Overview

What makes my tours special is that I will take you to places other tours will not go.

We drive north of Hilo to see the surf spots were we will drive slowly down a narrow road. I will narrate to you about the surfers as they catching waves.

We drive over old bridges through the lush jungle seeing many waterfalls. I will tell you about the plants, history, and real estate.

We stop for iced coconuts if the vendor is there, then we will stop for whipped icecream.

We stop to feed the wild pigs in one area if they're there. Then we will shop at the volcano village for things made in hawaii at the gift shop, and you can get food at the store to go.

In the Hawaii Volcano National Park we will walk in a lava field to look for peacock lava, and I will take pictures of you inside of a fissure. I will take photos of you at all of my stops, and I will tell you the hawaiian mythology story's.

I will bring fruit to sample from my farm, or stop at a fruit stand so you can buy fruit.
