What people are saying about Haleiwa

The narrative was great and the points of interest an excellent mix. This experience is a long day but worth it. We had trouble starting at the starting point as there was nowhere to park so we could get the app / navigation going so we ended up missing the first 12 narrations but it was ok as they were mostly navigation.

Definitely recommend. I should have downloaded earlier and pre-planned to take advantage of the app even more. We got to tour the whole island and learned about culture and scenic spots that we would have not known otherwise. Music was great and so was the guide! Made the trip worth it.

Love this app!!! Shakra was one of the best parts of our trip to Hawaii!!! We love to go off the beaten path on our time & this app was the perfect companion!!! Can’t wait to see if future travels in other parts of the world have it available!!!

Very great for a solo trip. I was able to tour the entire island of Oahu before my flight at noon! This app saved my trip!

super informative. seen a lot of the island by using this app!
