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.

This tour will give you the flexibility, to visit on your last day on the island, the places, that you liked the most, or the ones you were not able to visit during your stay. If you are not sure what to do with the time between when you check out of your hotel or cruise ship and when your flight departs on your last day on Oahu? Make the most of this precious vacation time by taking our "Fond Farewell Private Tour"! You may think you've seen all that Oahu has to offer, but the island is full of secret places to discover.
Our tour with Yolando was wonderful. We included Pearl Harbor and the North Shore for a group of 6. We had lots of luggage and other things to work around and she was very accomodating. We enjoyed every minute and loved the lunch stop on the beach. Thank you Yolanda.
Very professional and an extremely enjoyable person. She went out of her way to modify our tour to our last minute changes. Her personal insights were wonderful.
We really liked our Oahu tour with Yolanda. She gave us the opportunity to get the best of our short 7 hours that we had to spent on Oahu prior to our flight back to Chicago. We experienced beautiful places, views on and off the beaten paths, snorkel at Hanauma bay, try food at the North Shore famous food trucks... All of that in short 7 hours tour with Yolanda. She was very patient, interested and accommodating to our needs and interests. We would definitely recommend her tours.
Yolanda certainly helped us bid a 'Fond Farewell' to Honolulu, picking us from our cruise ship and taking us on a tour of sites we had prearranged in advance. Everything was perfect, from the North Shore to see surfers to a food truck serving delicious shrimp. We were able to take a tour of the KoHana rum plant (extra charge) and still get back to the airport in time for our flight home. Along the way Yolanda added interesting tidbits about island life. We can't thank her enough!
Yolanda customized a tour for us between legs of our consecutive cruises. We had previously been to the major tourist sites, so she came up with really spectacular off-the-beaten-path locations for us to visit. Yolanda took wonderful photos capturing us enjoying Oahu's amazing natural beauty. We also enjoyed a roadside treat from her and a Dole Whip snack. She surprised us by quickly emailing personalized souvenir pages. Very interesting and kind guide. Most enjoyable day. We highly recommend Yolanda!
Yolanda was a great tour guide, and enjoyed seeing somethings that we didn't see while waiting for our flight home, very knowledgeable and friendly, met us at hotel and very professional and worked with us to find stuff best fit for what we were looking for, id highly recommend her for anyone doing any tour in Oahu, but this tour was great as had so much time from checking out of hotel to needing to board flight home, id use her again the next time I go back.
I will pick you up at your hotel, cruise ship terminal, or other location with your luggage and take you to places you didn't have a chance to visit, return you to places you liked the most, or simple take you to a unique spot for a nice meal. After your adventure I will take you to the airport or cruise ship terminal in plenty of time for your departure.
