Aloha! E komo mai e Hawai'i Nei! I'm so happy to welcome you to our Hawai'i. My name is Noelani, which means "Heavenly Mist" in Hawaiian language. I am excited to share my island with you which includes my culture, our foods, my heritage and my Aloha spirit. My passion is to always have a thriving thirst of knowledge every day to be able to share all that I have to enhance your visit to our Hawaiian Islands. Being born and raised here on the island of Oahu, I have a special love of our people, our culture and our islands. I have been a tour guide for around two years but have been with our tourism industry for several years. My favorite personal tours include sharing our beautiful Ko'olau mountains, our spectacular views, crystal blue waters and beaches and our incredible history. People have been coming to Hawai'i for hundreds of years, contributing their culture, their special foods, history and their religion. In Hawai'i we embrace all that we have to make us the most beautiful place on the planet! I am very lucky to be able to share this with you as your personal guide. I truly would like to make your Hawai'i vacation special and memorable.

Overview of your Honolulu tour

Visit Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona - the most popular site on all of Oahu. Learn about the events leading up to this infamous day and the impact it made on an entire generation. You'll hear a pre-recorded lecture by an historian discussing why the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and I'll share my knowledge about the historical events surrounding that day. When we arrive at Pearl Harbor, I'll give you pointers on how to best utilize your time and make the most of your experience, and provide you with tickets for the navy shuttle to the Memorial. Then we head over to the USS Missouri on Ford Island. Before we head back, we'll drive through Punchbowl Cemetery with its panoramic views of Honolulu, Diamond Head and large wall murals that tell the stories of American military engagements throughout the Pacific. We stop by the Iolani Palace, home to the last reigning monarch of Hawaii, and the only official royal residence in the United States, and the renowned King Kamehameha Statue, featured on Hawaii 5-0

Outstanding tour! Noelani is a very knowledgeable and professional tour guide. She showed us everything we wanted to see and provided great insight the history and culture of Oahu. Her tour of the USS Missouri was exceptional. An overall 5 star tour in every respect. Highly recommend!

Neolani delivered everything and more! Cannot recommend more! Not only was the tour exactly on point but she provided so much information about Hawaii that only a local could provide. She was fun, funny, kind and made us all feel totally at ease. We loved not having to sit in a bus with 20 other people and loved that she never made us feel rushed or like we didn't know what to do or where to go.
