Unforgettable tour with the best tour guide! - We did a group tour in Hawaii, and being in a small group made the whole experience even better. Our tour guide, Aina, was amazing from start to finish. He was super chill, incredibly kind, and talked about the history of Hawaii in such a beautiful and meaningful way. At each stop, he shared the significance of the place, gave us helpful tips, and then let us explore on our own, which we really appreciated. We saw other tour groups whose guides were hovering over them the entire time, and it honestly didn’t look very enjoyable. Aina had the perfect balance of guiding us while giving us space. All the spots we visited were amazing, with beautiful views, great food, and such a good vibe overall. This tour ended up being our favorite part of the entire vacation. Highly recommend this tour!

Authentic Hawaiian Owned Tour Experience - We really enjoyed our tour with Aina. He was very knowledgeable and informative throughout, and gave plenty of time at each stop to see the sights. The food was delicious and we loved that he took us to true local spots. Highly recommend booking with Aina if you’re staying on Oahu. 10/10.

Just some Mainland natives hanging with an Island Native - Came to the island for work but had a free day and spent it with Aina. It was a great tour and our group had fun. Aina was very knowledgeable in the history and shared many fun facts with us about the island and some legends of the beautiful landscape (my fave part). It was great to spend the day with a fellow indigenous person and sharing our stories. Thank you Aina, for everything you shared with us and for giving us a great experience of the island!

Circle Tour - Our tour guide was very authentic and provided excellent historical perspective throughout. The tour stops provided variety, the temple and swimming with turtles were a highlight. Tanaka Shrimp (lunch stop) was well placed and flavour was amazing. Felt as though we experienced many aspects of island life. Small group also a plus. Excellent experience!

Tour with a LOCAL - Highly recommend this tour. From the minute Aina picked me up I knew it was going to be great. His friendly and warm nature made for a perfect day. The day started early and it soon became apparent why, by leaving early we got to all the popular sites way before everyone else. Aina included breakfast which was superb. Highlight of the tour for me was sunrise from diamond head lookout, truly magnificent. Thank Aina for a perfect day. 🤗

Entertaining, informative, great experience! - Aina was fantastic! Don't do one of the big corporate bus tours, stick with a knowledgeable local like Aina who can provide the rich history from the perspective of a native Hawaiian surfer. He is entertaining and very helpful, pointing out great places to go and what to avoid. Great introduction to our first trip to Hawaii!
