Aloha! My name is Rieley, and I am a certified tour guide here on O'ahu. Coming from the Midwest, I fell in love with the island and feel grateful to be able to share it with others every day. For me, the best part of being a tour guide is sharing the beauty, history, and culture of this incredible place with people from all over the world. Every day is an opportunity to connect and engage. I love watching visitors’ faces light up as they discover the magic of the island, and it’s rewarding to know I’m helping create memories they’ll cherish back home. As a younger guide with a deep respect for history, I bring a fresh perspective to exploring the island. I specialize in Pearl Harbour tours and full-island experiences that blend meaningful storytelling with the island’s natural beauty. I love introducing guests to beautiful local spots, sharing the history of O'ahu, and creating an experience that feels personal, relaxed, and unforgettable. I love to hike, surf, and sail around the islands in my free time, and that passion carries into every tour—whether we’re cruising the North Shore to check out the big wave surfing, discovering the Southeast Coast and its views, or hiking to the top of Diamond Head, I strive to make your day unforgettable.

Overview of your Honolulu tour

Step into a pivotal chapter of history on this private tour connecting the beginning and end of America’s involvement in World War II. As we drive to Pearl Harbor National Memorial, I provide historical context leading up to December 7, 1941. Visit the solemn USS Arizona Memorial, then continue to Ford Island to explore the USS Missouri, where Japan formally surrendered in 1945. Walk the decks, stand on the surrender site, and see the sailors’ quarters. We conclude with a drive through National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific and past ʻIolani Palace, connecting Hawaiʻi’s history to America’s path in the Pacific.
