My name is Don I am a licensed tour guide. I started to drive school bus, and city bus after I got my cdl from Robert's Hawaii Tours in 2009. I received hundreds of hours of drivers safety training. Then I drove for Jack's Tours driving tour busses. I have been selling rare 🌴 palms, and cycads for over 30 years. I also grow fruit to sell at the farmers market. I am veteran that built my own house, and lived in hawaii over 20 years. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world while doing tours. I was trained by the park rangers, and volcanologists for 10 hours once a year for 8 years. I learned about history, mythology, native birds, plants, animals, and 🌋 volcanology. I learned over the past 15 years of doing tours is that if the wives are happy the husbands are happy. I will customize your tour, and ask if anyone wants to stop for certain things along the way. I like to keep a fast pace fun tour with lots of stops. I don't waste time with boring things like feeding pigeons in the park. I like traveling the scenic routes and avoid traffic lights. I time my tours so I can show you as much as possible. I treat others as I want to be treated. I treat you like family!
