About this tour

Explore West Maui on your own terms, with island stories and GPS directions guiding the way. This self-guided audio tour takes you through historic Lahaina and the resort areas of Ka'anapali and Kapalua, then along coastal cliffs toward a striking blowhole. West Maui Self-Guided Audio Tour lets you set your own pace, pause for views, and choose which stops to explore.

Start in Kahului, Ka'anapali, or Kapalua, and finish where you began. The app plays narration automatically as you drive, sharing stories, travel tips, and Hawaiian music. An offline map and turn-by-turn GPS directions help you navigate without using data during the tour. You can take the tour whenever you like, and it never expires. Plan about 6–8 hours if you want to do all the activities; an early start is recommended. Keep in mind that some attractions charge admission, parking may be limited, and restroom stops are sparse. Download and redeem the tour in the Shaka Guide app before arrival, while connected to strong Wi-Fi or cellular data.

Skip the crowded tour bus and discover West Maui at a pace that feels like your own. Start planning your route and enjoy the freedom to stop along the way.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.13 from 15 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.3.
