I'm Jennifer, your local guide to unforgettable adventures in Volcanoes National Park Hawaii! Growing up as a military brat allowed me to roam across the United States, sparking my passion for the great outdoors and exploration. From hiking to fishing, surfing, and skiing, I've immersed myself in nature's wonders all my life. After studying Recreation Management at the University of Montana, I delved deeper into my love for plants while working as a tree planter and timber cruiser. As a summer camp director near Yellowstone National Park, I witnessed the transformative power of outdoor experiences on young minds. This led me to become a guide, sharing my knowledge and love for nature with others. In 2006, I followed my heart to Hawaii where I discovered a harmonious blend of culture and nature unlike anywhere else. My journey between Hawaii and Montana has allowed me to guide in Yellowstone National Park and eventually lead hiking trips inside Volcanoes National Park. As someone who thrives on planning adventures, I can't wait to customize a trip just for you! Before we embark on our journey, I'll chat with you to tailor your experience based on your interests and abilities. Let us create unforgettable memories hiking through the wonders of Volcanoes National Park together. Through my experiences and connections in Hawaii, I've gained profound insights into conservation and the deep-rooted love for the land. It's my mission to share this connection with you and help you discover the magic of this incredible island. Book your customized trip with me today and let's explore the beauty of Hawaii together!
