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.

Jody was extremely knowledgeable about Oahu and led me to some very interesting spots. He was able to adapt the tour as we went along to hit areas that were interesting and important to me. As a native Japanese and English speaker, it was interesting to get his perspectives on life and living in Oahu.

Jody was a great tour guide. We had some time before we had to be at the airport coming off the cruise ship. We had asked him to show us places that are not on a bus shore excursion and he took us to some wonderful site seeing places, just what we where looking for. Very knowledgeable about the island. We would definitely recommend Jody to anyone who is looking for a great time.

Jody was the perfect guide for our group of 5 siblings. We had several hours between interisland & overnight flights. Because of check-in issues, we were already exhausted! We planned to spend several hours at Pearl Harbor but Jody adjusted the tour perfectly. He took us to a few historical sites & we learned just enough to want to come back for more. He took us to a great coffee shop & picked up pastries at a renowned bakery. And we had a quick tour of Waikiki Bach & Pearl Harbor. We'll hire Jody again!
