Overview

My name is Christian, and I am a native Hawaiian student at the University of Hawaii studying culture, language, history, astronomy, geology, and oceanography of the Hawaiian islands. The culture and ways of these islands is one of fun, adventure, love, family, sustainability, and I believe it will save the world. I will be guiding you through the fauna and beauties of the national park, exploring the trails and lava formations, and teaching you about Kīlauea, its rain forests, endemic Hawaiian birds and the Hawaiian culture that has lived in harmony with this land. As darkness falls and the stars emerge from the heavens we will travel the path of Keanakakoʻi on Kīlauea. On the path we will be engulfed by the beauty of volcanic ecosystems and arrive at a cliff to see inside Halema'uma'u and its growing lake of lava/ Hawai'i is truly alive. Hawaiʻi is truly alive.

Itinerary

  • Kilauea Volcano

    This Hawaii immersive experience takes place in Hawaii volcanoes national park! I will be guiding you through the fauna and beauties of the national park, exploring the trails and lava formations, and teaching you about the history of Kilauea volcano and our native Hawaiian birds. As darkness falls and the stars emerge from the heavens we will travel the path of Keanakako'i on Kilauea. On the path we will be engulfed by the beauty of volcanic ecosystems from vibrant forests to majestic barren lava flows. As we travel I will share the history and stories of the Hawaiian goddess Pele and teach you about Hawalian astronomy. Upon the completion of our trek we will have arrived at a cliff point that allows us to look into the crater of Halema'uma'u and it's growing lake of lava that continues to grow our island of Hawaii every day. Hawaii is truly alive.

FUN, EDUCATIONAL, AND A GREAT DAY

Published on Jan, 2025

What a great time!! Learned so much about the history of the island from chiefs, gods, and plants. The tour is a nice walking pace and is not challenging. The native tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Tried amazing fruit and had a great day!

IMUA. Go froward and do it

Published on Dec, 2024

The coolest tour we have been on in many years. You have access to one of the most knowledgeable people on Hawaiian culture and history. As well, he knows the park and all of the flora and fauna. On top of that he is a most interesting man with some fantastic stories to entertain while you traverse some of the most beautiful spots in the park.

Gain new perspectives on all that is Hawai‘i

Christian Kealohapauʻoleokeali’iahokulaninuiākea Phillips was friendly,knowledgeable, and funny. His love for people and the 'aina was expressed throughout the tour. He opens your eyes to the importance if stewardship and connections. Great tour. A must do!

Amazing tour of Kīlauea and Volcano National Park

Published on Jul, 2024

Our guide, Christian, gave us an amazing tour in the Volcano National park. He shared with us his intimate knowledge of Hawaiian culture and history, native plants, and the history of Hawaii. The hike along the Kīlauea rim was spectacular. It was a tour we will remember and treasure forever.

Wonderful, friendly "young elder"

Published on May, 2024

Christian was personable, knowledgeable, and charismatic. As an active member of a traditional Indigenous culture on the mainland (Chahta and Mvskoke), it was great to spend time with a young adult who is active in, and enthusiastic about, the culture, history, and language of his Kanaka Maoli. The four hours we spent with him were one of the best parts of our 7-day trip.
