I love the island of Oahu for all the outdoor activities she offers: hiking, swimming, canoe paddling, etc. But there's more to like about the Hawaiian Islands than natural beauty. The history and mythology of the Hawaiian people captivate locals and visitors alike. I enjoy learning about them and sharing my knowledge. When family or friends visit, I take them around to the places I enjoy (sightseeing, restaurants, activities) or, if time does not permit, I draw up itineraries for them to explore on their own. From President Obama's favorite shave ice stand to hidden waterfalls and spectacular vistas, I will help you discover way more of the island than you could driving a rental car. I speak some Spanish and would particularly enjoy touring Spanish speakers around. ¡Bienvenidos! Les invito viajar conmigo.

Overview of your Honolulu tour

Please allow me to share my knowledge of the events leading up to America's jumping into the fray of WWII and life in the Territory of Hawai'i before and during the war. Travel from Kahala Hotel & Resort to Pearl Harbor Museum and USS Arizona Memorial for an unforgettable experience. Learn about Japan's audacious attack on December 7, 1941, which President Franklin Roosevelt called "a date which will live in infamy. " Two open-air museums and outdoor exhibits, along with optional tours of the USS Bowfin Submarine and museum, provide a glimpse of pre-war Honolulu and a moving testimonial to the ingenuity and bravery of our armed forces.
