    We are glad we did this tour. It guided us to areas that we wouldn’t have otherwise seen. We liked the casual pace with a self guilted tour. We found the ‘Ioa Valley to be so beautiful. We stopped at the Kepaniwai Park. Such a beautiful little park next to a babbling brook.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and got to explore places like ʻIao Valley and Kepaniwai Park—such serene and special spots! The beauty of a self-guided tour really is being able to go at your own pace and discover hidden gems along the way. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

    Don’t do it

    Lynne_J, May 2025
    Can I give this ZERO? Horrible. Can’t download the app even though we purchased it. Can’t get ahold of customer service. Total waste of money.

    Response from Host, May 2025

    We're really sorry to hear about your experience—that's definitely not what we want for any of our customers. We’d love the chance to make things right. Please reach out to us at aloha@shakaguide.com with your tour purchase receipt and we’ll help you get access to your tour or issue a refund if needed. Mahalo for your patience!

    Driving in paradise

    Driving along a narrow windy road was a little tense but the view was spectacular. Very informative narration.

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Mahalo for the awesome review. Don't forget to tell all your friends about Shaka guide and let them know they are missing out on the best Aloha experience 🤙😍🤙

    Great tour if West Maui

    Mario_C, Jun 2024
    Family and I had a great time with this audio tour. We have 16 year old twins who were following along the whole time and also enjoying the stories and information. If I had to pick on one thing that would make this better. There were a couple of times where the announcement for the turn or parking spot came right at the moment when you needed to stop. This is driving at regular speeds or even slower than posted speeds as some areas of the roads require reduced speeds. So a better heads up as to where the turns or parking spots are would make this tour that much better. Will definitely keep an eye out for more Shaka guide tours.

    Thank you for your positive review! We're glad that you're finding our app useful and easy to navigate, and we appreciate your support.

    Once we figured out how to get our rental car to show the map and relay the voice thru the stereo 😂😂 we were set to go. The information was great and were even given tips on where to park and alternate parking spots. The GPS and guide always picked back up after we made a stop.

    Response from Host, May 2021

    So happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your Shaka Guide tour. Mahalo for your review and hope to see you all on more Shaka Guide adventures! 🤙😍🤙

    Not a good experience

    Montien_L, Apr 2021
    Ir was very difficult to navigate or learn to use. Wished we'd taken a real tour of Maui instead of using this tool. Next time we'll use a tour guide

    Response from Host, Apr 2021

Can you tell us more about what you had difficulty with on your tour?Please email your experience at aloha@shakaguide.com

    Great app for exploring western Maui

    ELAINE_W, Feb 2020
    This app was excellent. We never would have seen some of the sites if this app had not told us about it. We started at Kaanapali & went all the way around western Maui. It took us about 5 hours & we did not do all the stops. Be warned- the northern coastline is VERY windy with one lane roads & hairpin blind curves. But the scenic views are AWESOME!!! Go early in the day. We started at 10:00 am. Don’t try this late in day!! The commentary was great and you can stop the tour when you get out of your vehicle. We dropped our tour audio several times but it was easy to pick up where you left off. It is downloaded so you do not need internet but gps is very helpful to see where you are. Glad I spent the $10!! Mahalo!!
