Aloha! My name is Yolanda. I'm an outgoing, adventurous person who loves history, travel, and meeting people from different countries. I studied Tourism Administration in college, was a flight attendant for five years, and later worked many years in people-oriented, professional positions related to customer service. I joined ToursByLocals 7 years ago. The positive reviews I've received since then are the result of my love for this beautiful Hawaiian culture, my passion for customer service, and great desire to share all of these with eager visitors, like you, the uniqueness of this beautiful place. My goal is to make you feel welcome and part of one 'ohana ("family" in Hawaiian), and to give you exclusive experiences that will create lasting memories. As a long-time resident of Hawaii, I know its best-kept secrets and specialize in providing unique experiences in off-the-beaten-path places. I know the best places to see whales, manta rays, monk seals, sea turtles, and albatrosses; pick your own fruit; and buy Kona coffee, pineapple ice cream, Hawaiian quilts, shave ice, or Koa wood carvings. I know the places Mark Twain called "the most beautiful view in the world" and "the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. " I know where you can find bargains, the best golf courses, culinary delights, uplifting entertainment, unspoiled nature, scenic drives, and fabulous hiking, snorkeling, and stand up paddle boarding. I also know which activities and site visits can be reasonably combined into plans for a single day on a particular island. I'm a Certified Hawaii Professional Tour Guide. I'm also an authorized tour guide for Pearl Harbor National Memorial, so I can reserve tickets for you, take you to the most important places, and provide you with key historical facts and other important information, including how to navigate their complex procedures and regulations, in order to optimize your experience. My tours are flexible, customizable, and available in either English or Spanish. By tapping into my knowledge and expertise you will spend less time deciding what to do. You will be far more likely to visit the most beautiful and fascinating places on the islands and choose attractions and excursions that are truly worthwhile and provide good value for the money. And you will also be able to relax, knowing that WE SANITIZE OUR VEHCILES AND PROVIDE HAND SANITIZER TO KEEP YOU SAFE.

Yolanda was such a fun and informative tour guide. She accommodated everything that we had on our list to do. Would highly recommend Yolanda and this tour.
Yolanda was fabulous and knowledgeable. She took 10 of us wherever we wanted and explained the history of each place.
We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was amazing. He took us to all these places we had never been. We stumbled upon a surfing tournament, tried mind blowing food and got some great photos. Only wish we had more time before our flight. Highly recommend. Best day of all our two weeks in Hawaii.
This tour was outstanding. Yolanda picked us up at the port in her comfortable van and stowed our luggage. She even brought a cooler in which to keep our chocolates. She provided history of the Pearl Harbor attack as we drove to the site, and then provided us with information on how to get the most out of our visit, i.e., where to be and at one time.
