1.00Be sure you turn on all permissions to use this app. Including location Can't be just during use of app, but all the time. Otherwise it will not work, and they don't tell you that!!

5.00It was really great. We got fun facts on the rock formations and names mentioned. At one point, I said oh look at that it looks like elephants. And then the announcer said you’re coming up to the elephant parade. That was pretty neat. It was interesting to hear how the formations came to be. It’s amazing how it knew right where we were at, and when we were coming up to the next attraction and trailhead. I will definitely do this again now that I know what it’s all about. I would definitely recommend bringing a phone charger. My phone was charged, but my charger was not completely charged and I ended up with no phone at the end. It was fine because knew my way back.🤪
Great guide and the technology makes it easy!

5.00Excellent tour! Very easy to use and when you download it before you go in the park everything works perfectly without cell service which is spotty in the park. Great narration and the guide pointed out many interesting things that I would have missed without it. It was like having your own personal park guide riding in the car with you. Well worth it. Definitely will be buying more Shaka guides in the future. Wish I knew about them when we went to Yosemite a few years ago.

5.00My 2 sisters and I had the most amazing time at the Natural Arches Park. The self guided app was informative and guided us through a wonderful experience. I would recommend to tour/hike the park early in the morning to beat the crowds. Bring plenty of water, snacks, sunscreen, hats, or walking sticks. Some hikes are vigorous. Most important, take your time to take in the natural beauty. We are returning next year for our annual sister getaway and hike the trails we missed. A beautiful & gorgeous breathtaking experience.😁👍🏽
Excellent guide

5.00Highly recommend this. It was an amazing trip and learning about all the history of the park was so cool. I love that he talks to you as if he was just a friend sitting in the backseat, pointing everything out to you. We loved it. It made our trip so much more exciting and educational.. We would've never known what we were really looking at had it been for Shaka Guide.
So glad we did this audio tour!

5.00Got to use trip cash for the cost of this tour , but would have no regrets had I paid for it as well . Extremely easy to download the app and our tour . We found it so informative and helpful in making the most of our first visit to Arches N. P. It worked perfectly in the car as described. Recommend if you are like us and like to learn a bit more about the sights, not just look at them !

5.00We did the Arches National Park tour and the Canyonlands National Park tour. These were both amazing!!! We got all kinds of great information without being stuck in a bus with a bunch of rando strangers. We had a great time being able to see and do things at our own speed and have our own personal tour guide with great information and stories!!! I can't wait to plan my next trip using Shaka Guide!!!
