the
Island of

Papa will do the driving and
will show you where to go and what to see. There is no itinerary. You
plan the
day with Papa according to your interests. It is a custom
tour. He may suggest a hike through a stream bed or through a bamboo
forest. You may swim under a waterfall in a fresh water pool... or
enjoy a picnic at a remote beach. He may suggest a snorkel at the best
locations, explore the little roads and towns off the beaten paths.
Papa will share a wealth of knowledge about Hawaiian History or his
book. With very little
encouragement, he will sing Hawaiian or his personally composed songs
of Hawaii and the sea.
