Volcano National park tour review
Great tour, very informative. Needed a little more direction for the sea arch.
AdamT90 | 7 months ago | iOSExcellent guide to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Great narration, directions, insight and advice. And fantastic value! Highly recommended.
Simon Bolster | 7 months ago | AndroidHonestly, 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! 😃

Think of us as your personal tour guide in an app. Our tours provide everything a guided tour does, but with the freedom to explore on your terms. Here's how it works:
- GPS triggers audio narration to play automatically as you drive or walk.
- Listen to stories, get local insights, visit must-see stops and get turn-by-turn navigation.
