Private Tours

"Pono Nature Tours where anything is possible" 

We come together in Hawaii as an extended family (Ohana) to be supported, guided, nurtured and looked after while exploring the powerful nature force (Mana) in Hawaii. Kayak then listen to singing Humpback whales, swim then snorkel with playful Spinner dolphins, hike then enjoy the sacred mountains, enchanted valleys and flowing lava. We plan, organize and facilitate your daily excursions in a mindful, conscious, respectful and Pono way so that your interactions with nature in Hawaii are fully realized. 

We recognize the value and responsibility of our stewardship of the land and the oceans so that our adventures on the islands honor the sacred Hawaiian traditions.
