Awesome Trip - Traveling with the Shaka Guide was easy and really enjoyable. We could stop in any stop we wanted. Directions were clear, stories were very interesting, we learn a lot about Hawai'i culture. We loved it. We did the tour in 6 to 7 hours but we did not stop in the beach to get wet, only to see. It may take longer if you plan to get yourself in the water. We have no problem whatsoever with conection to the car or audio, everything went very smooth. I even saw a huge turtle in the turtle beach, great experience!

Great overview of the island - Due to the recent Maui fires our trip was pivoted to Oahu. We didn't do any research before we traveled. Found this audio driving tour and decided to download. Since this gave a nice overview of many areas of the island we could decide what we wanted to re-visit later. The app was easy to use and the voice instructions were very clear and direct. We enjoyed the anecdotes and little history/stories along the way. Definitely worth it.

If you have a car, do this instead of booking a bus tour! - This audio guide is AMAZING! we visited all of the stops our hotel offered on a big bus tour, and got to stay at each as long as we liked. The tour is easy to follow and gives you turn by turn directions. The audio content was entertaining and we learned a lot about the Island. We purchased the bundle and also did tours on Maui, the big island and Kuai. All were excellent

App Not Flexible - The app was cumbersome to use. You have to follow the specified route in the specified direction. It is not flexible.

Bad. Frustrating. - I am traveling with my husband who is very electronic-savy. It directed us to Waikiki beach to start three times but would not start the tour. We tried calling for help and we’re met with voicemail . They didn’t get back to us timely enough.
