Oahu Grand Circle Island Self-Guided GPS Audio Driving Tour
Overview
Explore Oahu at your own pace with an app-based, self-guided GPS audio driving tour. There’s no in-person guide—your phone provides GPS navigation, stories, local history, and directions as you drive.
Follow turn-by-turn directions to scenic viewpoints, famous North Shore beaches, cultural sites, local food stops, and hidden gems.
Shaka Guide tours are created by real people who know and experience the destinations they guide, bringing Oahu to life through stories, history, and local insight. Stop where you want, skip what you don’t, and spend as much time as you like exploring.
One purchase covers everyone in your vehicle. Simply download the Shaka Guide app and tour before you go; once downloaded, the audio and map work offline as you drive."
