5.00Outstanding narration, music, technical (ease of use). Will definitely us Shaka Guide for future trips.
Perfect!

5.00This was awesome! It worked almost perfectly! We had no signal or WiFi for much of our time in the park and the app guided us on the map, gave us directions, information, & stories. I’d highly recommend this to anyone looking to go to this park. The only problem was that it was playing a couple times, but I heard no sound. I think it was the car’s Bluetooth though, not the app. Be sure to plug in your phone! It eats up the battery while running.
Fantastic app

5.00Fantastic experience. Loved that it tracked by gps so you could skip things if you like. Stops were all great choices. I liked that it also gave you history, folklore, and tips on places to eat. Easy to follow directions.

Worth Buying

4.00The narrator is a little late announcing turns and the info about Cape Flaherty is wrong and really should be included in the tour. A special permit costing $20 can be bought on the way there and the short hike to the cliffs overlooking the ocean are incredible. Otherwise, we enjoyed the narration and stories included.

5.00Beautiful Scenery. Went to several of the stops along the way. Enjoyed the self guided audio tour with the highlights of each location, stories of the areas a fun experience and drive. A long drive back from the last point of interest but was a great time
Needs work to be useful

1.00I would like the app to download all offline maps for the complete itinerary - automatically. I would like to select a subset of the trip & keep it. Every time I leave the app to take a call or a txt, it resets. I have to reload all my routes & maps. And if I have no Internet, which is normal, I lose my map. Nearly a waste of time. Do not recommend.
Amazing tour!

5.00We really enjoyed the Olympic National Park tour! It gave great tips for navigating crowds, estimating hike difficulty and the length. The tour allows you to join at any point, provided fun stories and key information about where you were and turn by turn directions for how to get to spots. As well as information and advice for suggested choices along the way depending on time and interests. I will check for audio tours from them for my future travels. I highly recommend this tour!
