    This was our first trip to Maui and our first adventure on the Road to Hana. We couldn’t have done the trip without Shaka Guide. It truly guided us the entire trip. Amazing experience!
  • Hana Full Loop

    The full loop Road to Hana is one of the best things we’ve ever done on any vacation. And the Shaka App is an absolute must. Entertaining, informative, great stories, nice Hawaiian music playing between waypoints. I cannot say enough good things about this app. It is just phenomenal. Also, don’t let anyone scare you out of doing the full loop. If you have a jeep or 4WD vehicle, are patient and courteous to local drivers, and just respect local requests (no parking, no trespassing, etc) it is not a bad drive, and by skipping it you will miss out on some truly breathtaking places in Maui. Thanks you to the team at Shaka app for taking a great experience way way over the top.

    I wouldn't have wanted to take the Road to Hana without this app. Not only did it enrich the experience with fun facts, interesting stories, and history lessons, it helped us know how to be respectful to locals and even where to stop for a restroom break. The narrator was outstanding and the music which I expected to be annoying was actually relaxing and an enjoyable addition to our drive. 10/10 recommend!
  • Great travel app!

    A great way to do a self guided tour of Maui. Made excellent recommendations about things to do and see. The fact that it connects via gps and can give turn by turn directions was really helpful. Fun to hear some stories on the return trips- a little cheesy sometimes but definitely entertaining.
  • So helpful! Audio timed very well!

    We went on the Road to Hana in early March 2025. I got this app the day before and we just loved it! The narrator has a great voice that keeps your attention, but doesn’t cause you to get drowsy. The information is a variety of practical info, modern stories, and history. The music in between is suited to the area, and not obnoxious to listen to. A very well made app. It was so useful to have the guide tell us about upcoming stops and why we might be interested, but also what the next possible stops will be so we could make our choices. Most of the historical information was saved for the road back, which was interesting and helped pass the time.

    I usually don’t write reviews but this app was soooo great and informative. This was my second time driving road to Hana and this time around I was able to appreciate the history of it (thanks to the app), the stops to skip, and the hidden gems we would have missed we would have done this drive on our own.
  • Huge value

    This guide is a must have ! We used it on our trip to Hana and we would have missed some cool stuff! He tells really interesting stories in between the stops so we learned a lot about the history. Very very cool!

    Really easy to use and great information. We downloaded this app to be able to see waterfalls and it did just that. As well as provide useful information for what waterfalls we could swim at and which we couldn't. Worth it!

    Overall, the app was very informative. I did experience the app disconnecting 8-10 times. I also experienced it skipping to the next sight before the narrative should have been done at our location. Being we were not in cell service during some of the route I was impressed that it knew where we were.
  • Fun and well done!

    My husband and I have driven the road to Hana many times, and this audio guide was still really fun to listen to and taught us new spots and stops. The guide is really well done – it knows exactly where you are and points out highlights along the way. Love that I didn’t have to look at my phone either. A good time for all, bruh.
