Susie was great! Very thoughtful and well curated tour. The off the beaten path places we went were wonderful. From the best shaved ice to a local Hawaiian restaurant for lunch, all was appreciated.

Susie is a quirky, fun and knowledgable guide to Oahu. As a lifelong resident, she shared interesting stories and perspectives with us that deepened our understanding of Hawaii, its people and its history. She planned a beautiful day around our interests in nature and birds, as well as some stops along the way for the best things to eat. (Don't miss the 7-11 musubi or the malasada truck.)
Peter R.
Susie was a great tour guide. She provided some interesting insights into the culture of Hawaii and took us to many sites around the Island. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Hawaii.
Judy M.United States
Great tour with Susie. Have been to Oahu many times and wanted to go to the Botanical Gardens and less crowded, less touristy areas. Susie really delivered, took us to some beautiful, interesting sites on the East side of the island that we had not seen. Had a great time and would definitely recommend.
Larry K.United States
Susie is incredible! She gave us the tour we were looking for! She exceeded our expectations. She is knowledgeable about Hawaiian and Polynesian culture; which is exactly what we were looking for, a true local! She is highly respectful, personable and we felt totally at ease and comfortable with her. She began with an Hawaiian language primer and really helped us understand how to say words like a true native. She also gave us a quick history lesson on all of the Hawaiian islands. 100% satisfied!
Robert M.United States
We had a wonderful time on our private tour with Susie. We highly recommend! And would book again and again. We saw many amazing views and beaches. We had a local lunch, shaved ice, and masaladas. We also saw sea turtles. Susie gave us recommendations for things to do and places to eat. She picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel.
