ROAD TO HANA ADVISORY:
There is only one road into and out of Hana. People who live in nearby communities have to drive this road everyday and the thousands of daily drivers on this one-lane highway greatly impacts their lives. Please be respectful — do not park illegally, pay attention to signs, drive responsibly, and pull over to let locals pass. Do not enter private property or visit sites that are unsafe. And, please remember to pick up your trash.

All Shaka Guide tours come with customer support and a satisfaction guarantee. Tours never expire.

This tour was the highlight of our visit! I stopped at places I never knew existed and saw so much more using this app. We found the tour guide informative and humorous. The music had to be paused a few times as it was a bit much, but other times, the music was thoroughly enjoyable. I was impressed how the tour kept up with us, even with no phone signal in the park. I highly recommend this app and will use it again when I get the chance.

Best travel app!

We tried out a qday in Hawaii and it completely transformed our trip to Kauai. We ended up doing all of the driving tours on the island. Our 6 year old son, kept asking “Can we turn on the Shaka tour yet?” The whole family loved it! We were thrilled to see more tours in the contential states!

Great content. However, bad timing which results in easily missed checkpoints. Stops auto-play consistently while using GPS. Be sure to monitor the app to play the upcoming stops so you have time to find a parking spot.
