Our ohana (family) has been sharing Hawai`i with visitors since 1948. Despite the passage of time, our original commitment to visitors from around the world has evolved into the legacy that leads our company today.
As a locally owned and operated company, our passion is to assure our guests experience picturesque beauty and breathtaking adventures at locations that are unknown to most visitors. From lush volcanic mountain ridges, towering waterfalls, verdant valleys and exotic ocean reefs, our adventures lead you on an unforgettable journey from the rainforest to the reef.
Whether your exploration is by bike, hike, sail, snorkel or kayak, your day with us is certain to be a highlight of your lifetime travels. All of our adventures are designed with your flexibility and value in mind: you can experience them individually, over multiple days, or capture up to four adventures in one day. You will also experience the genuine pride we take in caring for each guest through exceptional service and hospitality.
As you review our collection of Rainforest to the Reef adventures, if at anytime you have a question, feel free to reach out to us directly by email or telephone (toll free from USA and Canada).
Aloha,
