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
Why snap a photo from a moving bus, when you can walk up and touch the coral-brick walls of Old Kawaiaha'o Church? Stretch your legs on this walking tour of four blocks of Hawaiian historic buildings constructed by early Protestant missionaries, 19th Century Hawaiian royalty, and more recent architects. Stroll the grounds of Iolani Palace and Barracks before crossing King Street to the King Kamehameha the Great statue and Ali'iolani Hale, which houses Hawai'i's Supreme Court. Weekdays you may want to venture inside and learn about ancient Hawaiian laws and punishments for breaking them in the Judiciary History Center. You will recognize the New England architectural styles of the Mission Houses and Old Kawaiaha'o Church, where you'll also find beloved King Liholiho's tomb. Honolulu Hale (City Hall) the State Capitol, and Governor's Mansion round out your tour. I believe that there's more to like about the Hawaiian Islands than natural beauty. Come and join me!
