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.

Visit the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, one of the most historic places in the world. Learn from the excellent displays in the visitor center, view a film on the day "which will live in infamy", and visit the Memorial by crossing the harbor aboard a US Navy vessel. After departing Pearl Harbor, we will briefly visit the grounds of 'Iolani Palace, the former home of Hawaii's final monarchs, and the renowned King Kamehameha Statue, featured on Hawai'i 5-O. We will then either visit Punchbowl National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. The Punchbowl Cemetery honors more than 33, 000 soldiers who lie in rest within the crater of an ancient volcano. The setting offers inspiring, panoramic views of Honolulu, and large wall murals tell the stories of American military engagements throughout the Pacific region.
