    So many good things about this guide! Saved a bunch of arguments with my wife about where to stop or where to go. It made the drive relaxing instead of nerve wracking. It’s almost like a guided meditation. There was a talk toward the beginning that helps put you in the right mental state for the drive and it is really good at putting you at ease like if a parking lot is full and what’s the best course of action. (Often it’s: “we have to skip this but there’s so much more ahead”) It discusses the culture of the local people and how to interact, there is nice Hawaiian music that also plays. The app knows what time it is and lets you know what you still have time to do and it lets you know in the most soothing way. The history lesson on the drive back had us thoroughly engaged as well! First time writing a review on an app ever- I felt like I needed to!

    So glad I downloaded and used. The audio tour is a must have for the guided tour on the road to Hāna. Extremely useful guide source keeping one informed as to what’s coming up, which allows the driver to focus on the >600 curves being navigated. The stories on the drive back were informational and made the time fly. Well worth the cost.

    We downloaded this specifically for the Road to Hana but were pleasantly surprised to use it for both sunrise at Haleakalā and exploring West Maui! This app let us get a more in depth experience while touring the island that you just can’t get from reading a guidebook. Highly recommend!!
  • Worth it!!!

    I don’t typical give reviews but I’m so glad we purchased this guide! The history gave so much meaning to the Road to Hana. Not having to keep track of mile markers and the tips made the trip much more relaxing and enjoyable. We would’ve missed some of the stops that ended being our favorites if not for this app.
  • Excellent audio tour of road to Hana

    The tour effectively walked us through the trip to Hana highlighting stops along the way and providing clear instructions on how to be safe and where to park and enough information to choose which activities to participate in which activities to choose to not participate in. The narration and narrator were engaging. We appreciated the historical stories on the return trip.
  • Do THIS if you’re not a group tour person!!!

    We did both their road to Hanā and Haleakalā Sunset tours, both were awesome!!! Last time we were on Maui we felt like there was so much to do but hard to plan and we’re not group tour people. We love to run on our own time and Shaka gives you the freedom to do that! The directions are great as is the CarPlay integration but the highlight is the stories and history you learn along the way. The music is wonderful too and not distracting as both drives are challenging in their own ways. We really left both places with a deeper understanding and some new fun facts, much more than had we just used Waze. I cannot recommend enough!!!!
  • Loved it!

    Download your tour before you head out to ensure you don't have to prepay for any stops beforehand. The app was great. It told us beforehand about a place we might want to stop at and shared its history. I will be using this app again.

    I got to try out the Hana part of the App and came away impressed with the tour. Worked very well in areas with no signal and was on-point regarding stops, parking and most of all the history of this historical heritage. I’ll be buying more tours from the App in the future.
  • Indispensable for Hāna Road

    The guide is clear, convenient, fun, and informative. It made the difficult road to Hana a delight.
