This was a fantastic way to see the sites, get lots of background knowledge, know where the bathroom stops are and all the "extras" such as recommended hikes, spots to eat, etc.

We never could get it to work. Was very disappointed in it. I wish it would have worked. The idea was great just didn't work on my phone

I'm sorry to hear you were not able to enjoy your Shaka Guide tour. Did you follow the steps listed in your booking confirmation and download the Shaka Guide app and tour onto your phone? Wish you would have contacted us at that time so we could have helped you set up the tour properly and help you if you were having trouble. Kindly email us at [email protected] to tell us more about what happened and so we ca help you get a refund from TripAdvisor/Viator.

This was a great way to experience the island on your own! It was a long day but you have the option of making all the stops or just the ones that interest you most. The only suggestion I would make is that I would have liked the hours of stops included as we had a couple of places that had just closed. This was a bargain and very informative.
