You will not miss any of the popular picturesque beauty of the island while at the same time you will be exposed to the depth of the authentic Hawaiian culture, history and spirituality, the wisdom of the elders, and their connection with the nature of Polynesia.
Our small group tours (up to 6 people) will immerse you in surroundings so you can feel a unique connection to a specific place and its particular importance and be embraced, maybe even shifted by the experience. We will introduce you to legends of gods and goddesses from Hawaiian and similar Polynesian cultures; you might witness chanting, movement, prayer, song - any number of ways in which the human spirit shines forth in the world and inspires peace and joy. The Kahu or Kumu will bring Aloha energy into every aspect of your tour. As you journey with us you will come away warmed, relaxed, and ready to absorb even more of the beauty that the islands have to offer.
Some of the locations of this tour are Makapu'u lookout (with a view over the healing tide pools), Byodo-In Buddhist Temple in the Valley of the Temples, Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden and Ulupo Heiau State Historical Site.
