You said: Aloha! My name is Luis, but everyone calls me Lui. I’m a fourth-generation Portuguese descendant, born and raised right here on the island of Oʻahu. My roots run deep—my family was part of the storied Hawaiian sugar industry, and my father, a U.S. Navy sailor, met my mother while stationed at Pearl Harbor. Growing up along the shores of Pearl Harbor, I developed a lifelong fascination with World War II Pacific history and the unique heritage of our island. After serving as a submariner in the U.S. Navy myself, I went on to earn a degree in U.S. History with a focus on the Pacific region. Being from Oʻahu, I’ve been lucky to hear firsthand stories passed down through generations—including accounts of the December 7, 1941, attack, as told by my grandfather who was on base that day. As a passionate storyteller with over 7 years experience as a tour guide, I love sharing these powerful narratives with those eager to learn—whether we’re tracing the events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor or exploring the hidden history along the North Shore. Join me, and let’s bring history to life together. Mahalo, Lui

Phenomenal guide! Hit all the spots we wanted to see and several we never knew about! Luis has a personality that makes you feel like you are with an old friend.

Luis was wonderful! The history Luis taught us before ever arriving to Pearl Harbor made our visit so much more meaningful. He was very accommodating to where we chose to spend a little more time, we never felt rushed or “moved on”. His down to earth personality made us feel like we were visiting with an old friend. Would definitely recommend Luis to anyone wanting to...

Not enough words to describe what an amazingly informative and enjoyable day our party of 4 spent with Luis Gutierrez. Before we ever stepped onto the sacred site, Luis provided us a historical background of what occurred prior to December 7, 1941. Although our party included history buffs, they too walked away with more knowledge. Luis’ family has lived in Hawaii for...

Another great tours by local guide. Born and raised in Hawaii with a career in the Navy , plus a history degree -- what better person to give a tour of the Arizona memorial plus the USS Missouri. Extremely knowledgeable on subject matter, plus one of the few guides that can give you a private Missouri tour. Was very flexible on time with the only constraint is the...
