Great purchase!!!
Janine_B, Apr 2024
This was the best investment I made as part of my trip planning to the big island. It allowed us opportunities to see many places on the island that we would have passed without the guide. The stories shared on the tour is also something you don’t get from many guided tours. I can’t wait to try some of the other state tours.

Thank you for your kind words! Our team works hard to make sure that our app is user-friendly and efficient, and we're thrilled to see that our efforts are appreciated.
Don’t use if you’re on a solo trip or don’t have someone who can troubleshoot the app for you
Carolyn_H, Apr 2024
I was really excited to try this way of touring as it was economical and offered some flexibility. I would not recommend this option for solo travellers or if you are travelling with someone who can’t manage your cell phone by reading the map or instructions. Our first day was completely a write off unfortunately. We went to the starting point followed the instructions and was travelling through downtown Kona and skipped a couple of stops recommended to take pictures but when we made our first stop and got back on the road the app led us off track and in fact somehow we got to the end of tour after losing a couple of hours going in a circle. We tried again to pick it up from another point but it still had us confused. I was traveling with my daughter and she was not able to figure it out and since she couldn’t drive we had to abandoned the app and never used it beyond the first day sadly.

Would use again
Jessica_H, Mar 2024
Really positive experience with the app. Only negative is that we had a couple issues with the South Island Epic Coastal Journey and thought it was a bit too long, but the Volcano National Park Driving Tour worked just fine.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We're glad to hear that you find our app useful and easy to use. Our team is constantly working to improve the app, and we appreciate your support.
Better than five stars!
Lori_B, Mar 2024
This is honestly such a fantastic experience! Very much worth the nominal fee for all they curate for you. Rather than drive around aimlessly, the narrator provides historical information and tells you the must-stop-and-see items and those you could just drive by. Of the five tours, we did three and they were all done so well. It was just my husband and I and we loved the flexibility of pausing when we wanted and going at our own pace. We commented several times that we would take the time to leave a good review. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! You won’t be disappointed!

Your own personal tour guide in your car!
Ramon_J, Feb 2024
The Shaka tours are fantastic! Very easy to use, synced my phone to the car and we were all set! The narrator on the program was great, very interesting with a lot of information, stories and great advice. The turn by turn instructions made getting from one location to another location very easy and the on screen map showed you where you were at and where the next attraction was going to be. Using the phone GPS the program knew exactly where you were at, and you could jump into the tour at any location and everything would sync up perfectly. I highly recommend these tours to anyone visiting Hawaii, great to use if your other plans get rained out!

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to have you as a satisfied user of our app, and we look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.
My Bad
LORI_F, Feb 2024
The handicapped van we rented did not have auxiliary jacks. (Cigarette lighter only). Who uses those anyway.😳. I was going to plug my phone in once we got going. The uploading of your program took more than half of my power that was left. Our 1 day out and about on the island we heard about 7 minutes only Not your fault. But I’m out my $19
Response from Host, Feb 2024
I'm sorry to hear about the inconvenience you experienced with the handicapped van and the power issue during your day out on the island. I understand your frustration, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. While I can't directly address the van's equipment, we can offer a refund for the inconvenience. Your satisfaction is important to us.

Exhilarating and Amazing Views
Melissa_H, Oct 2023
Had a blast! My teenage kids loved it! And the views were Amazing!! The friendly staff were knowledgeable of the area. They made sure we had fun while keeping us safe! A great crew (and driver Alyssa)! Thank you, Kokoe and Zoe for showing us the "ropes", Lol.

Find new paths

I’m retired, so even with my old tech knowledge, I managed to download and follow instructions. Great narration leading me to paths I never would have traveled.

Helpful but glitchy
Maurine_J, Aug 2023
The historical information was fantastic and covered a lot of things. However, the app is a bit glitchy. We had to watch closely for signs because he doesn't tell you to turn until after the turn. Also stories seemed to randomly cut off and another one started. If you stray off the path it's difficult to get back to the tour. We liked the narrator's voice though and now refer to him as Hawaiian Daddy.

Great way to see and hear about the big island!
Dawne_W, Jul 2023
Loved this app! Was entertaining! Helped us navigate this beautiful island!! Only negative is that it took a little bit to understand how to work it!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
So happy to hear you had an amazing time on your Shaka Guide tour. Hope to see you all again on more Shaka Guide adventures. 🤙😍🤙
Much better than I thought
Joe_W, Jun 2023
Much better than I thought. They pointed out little details that there’s no way I would’ve caught. If those details were really important.

A Great Alternative
Cindy_S, Mar 2023
Great way to see the island at your own pace...plus the price is a bonus! We really enjoyed this tour as I was originally viewing local island tours in the range of $300+/pp. Not only are you at the mercy of the tour guide, we often feel like we stay much longer than we prefer at destination stops. The audio tour was informative and easy to use. Plus we skipped by the spots we had no interest in staying. Be prepared to travel for the alotted time that is indicated on the tour as it is pretty accurate.

Shaka Audio Tours Rock
Joanne_T, Mar 2023
We had rain for a few days and Shaka Tours was our ticket to get to sites, a car ride away. The audio tour narrator was knowledgeable and humorous. He shared great stories and I learned quite a bit of Hawaiian history. Most sites were nearby, with parking, so it was awesome, even in the rain. We did tours in full sun too and I have to say, stops were well worth the time and effort to see them. Lava tube caves, miles long. Waterfalls. Beaches. Historic sites. Volcanos. This has it all!
Great overview of the Big Island
Katie_F, Feb 2023
Great stories and history and suggests interesting places to visit. My partner enjoyed the dad jokes.
Excellent tour
Deb_W, Feb 2023
Our 3.5 hour road trip was more enjoyable with the music and history of the island. Every turn and point of interest was timed just right . Thank you!
Excellent
Amy_H, Dec 2022
These self guided tours were fantastic. Liked how flexible they were, the added information for restaurants and what to spend time on and what not to. Two suggestions: you need to give more notice on upcoming turns and maybe offer landmarks to look for the turns. Second, the south island tour is too long. You should take Kona and the beaches before Kona out of it. Definitely so not include the volcanoes in the south island tour. There's no way of doing the whole tour in a day. Otherwise, this was the first time using the app and thought it was fantastic.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Mahalo for your feedback. We are continuously updating the app based on user feedback to make the experience better and your input is greatly appreciated as it is very helpful to us.

Very fun and relax driving tour guild.

Easy to use but still be careful about when to exit to point of interest. Sometime it can come up sooner than expected.
