Great app! Well worth the price!

Randy_S, May 2024

This app was awesome! The guide was both informative and humorous! We saw parts of the island we would have never encountered without this app. The Waimea Canyon was the highlight of the tour! It took a little to get it working, but once we did, it worked great! I am going to recommend this app to all my friends!

Response from Host, May 2024

We're delighted to receive your positive feedback! Our team works hard to create the best user experience possible, and it's always gratifying to see that our efforts are paying off.

Excellent Self Diriving Tour

Michael_H, Apr 2024

The audio tour was extremely accurate in directions to each stop. The narrative was informative along the way. We saw some stops that were out of the normal tour that a tour bus could not get to that was breathtaking beautiful

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Mahalo for your review! We are glad that you had a positive experience with Shaka Guide. Don't forget to tell all your friends about it and follow us on social media @shakaguide to share your Shaka Guide experience 🤙😍🤙

Well crafted app

Dennis_A, Mar 2024

Shaka takes us to places we wouldn’t go to. The commentator sounds just like Kacy kasin and we love all the little tid bits. We geocache along with the driving and it works out great. I could recommend this app to everyone. Well worth the money.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for your positive review! We're glad that you're finding our app useful and easy to navigate, and we appreciate your support.

Great tour guide!!!

Scott_W, Dec 2023

GREAT VALUE ! ! ! Shaka’s tour guides are very good. We bought four-tour bundle of Kauai Island and used all four. They guided us to really cool, obscure vistas and walks. And it was full of stories and legend insight. We had ridden bus tours in the past and never experienced such great info mixed with so many frequent stops. And the flexibility of such a “pausable” tour is perfect.

smart phone app works as promised

Larry_T, Nov 2023

We are frequent visitors to Kauai. For the first time, we bought and used this app for Kauai. It guided us to worthwhile places we did not know about, and gave some island history that was new to us. App tracks your location and gives directions and commentary relevant to your location.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for taking the time to write a positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying our app and we hope that it continues to meet your needs.

Confusing to use

Jacki_E, Sep 2023

Couldnt get it to work so didn’t end up using it. We just did the tours on our own. Needed a password to get in and didn’t understand how to get it.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Mahalo for providing your valuable feedback. We're sorry to hear you seem to have not enjoyed your Shaka Guide tour. Please reach out to us at aloha@shakaguide.com to provide us a more detailed briefing of your experience and email us a copy of your receipt so we can help you get a refund on your purchase

Everybody should do this!

Elizabeth_K, Sep 2023

This app is a fantastic idea!! Allows an experience similar to booking a tour with guide, but let’s you go at your own pace, stop when & for how long you wish. This ranks as one of our top three favorite things we’ve done on Kauai!! We are anxious to try other locations! Everybody should do this.

Our honeymoon

Gayl_W, Sep 2023

The audio bundle took us to many hidden gems. It did have some glitches, but we'll use it again when we return.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

traveling the island of Kauai

bpuls63, Aug 2023

helped us to see more of the island then we would have driving around on our own. The directions were really well done and the info provided about each stop was both interesting and entertaining.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Great tour, added so much to our vacation!!

Linda_K, Jul 2023

Seeing all the beautiful locations throughout the island that we otherwise would have missed. Learned a lot as we went also!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We're delighted to receive your positive review! We're always striving to improve our app, and your feedback helps us to know that we're on the right track.

Loved to learn and see Kauai!

Dawne_W, Jul 2023

This app was a great way to see the island of Kauai and learn some interesting stories! The only reason why we didn't give 5 stars is that the app is a little hard to use.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Aloha! Thank you for your kind feedback. We are reviewing this and several other suggestions for future updates.

Informative at MY pace

mark_h, Jun 2023

Informative at MY pace. App is filled with nice information about many aspects of these tours. And much more tolerable than an “analog” tour director!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Mahalo for the awesome review. Don't forget to tell all your friends about Shaka guide and let them know they are missing out on the best Aloha experience 🤙😍🤙

Waste of money

Joseph_S, Jun 2023

Can’t get this thing to work after I entered the redemption code. I had the same problem a year ago at Joshua Tree Park. Doubt I will ever use it again.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for your feedback. We’d like to know the details of the problem you mentioned so we can pass it along to our development team and see if there is any way we can improve it. Please send the details to aloha@shakaguide.com and include a copy of your receipt so we can help you get a refund on your purchase.

Definitely a must do!

Karen_L, May 2023

We truly enjoyed these self guided driving tours. Such a great way to see & learn about all the beauty of Kaua’i.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

We're very happy to hear we've helped you enjoy your Hawaii vacation. Mahalo for your 5 star review! 🤙😍🤙

Amazing

Helen_B, May 2023

The tours and guide were amazing. We enjoyed listening to the music and stories. It gave a greater appreciation for the Hawaiian cultures. Here is a tip: download your tour before you go when you have wifi.

Great Driving Tours!

Gregory_B, Mar 2023

Great driving tours that pointed out historical sites, hidden beaches, good restaurants and told stories of the island. Entertaining and informative!

Response from Host, May 2023

Mahalo for your review! Please recommend Shaka Guide to all of your friends, and don't hesitate to shoot us a note at aloha@shakaguide.com if you have any questions or suggestions.

Waterfalls!

Joanne_T, Mar 2023

Waterfalls, waterfalls, waterfalls! That is my favorite part of this Shaka Kauai tour. A lot of the hiking was muddy due to all the spring rain, and we needed a shower and a washing machine after getting to our condo, but the views of “sleeping giant “ were amazing. Waimea tour was excellent. You can’t go wrong!

Lemme talk (very postive) story …

marc, Mar 2023

Love this!!! Did 3 of the 4 Kauai tours and this is great for these reasons: - Love being able to go at our own pace including starting and stopping when we want (no more “LET’S GO otherwise we’ll miss our bus!”) - Also the GPS automation means it goes at your pace as well and they did a nice job telescoping the directions. - Reasonably certain that we went some places a formal tour wouldn’t (e.g the small history museum at the Moana Surfrider Hotel in Waikiki - we did a few Oahu walking tours as well) - Narrator was fun. Couple of suggestions - They might want to give more history dates when talking history. - I think I did go off route at one point and would be nice to have a “nudge” saying “hey see you’ve left the tour route. That’s cool but just wanted to check in” or something like that. Highly recommend. This is a GREAT use of a smart phone and hope you add even more locations

Bad and frustrating experience

Patricia_R, Feb 2023

Took forever to get loaded. We did not enjoy this because it doesn't tell you when you need to turn on a different road and the speaker did not tell about places we went by. We quit it after 30 minutes because we were frustrated.
