Canyonlands National Park Self-Guided Audio Tour

About this activity

Explore Canyonlands National Park with an app-based, self-guided GPS audio driving tour through the spectacular Island in the Sky District. There’s no in-person guide—your phone leads the way with GPS navigation, stories, travel tips, and directions as you drive.

Visit unforgettable stops like Mesa Arch, Green River Overlook, Dead Horse Point, and sweeping canyon viewpoints. Along the way, choose from optional hikes including Upheaval Dome and explore the park at your own pace.

Shaka Guide brings the landscape to life with stories, history, local insight, and music that plays automatically based on your location. Stop when you want, skip what you don’t, and spend as much time as you like at each destination.

One purchase covers everyone in your vehicle. Download the Shaka Guide app and tour before your trip; once downloaded, the audio and map work offline with no Wi-Fi or data needed. Your tour never expires, so you can explore whenever it works for you.
