ALOHA! With me, you will find an enthusiastic guide that loves showing you the amazing beauty of Hawaii. I am happily married with 2 kids, I love to surf, hike, read and honestly enjoy time with clients visiting Oahu and getting to re-experience the island with you. Before making the move to Oahu with my family in 2014, I lived in Japan for 35+ years and worked on the US military installations as a fireman for 16yrs. I hope you will come to rely on me as a cousin here in Hawaii that wants you to experience the awesome environment and food that Oahu has to offer. Feel free to change things up a bit as well, I can be as flexible as you need. I want to help you make the most of the time that you have with me. After moving to Oahu, I have had the opportunity to provide guided tours to thousands of clients as a Segway Instructor, Hiking Tour Guide, and lately a Private and Group Tour Guide. Through these experiences I have been able to gain even more to share and look even more forward to doing so. I feel so fortunate to be able to provide tours with ToursByLocals and help travelers appreciate the island in a more in depth perspective. I am still in awe of the beauty of this island and look forward to help you have even more fun while you are with me. PUC LICENSE 1115-C For parties up to 6 I have a 8 Passenger SUV, I am a licensed tour operator and can legally carry passengers in my vehicle on the Island of Oahu. Licensed for Pearl Harbor Approved by DLNR to conduct guided HIKES on designated trails. There are areas on the island where commercial activity is restricted.

Sonya M.United States
Fantastic tour. Jody was very knowledgeable of island history and culture. He met us at the cruise terminal and took us directly to the airport after an 8 hour circle island tour. Jody allowed us to dictate the destinations and gave us great options for sightseeing and lunch. I would highly recommend using him for your vacation tour.
Thomas R.United States
Jody was very accommodating and wanted to show us many sights on the island that we could never found on our own. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. After a full day he took us to our desired location for the drop off. A great finish to our family vacation.

We are first time visitors to Hawaii and so wanted a tour of O'ahu to get a true feel for the island. The main thing to note is that you will not meet a nicer guy than Jody! We received first class service from initial contact right through to the end of our tour. Jody tailored the tour to our requirements and the running commentary was second to none. Local knowledge meant that we had the best photo opportunities, detours to sample the best food stops and also got to see seals and turtles! Thank you
