Volcano National park tour review

Great tour, very informative. Needed a little more direction for the sea arch.

AdamT90 | 7 months ago | iOS

Excellent guide to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Great narration, directions, insight and advice. And fantastic value! Highly recommended.

Honestly, words fail me because this guide is ingenious!!! Cheers to the 🤙🏽 team for such amazing and fun way to tour places. I used it for my recent solo Oahu trip and drove through the East and North shore! From Uncle Shaka's brilliant narrative skills, jokes, stories, to the sites, views, highlights, background music, and all, My God! There was never a dull moment! I could drive all day! 😄😄 In fact, at different stops, I started encouraging folks to download the Shaka Guide app! 😃
