we had done the research ourselves and saved us a ton of time! Highly recommend if you’re driving the road to Hana, this was probably our trip highlight!
