I found the app a bit frustrating in the beginning because I had purchased the app months ahead of my planned vacation to Hawaii so I had time to familiarize myself; however upon arrival unto the island of Oahu I couldn't get the app to work correctly. I had the phone number for the company with me so I called only to discover they were closed on Sunday. So I left a message on their emergency line for help but no one ever called me back until 2 days later. That was very frustrating! I needed immediate help while I was on the circle island tour and no one was available. I found out that I had to delete the app and upload it again in order to get it to work correctly since I had purchased it so far ahead. Even though I had done an update I still had to delete the app and upload again. Once I did that the app worked fine. So after the beginning frustration it worked great and I would recommend it. We did the circle island tour, the walking tour of Honolulu, the North shore tour and used it whenever we were driving around the island. The stories you hear along the way are fun and entertaining. The GPS navigation is great; especially when you aren't familiar with the area. And the Hawaiian music sets the mood for the day of your adventure.

I would highly recommend using Shaka guides self driving audio tours. We used them for exploring the east and north shores of Oahu, and found it extremely user friendly, useful, informative and enjoyable. A great ( and economical) alternative to booking guided tours. I will definitely look for the Shaka guides for future destinations!

Looking forward to the tour. Downloaded the app but was not able to join the tour. I tried multiple locations. I was using an iPhone.

App is somewhat problematic if you want to start from the beginning of a tour already in progress. Once you figure out the ins and outs of how to navigate starts and tour changes (NOT intuitive), it's a good App. Needs some work on the GPS map rendering). By the third day I had most of the bugs figured out. Expect some frustration if you don't get it started the correct way first time out!!

The guide was easy to stop and restart on another point or at last point. It REALLY gave us guide to places that we had not been before. We lived in Oahu LONG time ago and this was great for us to just follow at our own pace and not have to get on a tour. The information given was great. Funny at times.

What a wonderful idea. This app guided us around Oahu, highlighting historical landmarks and guiding you to some of the most photogenic locations on the island. In-between points of interest, traditional Hawaiian music played, with a useful map guiding you from point to point.

These Oahu guides made our trip. They were so good, we then bought the Big Island tours for when we landed there.
They are self-guided, so we hooked the phone up to the car, and used AppleCar, so the map was showing and off we went. Directions were in good time, clear, and the information/stories were excellent. You can choose to stop at the various sights, or not, as you please. Plenty of places to stop and eat if you choose.
There were so many surprises and interesting places. The Waikiki walking tour takes you through hotel lobbies and explains the historical significance of each location. No normal tour would do that!
The highlight was being directed down a narrow pathway, from the back of a car park to a beach with Turtles resting in the sun. Magical.
The walking tour in the historical area was equally good.
Worth Every penny

I used the Kauai Shaka Guide back in February 2023. It did not disappointment. I recommended it to several friends. Now on my trip "home" (Oahu) I decided to purchase the Oahu package and take my friends around the island. Wow! I was really embarrassed.
We started with the North Shore tour. Coming from Kapolei, the tour didn't mention how many historical or scenic spots on the way to Mililani via H2. I had to do it. What did it miss? It didn't mention anything about the plantation towns we passed - Ewa & Waipahu. The sugar cane and pine apple plantations was a big deal back in the day and a large part of the island's history.
Heading into Haleiwa, it did not mention the history of the big circle at the beginning of town. On toward the north shore, it mentioned Waimea Bay but not Waimea Falls right across the street. It didn't mention why Shark's Cove got its name. Didn't mention any hiking spots like the Haleiwa Pill Box.
Really disappointed. We're going to give another 2 a try. Hope they'll be better

Excellent series. Explore the island on your own schedule without having to keep up with a group, and save hundreds of dollars besides.

A godsend for touring O’ahu! I planned our entire vacation around the information on these tours. The number one priority is to maximize your time on this beautiful island, and these tours allow you to do that. I had never been to O’ahu, and the daunting task of putting together an itinerary was made so easy with these tours. The tours are Informative and fun. The only glitch was that the rental car disconnected from my phone a couple of times, but as long as occupants in the car can still hear your phone, it works out. If your travel party does not like crowded, costly tour busses, this self-drive app is more than worth the $30 I paid for the bundle. I recommend listening to the tours you wish to take before going on your trip so that you can plan to buy tickets, etc. for stops you are quite sure you and your party want to make. Caveats: be sure you have a driver who is comfortable operating a vehicle in busy traffic! We are fortunate that my husband is a confident navigator. I also recommend having the tour on two phones to use when the phone battery on one phone is almost dead. Even plugged in to the car, a GPS will eat battery life quickly. An extra $30 to have the app on two phones is a small price to pay.
