Description

Change the way you see Maui with Shaka Guide. Get all the benefits of a guided tour from an app! Along the way, you’ll get directions as you drive, hear stories about the places you’re visiting, and listen to Hawaiian music. The app features six GPS audio tours of the island, including three ROAD TO HANA tours — the Classic, Loop, and Reverse! Each Shaka Guide tour visits popular attractions, beaches, hikes, scenic spots, and cultural sites. All tours are made locally in Hawaii with hours of audio narration that plays automatically as your drive. The app works completely offline. This means that even in remote parts of the island without wifi or data, we’ll still get you where you need to go! Shaka Guide tours never expire — use them more than once or break them up into multiple days. Change the way you see Hawaii with Shaka Guide! Check out the Maui tours below.

  • Fun and well done!

    My husband and I have driven the road to Hana many times, and this audio guide was still really fun to listen to and taught us new spots and stops. The guide is really well done – it knows exactly where you are and points out highlights along the way. Love that I didn’t have to look at my phone either. A good time for all, bruh.
  • Must Get!

    If it’s your first time traveling to Maui and you plan to make the drive to Hana, this app is a must! The tour guide simplifies the entire process - it also includes restroom spots and plenty of food stops.
  • Not the best audio tour

    This audio tour has a great deal of blank time that is filled with the same music over and over. It also must be done in numerical order, where other apps do not require this. Lastly it takes you along the coast on Rt 30 to 340. This is a narrow road, with several dozen spots that are one lane only, very limited and typically no guard rails on cliff edges with elevation of at least a thousand feet, and hair pin switch backs for over 10 miles. This is not a road for tourists and no app should ever send someone to this road for the sake of “fun”. It is extremely dangerous! Reveal Maui is a much better app than Shaka, but that one.
  • Loved it-Maui!

    It was a great experience! We loved the music and stories of history that made our drive entertaining. It’s awesome that it was usable offline, and we learned about stops that we otherwise would have missed. It is customizable to what you feel like doing in the moment. We got the Classic Tour Road to Hana guide, and it was totally worth it!
  • Super helpful, but has some hiccups

    I downloaded this app after we got to Maui and before doing much research on the road to Hana. Ended up purchasing the 6 package deal. It ended up being very helpful because on our first day we were only able to do half of the road to Hana. We decided to do a second day starting with the reverse road to Hana. And also used it for some of the West Maui trip that we took. We found a lot of the stories and information very interesting and helpful. There are a few problems with the app though - 1. you can turn off the background music, but it won’t automatically default back to whatever music you were originally listened to (I would have to go back to Spotify myself to replay music) 2. The CarPlay integration isn’t the smoothest (ie. arrow for the direction of the car is driving when you have it in CarPlay doesn’t actually orient to the actual direction the car is going). Overall worth the cost and was helpful though! Would recommend.
  • Incredible!

    If you’re debating getting a guide to go with your road to Hana drive this one is worth it! The tour is planned out perfectly with music in between stops and a ton of history there and back. Totally worth the money!
