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

Travel from your hotel to Pearl Harbor for an unforgettable experience. Learn about the attack on December 7, 1941, which President Franklin Roosevelt described as "a date which will live in infamy" and see his hand-edited speech. A variety of films and outdoor exhibits provide a glimpse of pre-war Honolulu and a moving testimonial to the ingenuity and bravery of our armed forces. In addition to the USS Arizona Memorial, you'll visit the USS Missouri, site of Japan's surrender, and your choice of USS Bowfin Submarine and Submarine Museum OR Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. I will give you tips on how best to experience the USS Arizona Memorial. You will also visit Punchbowl National Cemetery, Iolani Palace, King Kamehameha Statue and Mission Houses.

We had a wonderful experience touring the Pearl Harbor memorial sites with our guide, Donna. She was very knowledgeable about the historical background of each stop and very professional. Highly recommended!

We are a family of 5 people (3 adults and 2 teenagers) Donna is very kind and accommodating and try her very best to answer all the questions from a young curious teenager. We hired Donna for 2 full days Pearl Harbor tours that include the Visitor Center , Museums, USS Arizona Memorial, USS Missouri, USS Bowfin and the museum of submarine. She also helped to make lunch reservations at 604 restaurant. Overall we are happy with Donna
