Description
Change the way you see the Big Island 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 visit, and listen to Hawaiian music. The app features five GPS driving tours of the island that visit popular attractions, beaches, hikes, scenic spots, and cultural sites.
All tours are made locally in Hawaii and include 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Great driving app
We really enjoyed the volcano park tour- would recommend the app. Some of the information is not quite up to date as the lava flow has started again in a different part but a good guide nonetheless
Amazing App
We came to the big island as part of our 3 week honeymoon, came across this app on trip advisor so I thought I’d download it and see what it was like... safe to say this app is amazing, fun & really accurate. We did the volcano tour and the one around kona over 2 days, worth every penny. Loved the local knowledge, history and recommendations for places to go for food. A place to add to your food recommendations Annie’s on the big island.
I am just gutted we didn’t discover this app last week while we where at Honolulu. Can’t wait to come back to the islands and do some more tours.
Thanks for helping us make memories!

Trip Saver!
Our airline changed our flight at short notice leaving us with several hours to kill in Kona with use of a hire car. Having seen the app recommended online we paid for the guide for the area and set off on a leisurely drive taking in new scenery and new information. We even took one of the lunch recommendations which was perfectly timed on the commentary and was fantastic BBQ food. Saved on so much planning and researching routes to take!
