  • Great app!!

    This app is so helpful with its stories and local legends. It takes you step by step they the area and because the tour is gps enabled, you’re able to take your time with the local sights and then pick back up right where you left off once you’re back in the car. When listening to the narrator tell the stories along your tour, you’ll feel like a local is talking to you. The only suggestion I have for improvement is the waypoints should turn colors once you’ve already stopped and completed them to help you keep track of where you have been. Overall, the best money we spent on vacation; there is no way we would know most of the history and legends that are dictated in each tour. If you’re traveling to Hawaii, make sure you download the app for your designated island(s) and get the individual tours. You won’t be disappointed!!
  • Fantastic tour app

    This tour app was the highlight of the trip! Like a personal private tour guide, we learned so much! Great history, cultural insights, stories, humor and the best Hawaiian music ever. The GPS link enabled us to travel at our own speed, skip certain sites, even jump between tours. And, it’s a bargain price! Welcome to the new world of travel guidance.
  • Great App for The Big Island

    I used 3 of the 5 Shaka driving tours this week on the big island and, while there were a few minor glitches, 99% of the time it was very beneficial and accurate. We were there for 6 nights and did the South Loop Epic tour from Kona to the Volcanoes National Park, where we switched over to that tour. Once finished at Kilauea, we continued the South Loop tour back around to Kona. You can skip certain aspects and do them another time, which is convenient and economical. The topics and monologues along the way were informative, and the music was fun to hear.

    We used the Shaka Guide to traverse the Big Island once travel was allowed with negative covid test. Unfortunately, many museums and shops were closed. However there were still plenty of hikes and sites to see using Shaka Guide. We found it to be essential as it guided us around the island and gave us background on the different parts of the island. This avoided someone in our group becoming carsick from needing to research and read aloud during the drives. It was worth the $ to purchase and download all of the tours.

    I can’t say enough about this app! We downloaded the package for our trip to the Big Island. We were able to complete 4 of the 5 tours. They were so informative. We learned so much history along our drives, and also there were a lot of suggested stops we would have never come across ourselves. It was especially helpful when letting you know what beaches were good for snorkeling and which ones you should just admire and not swim, as well as describing hikes so we knew what to be prepared for endurance and time wise. I HIGHLY recommend. It was worth EVERY penny of the $25 for the tour package. We are looking forward to doing the tours again, and also doing the tours on the other islands. I wish I had a guide like this for every trip! My only suggestion is that there would be a “farewell” tour on your way back to the airport lol. We enjoyed it so much we played the tour on our way to the airport again just to hear all the history and music. We all thought it would be fun if there was a last little tour for the way home. Hopefully maybe others will feel the same and they’ll add one!!! ~Aloha

    This app needs to be updated for covid conditions , and for attractions that no longer exist. Many places were closed during this time. When it works , it works well. But when it didn’t , it was very disappointing.
  • fantastic tours!

    We spent a week in the Big Island so we bought all five Shaka Big Island tours, and it was the best $25 we spent all week! We did all five tours and thoroughly enjoyed them. We especially liked being able to go at our own pace, pause when we want to take a break, or skip things that we don’t have time for.
