Tour guide in Hilo Hawaii Derick P.

Aloha, The Big Island of Hawaii is a magical place that has so much to offer, that's why my wife and I decided to raise our family here. I operate a small tour/transportation company here in beautiful Kailua-Kona. I've always had a deep passion for travel and I truly enjoy showing people around new areas, so starting this tour company just made since. I get to explore around this island and call it "market research", which helps me provide better tours for you. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and showing them around this wonderful island. I've found that the natural beauty of Hawaii speaks to every individual differently and it's so fun to see that develop throughout our time together. I've always tried to learn about the culture of wherever I'm travelling to and Hawaii is no different, I'm always trying to learn more about the islands for my own personal knowledge and enjoyment. I had a nearly 20 year career in the fire service in Oregon, which taught me so much and really shaped who I am now. I learned safety is always the top priority, as well as the importance of maintaining my equipment, having logistical thinking, knowing how to deal with stressful situations, having plans A, B & C when possible and much more. Let me show you around this magical island, you won't be disappointed! State of Hawaii PUC License # 5650-C. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park CUA Permit. Kona Airport Ground Transportation Permit.
