I loved this app! It was the best guide you could conveniently have for the Bog Island. Once I had it, I rest assured that I could head out and enjoy the island at our own pace. We enjoyed the music, story telling, history lesson as well as interesting facts along the road. We also really liked how it would let us know what to expect and if we may skip a location. shaka guide included many short cuts and tips on parking which was such a life-saver!

Great app that takes you places you'd never go on your own. We enjoyed it thoroughly and it saved us on days where plans changed at the last minute because it provided a full day that you can do on your own. The Hawaiian music in between stops is a nice touch but the best part is the numerous history points along the way that gives you background about certain areas that you wouldn't otherwise know if you were just plotting a tour to a specific location. The only thing that I think would make the app better would be to ensure that all loop trips can be played in both directions. Some of them allow multiple starting points and different directions but the ones that don't rendered the tours useless to us because it would have required us to vastly change our day to fit the starting point and direction. We had to manually hit each tour point in reverse to get any benefit out of those ones.

Mahalo for the review and suggestion Joel. Those are great points. We are developing new tours that would let users go in different directions to the tours already available now so please stay tuned! Don't forget to follow and tag us on your photos on social media @shakaguide #shakaguide
