    Beautiful Yosemite

    Theresa_S, Jun 2026
    The driver/guide was very informative and knew his stuff. You’ll see most of the beautiful things that this country has to offer.

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Aloha Theresa, We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your trip. We'll be sure to pass the compliments along to our narrator—he loves hearing that his stories and insider knowledge made the drive feel like you had a local expert right there with you! Mahalo for letting us join you on the road, and we can't wait to ride shotgun with you on your next big adventure! With warm aloha, Shaka Guide Team 🤙

    Best Redwoods Tour!

    DeniseandTim_K, May 2026
    This was the perfect tour through the Redwoods for us and our 2 friends from Oregon! Self-paced, full of great information, and it followed and guided our drive the whole time. Very reasonably priced, we are so glad we did this! Highly recommend!

    Very disappointing

    Lisa_P, Apr 2026
    I was excited about booking this experience thinking it would really enhance my trip. Imagine my disappointment to find that the GPS function did not work at all. I will admit that I'm not the most techy person in the world but I'm not without some skills. This tour started out just fine. My first stop it worked like a charm. I found the information provided to be educational and interesting. Unfortunately after my first stop the wheels fell off. The guidance kept telling me that my tour was over no matter what I did ... restarting, resetting my location etc. I found it to be frustrating and a complete disappointment. I'm very sad that this did not work as advertised.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Aloha Lisa, Mahalo for sharing your honest experience. We are incredibly sorry about this experience. You shouldn't have to fight with technology when you are trying to enjoy the beautiful redwoods. We really aim to make sure everyone gets to experience the aloha we share, and we're concerned that this wasn't your experience. Since you snagged your tour through Viator, the best and quickest path to help or a refund is usually right through your Viator ticket. 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

    Mighty Redwoods

    Michael_S, Nov 2025
    We download the tour prior to getting to the Redwood National Park and glad we did. The signal strength was spotty from our carrier we thought the audio tour was very well produced and hit the mark on various key points!

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thanks so much for sharing your experience — we’re really glad to hear you downloaded the tour beforehand and that it worked well even with the spotty signal out in Redwood National Park. That’s exactly why we design all tours to work fully offline. Happy to hear the narration and key points hit the mark for you! Safe travels and hope to join you again on your next adventure. 🤙

    Worth the effort!

    Gary_B, Jun 2025
    The guide experience was great. Getting to our location was a little weird, but we figured it out and it was great.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Mahalo for the kind words! 🌺 We're so glad you enjoyed the guide and had a great experience overall. Sorry to hear getting started was a little confusing, but we’re happy you figured it out and everything went smoothly from there. If you ever need help with setup in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here for you!

    When there's no wifi

    Heidi_W, May 2025
    Although my park experience was great, I couldn't use the Viator app since there was no wifi this doesn't work.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    Sorry to hear the Viator app didn’t work without Wi-Fi. Shaka Guide is built specifically for offline use—just download your tours over Wi-Fi before you head out, and our GPS-triggered audio will play seamlessly without any service. If you need help downloading or setting it up, let me know!

    Great Information and Guide

    MaryJane_D, Apr 2025
    The guide was great and you can break it up or click on different information for the areas you are in. Very helpful and great education.

    Response from Host, Apr 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you found the guide helpful and educational — and that the flexibility made it easy to explore at your own pace. 🌺 Safe travels and hope to join you on your next adventure!
