What an amazing day.

Our day started with Will picking us up at the airport, right on time. We had a small group of 5 for a private island tour that started at Pearl Harbor. The stops suggested were all spot on and exactly what we were looking for. We were most excited about how knowledgeable and friendly our guide (Will) was. Such a pleasure to talk with and get to know. Thanks Will- we had a great time and will be back next year for the large island circle tour. The Kentucky Gang!!!!

A beautiful Summer's day on Oahu

We very much enjoyed our day with Summer. We were able to customize our trip around the island with some surprise favorites that only a local could share. Summer's stories and extensive knowledge of Hawaii's history was amazing. We learned so much and saw absolutely everything! 12 of 10 would recommend! Mahalo Summer! I hope our paths cross again.
