Attend a church service spoken in Hawaiian, visit a spectacular orchid nursery ablaze in exotic flowers, dance in kimono at a Japanese Obon festival, drive through the Ko'olau tropical rain forest, mingle at Magic Island during a Hawaiian sunset to watch surfers and outrigger canoe teams, or watch a lei-maker weave a floral work of art. Are you passionate about volcanic geology or want to tour Waikiki off shore by sailboat? The opportunities are endless. Call us to help you create your own personalized itinerary or simply modify an existing tour into an experience that will inspire you long after you arrive home from your sojourn in our enchanted paradise.
NOTE: The National Park Service in conjunction with the U.S. military provides excellent free tours within the Pearl Harbor military base, and it does not require separate guiding services.
