Solid knowledge of our...

Published on Mar, 2024

Solid knowledge of our guild. Shawn was fantastic, great time, highly recommend. Perfect day, one end of the island to the other.

Good first day tour

Published on Jan, 2024

Good introduction to history of Hawaii. Loved the mountains and seacoast. Friendly and accommodating driver/tour guide. Our favorite part was lunch at local food stand. Loved taro. Not so fond of poi

First on your list

Published on Jul, 2023

This should be the first tour on your list to get some good local knowledge & learn about the Hawaiian culture and people while taking in both well known and not so well known places of interest while stopping to try typical foods and snacks along the way. As a family of five it was great to get out on a private tour and enjoy chatting with a local who was happy to share stories not only of the culture and history but also some personal stories from his childhood and current day life. Fantastic introduction to Hawaii. Thanks to Travis.

What you never knew about Hawai'i

Published on Sep, 2022

Our guide was Travis, so kind and easy going, but knowledgeable and professional too. He graciously led us among the fascinating Hawaiian history, starting with the significance of Iolani palace and the statue of King Kamehameha; before leaving Waikiki, we could take a look at the 'coral' church and a glimpse of Chinatown. Afterwards we climbed the hill leading to the “moving” Punchbowl Memorial. Each stop became more interesting thanks to stories and facts that Travis was sharing with us – eager to answer to each of our questions. A spectacular view over Waikiki and Diamond Head is one of our favorite memories. We even visited an ancient “heiau” (or sacred place) where locals still offer gifts to the gods - and a curious restored old fishpond. In each of the places we visited Travis explained history and traditions of the various ethnic groups who had arrived to Hawai’i islands and some of the recent changes that are occurring still nowadays: VERY interesting!!. We would recommend this tour , not only to someone into history , but to everyone wanting to explore the heritage and history of these islands !! Thank you, Travis , for so many wonderful memories

Great History Tour

Published on Sep, 2021

The Pali was spectacular and unbelievably windy. Very interesting stop at Punchbowl Cemetery. Learned a lot with our guide Travis. He treated us like Obama.
