We first found out about Shaka Guide before our trip to Maui a couple years ago. From our 10-year-olds up to our 18-year-olds and ourselves, we all really enjoyed the guide, commentary, etc for our trip to Maui. Fast forward to last summer and we went to Glacier national Park and my son said it would be cool if there was a Shaka Guide for here… i’m glad we looked because we bought that Parks tour and it was equally informative and entertaining. This morning, I purchased Big Bend National Park, we used it for the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive today and will use it again tomorrow in the park. This really is one of the best apps! The whole family loves it.

Absolutely worth it. Did the Shaka Maui tour and now we have done a Shaka tour for every California national park (BUT WE WANT ONE FOR PINNACLES PARK! Shaka, make one!!)

I downloaded the California bundle as I prepared to visit the Redwoods National Park and it was very helpful. As a newbie in the hiking trail, I really appreciated all the step by step directions through all 4 parks, as well as its suggestions of hiking trails. Make sure you listen to the tutorial before using the app. I will definitely look for their guides whenever I visit any national park!
