LOVE this Guide!

We used the Shaka guide in Maui for the Road to Hana 8 years ago and loved it. So we decided to try it again for the Big Island. We did the North island jungle loop tour today. It was so informative, easy to follow, and we all loved it. Even my impossible to please 16 year old daughter mentioned how cool it is- she was so into it, and was listening to every word and wanted to stop at all the stops. It was a great guide, we had a great day! Can’t recommend this enough. I bought the BI package, and we will be using the other tours this trip as well.

Great Virtual Tour Guide

We bought the Shaka audio guide to the Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. It was a great experience. It was comprehensive and entertaining. We toured through the park and we had a better experience for having used it. The price was very reasonable.
