Hawaii GPS Audio Travel Guide

Road to Hans is long, narrow, with no gps and cellar signal. Without this app, the drive to and back would have been unbearable, let alone impossible. Shaka guide give you the map, driving directions, road stop suggestions and music and stories about Maui along the way. Highly recommended.

Used the Shaka app for the Classic Road to Hana. This was so informative but also in an enjoyably entertaining way! Would have missed so much without it. Highly recommend!!

This app was such a pleasant surprise. We decided last minute to try the road to Hana and figured we could turn around if it wasn’t our cup of tea. We were hoping just to identify a few good stops along the road to Hana, but we spent almost 10 hours totally hooked on the full tour experience! The narrator had us cracking up laughing the whole time, shared interesting Hawaiian history, and also provided such good insight into what each stop entailed, allowing us to decide where we wanted to prioritize. We saw the most beautiful views all along the road and to our own surprise, followed the tour all the way to the seven sacred pools before turning around at 5pm. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wants to drive the road themselves - gives you all the knowledge you need with the independence to pick and choose what you want to experience most. To me this far surpassed any van tour we could’ve paid hundreds for. We did this on a whim, started at 10:30am and had an incredible, fulfilling and fun day thanks to the classic road to Hana tour!

4 out of 5 stars only bc the narration on the way back was all historical to Hawaii. The info is valuable however on the way to Hana we had to skip a handful of stops to make our 10am reservation to the Black Sand Beach. That was as far as we were going. Would have been great to have an option for stops on the way way back. We kept the narration on the way back but the info on stops (that we missed on the way there) were not discussed. Overall great app. I do recommend doing some research on the stops you definitely want to make before the trip bc not all are must sees for all families. Def recommend app

The ONLY app for taking the most popular trips on Maui! Everything is expertly organized and we felt we wouldn’t have enjoyed both the Road to Hana tour and the sunset drive to the summit with light this app. I thought the time figures were a best guess but both time we were within 30 min of the recommended time for the tours. Even though the narrator and company are local to Hawaii (which makes them even more special) we are hoping they explains to other national parks and popular drives because they are just too perfect! We saw and experienced pieces of each trip I really don’t feel we could have planned with the best effort. Give it a shot and trust the man! He is a local and understands better than any visitor guidebook!

Don’t go to Hana without this guide, you will miss so much! We loved learning the history between stops and the music. You won’t have cell signal on the way to Hana so the first time we did this without the guide we couldn’t look anything up on our own and missed most everything.

Our family wanted a way to see Hawaii and our taxi recommended the road to Hana. A local told us about the the Shaka Road to Hana Driving Tour and we were swept away with the soothing voice, local music, and elaborate plan for our drive. The history on the way back added a perfect ending to a phenomenal day.

We listened to several of the Maui tours, and they were only OK. I think there could’ve been a lot more interesting information about the history and possibly science of the locations. One of the biggest issues we ran into was that the guide would regularly be cut off as we reached the next location before the guide was done with the last location. Also, quite a few of the locations just say which direction to turn.

Excellent narration to guide and keep the drive engaging. Worth the price!
