Tour Your Way: Custom 10-Hour Adventure for Large Groups

Aloha! I’m Alex, and for more than 22 years, Oʻahu has been my home. I’ve spent over 17 years guiding visitors around the island, but what I offer isn’t a scripted sightseeing tour. My goal is to give you the kind of day you’d have if you were exploring Oʻahu with a local friend who knows exactly where to go, when to go, and what’s worth your time. Tell me what you want to get out of your day, and I’ll take it from there. Maybe you want to see as much of the island as possible, discover incredible beaches and viewpoints, learn about Hawaiian history and culture, find great local food, swim beneath a waterfall, photograph the North Shore, or get away from the typical tourist experience. Private touring gives us the freedom to shape the day around you. My connection to Hawaiʻi goes well beyond guiding. I’ve studied Hawaiian culture and history locally, worked at places including ʻIolani Palace and Lyon Arboretum, and previously guided at Kualoa Ranch. I’m also a U.S. Navy veteran, pilot, certified scuba diver, North Shore surfer, photographer, and longtime island resident. Those experiences have given me a unique perspective on Oʻahu and plenty of stories to share along the way. Photography is also a big part of what I do. You shouldn't have to experience Hawaiʻi from behind your phone all day. Enjoy yourself, and I'll help capture great photos of you and your family along the way so everyone actually makes it into the vacation pictures. Most importantly, I want our day to be fun. I’m not interested in rushing you from stop to stop while reciting a memorized script. We'll explore, talk story, laugh, eat something good, change plans when something interesting comes up, and experience Oʻahu at a pace that works for you. After more than two decades here, I still love exploring this island. If you're looking for a private guide who knows Oʻahu, understands its history and culture, and can turn your limited vacation time into a day built around you, I'd love to show you the Hawaiʻi I know and love.
