Aloha from Hawaii Tours !
The Hawaii Tours Ohana
Visiting family from across the Pacific has been part of our lives since the 1940’s, (that’s before Hawaii became a state). Our founder’s Grandma started the family legacy by arranging travel for guests both to Hawaii and around it, back when there were only a few hotels and even fewer ways to get around. And, she did it without any of today’s modern conveniences. Guests loved the unique, fun-filled holidays she crafted back then, and we’re continuing in that family tradition today by delivering Hawaii’s best vacations.
Grandma was dedicated to her community, saw everyone as part of her family. She wanted her family to succeed. She gave where she could, volunteered where it was needed and lead when called upon to do so. Her passion informs our vision and drives our decisions.
Over the decades, our ohana has grown to include more aunties and uncles, industry professionals, reliable friends and trusted partners who share our family’s vision. Together, we strive daily to deliver wonderful experiences that are worth your precious vacation time.
Our story
Early Influences
We are very passionate about traveling, the travel industry and showing our guests beautiful, strange, unique and wonderful places. It started for most of us with our parents and grandparents, learning how important it was to see new places… for inspiration, to be silenced in awe or humbled by nature in countless ways. It’s good for our soul, our planet, and our civilization.
today
We have a responsibility to provide for our families in the tourism industry. It is our primary means of income, in addition to our team members we employ around the world. So our company has grown from a single agent, into an activity agency and now become a full service destination management company (DMC). We provide full service logistics to deliver our guests to almost anywhere in Hawaii with our in-house, managed fleet of vans, and mini-coaches.
the future
We are planning to be around a long time so we are working hard to make careers work in the tourism industry. Stable, secure, good-paying jobs that provide for a family in Hawaii and allow them to save for the future, like they do in other parts of the USA.
Our communities need a good tourism industry example so they have hope that it can be managed to their benefit. We strive to deliver that to them.

Hawaii Tours Commitment to Sustainability
At Hawaii Tours, we take our responsibility to our islands and our community seriously. Our commitment to sustainability is not just a buzzword; it's the way we live, work, and do business. Here are the key principles that guide our sustainable practices:
Eco-Conscious Operations in Hawaii
Utilizing state-of-the-art technology to reduce our environmental impact continues to show positive results. Ride-sharing and refillable water flasks are commonplace which help safeguard Hawaii's natural splendor. We demonstrate our eco-commitment through actions and affiliations like our Sustainable Tourism Association of Hawaii membership.
Transparent Operations
And Adaptive Growth
Emphasizing honesty and guest feedback, we commit to transparent practices and continuous service refinement, solidifying our roles as responsible leaders and a positive, responsive force in Hawaii's communities, both in times of crises as well as times of calm.
Bill Harper
We had an amazing float down the canals in Kauai. This was our first time and my daughter and I had a blast! The water was refreshing and all the guides and drivers we fantastic. Lunch was wonderful and the scenery, incredible. I would highly recommend this excursion!
Helen William
It was a Fantastic experience. Our guide was very friendly. My teen age son is a big fan of Jurrasic Movies. This tour was his dream come true. The tour company had good communication with us from the time we contacted them, which made our tour easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend to take this tour.
Nurturing Local Culture
And Expertise
Our culturally conscious guides all have deep roots in Hawaii and bring authentic experiences, merging local traditions with ongoing professional tourism development, thereby preserving and honoring Hawaii's rich cultural heritage while still providing guests with the kind of experiences they will want to return for again and again.
Our Maui
Relief Efforts

That's why we're deeply involved in relief efforts, particularly our ongoing Maui Relief Project.
