Great App. Made our stay in Kauai memorable
We used this app for self guided driving tours on our recent trip to Kauai after my husband paid a stupidly insane price for a 4 day rental of a convertible Jeep (so organized group tours were out of budget after that 😆). Turns out this was a great decision. We enjoyed exploring the island at our own pace and found so many hidden gems that you would never discover on your own or get to see on a big expense commercial tour. Highlights were the waterfall hike at Kapa’a stream and the Makauwahi Cave with the tour by volunteer Jerry. The kids actually really enjoyed listening to the commentary about the island especially the part about the historical wars between the islands. I will definitely download the app for the other islands if I get the chance to visit Hawaii again.
Best travel App ever
I bought the Shaka Kauai and Big Island tours for my recent trip. It was the best thing we did. The children loved the animated stories and the app made it so easy to see all the best places and learn a little about Hawaiian culture along the way.
Shakka Rocks
Ok so we just finished the Waimea and Na Pali tour! Huge day, left from Poipu @ 8am and back now at 5pm and we skipped Waimea town on the way back. The tour worked flawlessly and the info was great. We had a few issues the last few days trying to run it through the cars stereo but believe the problem to be a ford / apple problem. Great trip and you get so much info the trip adviser doesn’t give you. Well worth the money.
Lost all my purchases
Updated the apps and lost all my previous map purchases. Restore purchase function does not work. Apps crash without the update. What a waste of money!!!!!
Awesome app
I was a bit hesitant purchasing this as its relatively expensive as apps go however it was brilliantly-highly entertaining, very informative, great music, history and directions. It only glitched once where it was too late with a turn instruction, otherwise, I spent about 6 hours using it for an excellent day out on Southern Kauai
Fantastic way to discover the island
As a family of four we have done four Shaka Guide tours of Hawaii and they are great for the adults and children alike. I’d recommend them to everyone. Plan a bit more time than the actual time allocated to each tour though, a 3-5hr tour can easily take a whole day, in fact I don’t see how you could do it in 3 hours.
Great app
We loved this app. Easy and quick to download. So much interesting info. Just like your own personal tour guide.
Excellent
Thoroughly enjoyed this App. Great tour and wonderful information and also entertaining. Can't wait to use the other Shaka Guides on our other island visits.
Excellent way to see Kauai
We hired a car and used the app to do both tours. It's outstanding and such a great way to see the island without a formal bus tour. Much more flexible and very well narrated!! Well done
Overpriced
This guide is not as good as GyPSy guide, which unfortunately doesn't have a Kauai tour.
The speaker for this guide is a bit over the top and not funny when he tries to be.
