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. Maui Mauka - Nature Based Tourism - Triple Certified. Hawaiian Culture by Kumuhula Pi'ilani Lua - Certified. Trip Advisor Awards: Travelers Choice Award 2020. Certificate of Excellence 2019. Haiku Award Program - Best of Haiku Award in the Tour Operator category, 2019. Travel and Hospitality Awards - Excellence in Service in Hawaii, 2019.
