Your directions took us over one hour out of our way. The audio did not work in the park. .only wasted!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Aloha Elise,
We're truly sorry to hear your journey started with such a big detour and that the audio wasn't working for you in the park. That's definitely not the kind of experience we want for our 'ohana.
Because this tour was purchased through Viator, the quickest path to getting a helping hand or a refund is usually right through your Viator ticket. They're set up to help you with that right away.
But please, know that our 'ohana is always here. If you ever want to dive deeper into what happened, don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at aloha@shakaguide.com. We'd truly be grateful for the opportunity to connect and see what we can do to make things right.
Mahalo for letting us know,
Shaka Guide Support

Strongly encourage entry from the south side and travel north and then west one way; or the reverse- you'll see and be able to do the most in one day!
