I'm a five star private tour operator who grew up on the East, West, and far West coastlines of the U. S. With a passion for exploring the Hawaiian Islands, since my father moved to Lanai and the Big Island In 1988. For 18 years, Hawaii was my home away from California, leaving no stone unturned, while always discovering something new and incredible about this paradise. The Aloha spirit of the islands were instilled in me and knew it was a matter of time before committing to full time living on my favorite island of all, Maui! 14 years ago. ​The natural wonders and lifestyle here inspired me to become a private guide, having gained extensive experience in adventure tours, cultural sightseeing tours and hiking tours, with an education on Hawaiian history, flora, fauna and Volcanology. I've been in the ocean my entire life on all coasts, from ocean sports, diving, to being an avid swimmer for 14 years. A real passion of mine is to discover places I truly resonate with. I apply this wherever I go, having explored internationally since the mid 90's. ​ Public Utilities Commission - motor carrier permit #4953C. Department of Land and Natural Resources permit for exploring that much more. All required Commercial insurances. First Aid/CPR/AED Certified from the American Heart Association.

Overview of your Maui tour

I have extensive experience exploring East Maui's rainforest professionally since 2016. My first time discovering this lush rainforest was 27 years ago, while on vacation, and it's been on ongoing discovery ever since. Spend less time in the car and more time exploring gems off the Road to Hana, unwinding in Maui's incredible nature vs. being time sensitive to road travel and the most popular destinations. Includes hiking on uneven terrain, lava rock hopping to waterfalls for swimming, crossing rocky streams, a local black sand beach, the beautiful peninsula town, Keanae, local food and snack stands. As a result, you do NOT drive to Hana!  Some activities are for experienced hikers or active types, with a minimum age of 9 and a maximum age of 65.

Your Maui tour itinerary

• Hike to hidden waterfalls to explore and swim. • Explore a bamboo forest. • View the never seen before, painterly Rainbow Eucalyptus trees. • Discover a local black sand beach. • Visit the peninsula town of Keanae for a unique and stunning lava rock coastline. • Visit local stands for lunch, tasty banana bread, smoothies, fresh fruit, other local snacks.
