Avoid the crowds and explore Big Island at your own pace! Self-guided tour audio narration plays automatically based on your locations with turn-by-turn directions!

Change the way you see the Big Island with Shaka Guide, the #1 rated Big Island, Hawaii app. Get all the benefits of a guided tour, but from an app! Along the way you’ll get directions as you drive, hear stories about the places you’re visiting, and listen to Hawaiian music. The app features five GPS driving tours of the island that visit popular spots like Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hilo, the Kona Coast, Waimea, Waipi’o Valley Overlook and Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, just to name a few!

All tours are made locally in Hawaii and include hours of audio narration that plays automatically as your drive. We’ll also share our favorite things to do on the Island of Hawaii as well as travel tips for your visit.

The app works completely offline. This means that even in remote parts of the island without wifi or data, we’ll still get you where you need to go! Shaka Guide tours never expire — use them more than once or break them up into multiple days.
