This app was awesome! The guide was both informative and humorous! We saw parts of the island we would have never encountered without this app. The Waimea Canyon was the highlight of the tour! It took a little to get it working, but once we did, it worked great!
I am going to recommend this app to all my friends!

The audio tour was extremely accurate in directions to each stop. The narrative was informative along the way. We saw some stops that were out of the normal tour that a tour bus could not get to that was breathtaking beautiful

First up, the concept is great and when it worked it was fantastic. Loads of useful information, interesting stories - just what you'd hope for from a first rate guide on a private tour. The Shaka Tours narrator is a little hokey (which took a little getting used to) and it was a relief when we figured out how to turn off the background music. There's only so much ukulele music you can take. I have nothing but praise for the information and tales provided.
BUT using the apps was a fingers in the eyes, frustrating experience.
1 - Mostly the tours run only one way, So, if you are staying in Lihue with a first slot of the day visit to Limahuli you can't run the tours clockwise. So annoying. I feel that this is the makers cheaping out. The content would be the same, it just needs running as a pair of apps. (Manually running the buttons was awful because many steps are a leading on to the next stop so it gets confusing really quickly.)
2 - Where you have crossing or looping tours the app gets confused and will flip you between legs. Wildly confusing as right becomes left and as you are 'trusting' the app you can quickly be baffled. On day one we learned to run Google maps on our other phone so we knew when we'd been sent wrong. The method of previewing the route is awful. Hard to get into, and zooms in and out depending on your activity state.
3 - The turn instructions are really dicey. They rely purely on GPS location (it would seem) so you get something like 'Turn right here" - which if you are on a 50 mph road in busy traffic may not be safe or practical. And keep in mind it will at times flip left with right as it seems to lose track of your direction. And joining the tours (we used 8 in our two week vacation) never worked once. Both these issues would be easily solved by just adding a little more information - it knows where you are - so, saying "Turn right just ahead by the mailbox (or whatever)" or join the tour at a fixed place - "Start the tour outside Safeway (or whatever)" would be so much easier.
So, it it worth it. Yes. Would we buy it again. Yes - we bought one as a trial, then the rest of the bundle, then bought the Big Island bundle.
Could it be better - oh, boy, it sure could. Bring your patience.

Shaka takes us to places we wouldn’t go to. The commentator sounds just like Kacy kasin and we love all the little tid bits. We geocache along with the driving and it works out great. I could recommend this app to everyone. Well worth the money.

This (Kauai 4 tour Audio Driving Bundle) was the best $30 I have ever spent on vacation.
Instead of driving aimlessly relying on word of mouth or travel books, a charismatic “Shaka Guide” showed us great views and obscure interesting sights efficiently & entertaining. Even the music was great. We recommend it highly.

GREAT VALUE ! ! ! Shaka’s tour guides are very good. We bought four-tour bundle of Kauai Island and used all four. They guided us to really cool, obscure vistas and walks. And it was full of stories and legend insight. We had ridden bus tours in the past and never experienced such great info mixed with so many frequent stops. And the flexibility of such a “pausable” tour is perfect.

We rented a camper and downloaded the driving tours to explore Kauai. We were highly impressed at the quality and depth of the narrative, the bridge music, and suggestions offered. We had a few issues getting started with the download but found live, courteous help easily though the app. It was overall easy to use and enhanced our short driving trip greatly. We learned so much about the history, geography and sites to see from this driving tour. Highly recommended.

We are frequent visitors to Kauai. For the first time, we bought and used this app for Kauai. It guided us to worthwhile places we did not know about, and gave some island history that was new to us. App tracks your location and gives directions and commentary relevant to your location.
