Beautiful hoodoos! Very unusual scenery.

Operator response

Aloha, Goblin Valley really does feel like another planet in parts. Short review, but I know exactly what you mean. Those hoodoos make the whole stop feel weird, fun, and pretty unforgettable. Mahalo for exploring with Shaka Guide 🤙

I had never used a self...

I had never used a self guided tour. I thought it was a little awkward. The information provided was helpful. I hadn't turned it on at the beginning & I think we missed some things.

Operator response

Aloha! Mahalo for giving Shaka Guide a try for your first self-guided tour. It can feel a little different at first, but we’re happy to hear the info was helpful along the way. For next time, we recommend starting the tour at the very beginning point so you don’t miss any stops or stories.
