Kauai GPS Driving Tours

This app was ideal for our Kauai vacation. The integration with GPS and turn-by-turn directions worked perfectly. And it would have been difficult to find some of the sites without them. We enjoyed the history and stories as we drove as well as the music interludes. The sites were well chosen and it was easy to skip some. We did the whole North shore - excellent. The canyon trip had to be cut short due to rain but also seemed very good. For us the trips took most of the day but we stopped for hikes and hanging out at all the beaches.

This app has been a great companion as we've taken some of our longer road trips to explore the island. Our daughter doesn't like time in the car, but she loves stories, so this app has been a lifesaver to make the road trips enjoyable for everyone. The fact that there are stories to and from the destination is a great feature. The app has encouraged us to get off the beaten path and has shown us some turn-offs to beaches that we would not have otherwise found. Note that despite what it may look like you don't have to do the trip in one day, or in any particular order. Our hotel was right in the middle of the North shore guide route, so we went North on one day and South the next.

Both tours are well worth the money. Without the North Shore tour we would never have seen Kahili Beach. Without the Na Pali tour we would have missed the Menehune Ditch (and wobbly suspension bridge). We learned about Hawaiian history, legends, customs, and pronunciation. We drove at our own pace and chose where to stop. The tours made our Kaua'i trip memorable.

Excellent App. Absolutely love it. Used the Volcano tour on Hawaii (Big Island) and north shore on Kauai. Really good with lots of hints and "not in the guide books" secret places. The stories/Hawaiian mythology are great when you're done with the tour. Love the guy who does the guide. He cracks me up!

This was a great experience using this app. I was not disappointed. At first I stopped every possible stop then realized the app picks the best stops and made it more time efficient. Downloading it so I could use it when I had no signal especially since I had no service in a lot of locations. I would like to see options to download maps of some hikes and degree of difficulty for each.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour! Loved all the talk story! We learned so much history! The only thing we'd like to see upgraded would be the music. There needed to be Hawaiian music playing when the tour guide wasn't speaking. Since we had our phone hooked into the car with the auxiliary cable, we couldn't play music on the radio.

Took the North Shore tour. Loved being able to sit back and not spend the ride with my head in the tour book navigating. Liked the stories and the music, but some of it is really cheesy, and the narrator congratulates you multiple times for following his instructions, so feels a little elementary. However, the guidance is great and we got to see some things I have never seen before. Overall would do it again! Planning to do the canyon tour later this week.

North Shore tour was great for us. We didn't plan a thing, but we had a great day full of beaches and activities. Saves the hassle of navigating and researching. Definitely worth the money! Thanks for providing this great resource for newbies who just want to get out there!

Absolutely loved it!! It was like having a private tour guide sitting in the back seat. The stories were fabulous and the sights magnificent. If you don't use these guides while visiting Kauaii you will have missed a great experience!! Congratulation on a FINE app.

I bought and used the Shaka Guide app to tour Oahu, and was very pleased with it, so I also bought the tours for Kauai. I installed, paid for, and opened the North shore tour before arriving on the island. However, once we got on the road, and no longer had any data signal, I discovered, to my dismay, that this version of the app requires registration and login in order to use it, even if it's already been purchased. So our plans to follow part of the tour while on the way to Princeville and kill the time until we could check in at the resort were pretty much trashed for us. Once I had data signal again, I was able to complete the registration and login, but this was pretty disappointing.

Used the app on Kauai, specifically Waimea and Na Pali. We enjoyed it and liked it a lot! We stopped at places that were off the beaten path. The history of the sites were presented as interesting stories. Had a little problem getting it started since we bought it midway on the tour. But, once started, it worked well.

The app is AWESOME. Well worth the 4.99. My wife and i just did the Waimea canyon and Napoli coast andvloved it. Lots of tidbits of info and good stopping points. Looking at doing the others for Kauai. Took sometime and a couple of restarts to download the map, but well worth the trouble.

It was amazing! The stories and historical facts made the time fly. We would have missed so much without it. I loved how the gps was intergrated within the program and it was easy to ignore things we didn't want to do.

Excellent app, great view points to see Waimea canyon and Na Pali coast the views were breath taking. We bought multiple tours from Shaka guide and enjoyed the history and the humor. Keep up the awesome work!

Great app, it would be even better if you had tour options like History Tour, Movie Location Tour....we took a movie location tour and this app would have been better and much cheaper! Recommended and my kids were talking like the guide all day. ...good times.

This was our first self guided tour in Kauai. This app is so cool! It helped us discover the canyon and it's trails. Loved the stories and the tour guide. Highly recommend it well worth the $ Thank you very much !

This app is awesome for anyone wanting to do a self drive tour of Kauai. Loads of local knowledge, off the main drag sightseeing, highly entertaining commentary. Purchased the 3 tours for GPS maps and tours. GPS spit on...app highly recommended!!

Several narrations on the north shore got cut off in the middle of talking to start taking about the next stop. I guess we were driving too fast for it to keep up? Seemed like we were going the speed limit. Overall an awesome tour.

The stories and background are great, as are the driving directions, but the writing could be a little tighter. Maybe trade a few jokes for more history and stories? We took the Waimea Canyon tour today. Looking forward to the north shore of Kauai tomorrow.

The app worked great. It was very entertaining and gave interesting facts along the way. I liked how the app would resume the tour based on our location. It made our drive very enjoyable.

Absolutely brilliant. At Waimea Canyon, this Aussie girl even taught Marty and Maryanne from Florida some of the finer points of the island. Pretty sure they wanted the app after that!

This app has a little of everything. Not only pointing out great stopping points, but including stories, history and even complimentary beverages at some fruit/juice stands along the way! Worth every penny!

Loved this app used it for Waimea Canyon tour.....learned history, legends of the islands, and stops we would have never seen or known about without the app. .great GPS on this app also...will use again

I really want this app to work, but for some reason it doenst. It says to turn on the volume but I have my volume turned all the way up and it still doesnt work. Any ideas??

We loved using this app! Works great. Made the trip very enjoyable. Learned a lot and enjoyed the stories.

As the person always responsible for finding all the routes, I enjoyed sitting back and letting the guided tours do the work for me. Worth the money!

4th time to Kauai saw alot more using this app. Alot of cool off the beaten path places I never even knew about. Awesome

It was perfection for our Kuaui touring. Looking forward to using the sister app for the Big Island visit coming up next week. Thank you.

This app was so much fun. We found some great places and heard some very interesting stories. I loved the music too!

This is a fun app for your own personal tour! We would of missed so many interesting places to stop at without Shaka!!

Well planned out - good production value as well with music, jokes, history and insight into various points of interest - did not know what to expect but it was like having a tour guide in your car with detailed insights on potential points of interest -

Great road trip champion. We would have missed so much without this app

Sometimes it wouldn't restart like it should and I'd have to manually exit the app and restart it and try a few times. Otherwise, it was awesome. We saw lots of places we wouldn't have otherwise.

Loved how well the guide was synced with our location, starting up as we approached points of interest, alerting us to turns and where to park, and providing entertaining background information.

Took the tour at our own pace. I only wish I would have found it earlier!

Excellent app. Would stop at the Mehnehune Ditch on the way and the Russian Fort on the way back. Easier to make right turns than left.

What a great way to explore the island of Kauai! Would recommend both Kauai tours - well worth the purchase. Mahalo!

Great app for Touring Kauai...not only gives directions and directs you to POI, but also provides history of Hawaii and some great music!

This application helped us find hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own.

I'm glad we used this app for our driving tours of Kauai. It was so informative and entertaining as well.
