We love Hawaii. Not just for its beauty, but also for its rich history and culture. We believe that every destination has a story and we want to tell it. In Hawaii, we have over 20 audio tours that do just that — share the stories of the islands.

    We first discovered Shaka Guide in 2021 when we took our first trip to Oahu. It made our driving tour a 5 star experience - music, stories, stops along the way. When we made our plans to go to the Big Island, we bought our airfare and the Shaka Guide. The full island tour was fun. The National Volcano Park amazing! The only thing we were not prepared for is the 37 degrees when we made drove by Mauna Kea. 🥶 If you’re going to get out the car you need long pants and a jacket. I didn’t pack either of those. 😆 We were thrilled to hear Shaka is branching out to provide mainland guides of the National Parks. We will definitely be back for thirds, fourths, and more!
  • Thank you Shaka Guide!

    What an amazing app. It was a blessing that we had the app downloaded because we had very little cell service around the island. The information and turns were on point and the island music in between stops was very relaxing. The fact that you can stay in your own car and not have to be stuffed into a tour van was well worth the bundle purchase. I can’t wait to get to the next island with you as our guide.

    The Shaka Guides for Hawaii are wonderful! The history, culture, nuances, and so much more that are explored for every Hawaiian island tour are a treasure. I have listened to the tour before hitting the road, and then again at the end of the day in the hotel room, just to relive the moments! I’m SO glad I found this app! And the bonus info for eats, and beaches, and, and, and… unbelievable value for my money!

    We used it today and it was so fun to see the backroads of the island, we only did one tour and are planning to do more tomorrow! Enjoyed the guided tour on our own schedule, great stories and island history, LOVED the Tsunami memorial Park and NEVER would have found that on our own! Can’t wait to see what we discover tomorrow!!
