Maui and Now Joshua Tree

Discovered Shaka four years ago when in Maui. Purchased the Road to Hana guide and it was outstanding. Loved it so much that we stayed on the backside of the tour. We’re in Palm Springs this week, and visited JTNP today. Last minute decision to purchase the Shaka tour for the park. Honestly made the trip much more enjoyable - and efficient. I can’t fathom why anybody wouldn’t use this guide for this particular NP. Thank you for a great day, and well not make the mistake of traveling without Shaka in the future!

Content excellent. Glitchy with Apple Car Play

We love Shaka Guides. Joshua Tree tour was excellent. We only did the Western to Northern loop. Wish we had more time to do the Southern entrance loop. Content, music, stories - all informative and interesting. The only thing was that the app did not pair well with Apple Car Play. It was glitchy. Every time the guide talked, it would switch to my phone. I had to pause and play for it to go back thru Apple Car Play. A little annoying. Overall an excellent tour. Can’t wait to do another one.
