The app was super easy to use and we will definitely be using it again for another tour during our stay! Highly recommended!

I purchased two driving tours, one on Friday, March 8th, and one for Sunday, March 10th. The friday one was just terrible. Thought Sundays would be better, but not. I have been to Kauai before, so knew my way around some, and that was good, or I would not have found ANYTHING from the directions the tours were giving. I am officially requesting my money back.

What a great way to do this "tour" on your own time and at your own pace. Lots of info and legends are learned along the way, which makes it very interesting. We surely enjoyed it.

Terrible app!!!!First off it had us driving around the same block several times to get to the starting point which was in the middle of a random back road. It finally began directing us then after making two of the suggested stops it wasn’t clear where to go from there so we kept driving for about 10 miles with no direction so we turned around and it began directing again and led us back toward the starting point and it said “we have completed the tour, we hope you enjoyed this adventure”. Wait, what??? We just turned it off and googled where we wanted to go for the rest of the day. Don’t waste your money!

Learn how to operate the app before starting the route If you are going on a wrong path or direction it does not correct you

Unfortunately the foggy weather didn't work in our favor, however, we learned a lot of historical details about the area and surrounding communities from the app. We only had the one chance to visit the canyon and were unable to listen another time.

Good tour for the cost. Easy to follow and lots of great information. Maybe include a beach as a stop

Such a great self guided driving tour that we can take our time. The stories were fascinating and the directions were accurate. I also called customer service for technical help and they were helpful and friendly. I’m definitely gongs to use other Shaka guide tours.

Started the app in KaPaa area, based on prompts after downloading. It played music until we arrived closer to Lawai, the starting point. 1st stop it took us to a residential home address - very frustrating, since we didn't know where it was trying to take us. We finally found the Kauai Coffee Plantation, and went to that. No where near the residential address. We then proceeded from there towards Koloa and some other places along Hwy 50 and 56. Some of the historical background information about Kamehameha was interesting. We stopped at Hanapepe and a few other towns that interested that weren't on the route. It took us several times to turn at the correct road that would take us to Waimea Canyon. The app didn't direct us to the correct road until we were passed the turn... Once on the correct road we did get some more directions to stop at turn outs to take pictures, but only a few of the turn outs were marked clearly. So needless to say we didn't see the waterfalls, we did find the smaller loop trail, and we never found the actual park entrance area that we were supposed to pay for admission to. We did enjoy the scenery at the stops we did exolore, but this $20 spent really wasn't worth it for us. Sorry Shaka, not a good experience for us.

Excellent guide as you self drive to the canyon. The app allows you to stop more often than a structured tour and keeps you posted on time. Narrator was fantastic giving history as you drive with lots of humour- would definitely use again!

We thought the app made our trip really fun! We saw things I don’t think would’ve been on our radar otherwise. Loved the music as we are driving as well. Really well done.

We rented a car which was very easy to do. Picked it up 2 miles from port. Took a taxi there but the rental car (NU Rental) took us back to port. We drove to Waimea Canyon and then worked our way down the mountain. Most ports of interest were on Hiway 50W . Nice easy drive. Whole thing took about 2 1/2 hours.

Great guide to see a whole side of the island! Very informative. The only downside would be the Menehune Ditch and bridge was questionable. A sign saying “beware of dogs” was just across the bridge, so we didn’t make the whole trek. Lots of abandoned cars.

Mostly a quiet island. Stayed in 2 different locations. Near Kaapa and Waimea First honky tonk beautiful beach walking. Second quiet beautiful black sand beach not for swimming. Did Shaka tours. Lots of information and good directions Plantation train tour, Lydgate Farms tour and Kauai coffee tour. All 3 were good chocolate at Lydgate was the best

This self guided tour was the BEST!!! We even gave our tour guide a name, we called him Howard!! Haha! He was funny, informative and all around a great guide!! Will definitely use this again for another tour while here in Kauai!!

I've bought a few of these self drive tours while in the Hawaiian islands. They are fantastic!! They take all the thinking and effort out of touring on your own. You don't need to look up directions either, the narrator guides you via offline GPS the whole way! We were a larger group so we couldn't complete all the stops which was fine by us. But plenty to do and see.

We absolutely loved the guide! We learned a lot of history and the tour guide was funny even though it was virtual. This was definitely the best route to go because you could spend as much time or as little time are you wanted at each stop! Bring your snacks for your little ones and they’ll enjoy it as well!!

I wish we’d known about this when we did Road to Hana! It was good to have this guidance and we enjoyed the stories told. A little cheesy sometimes but it made the ride fun.
