My husband and I have been coming to Hawaii for more than 25 years and more than half of the places we went to on this tour were places we had never seen before. It was Amazing and Eva’s knowledge and respect for these very special places was thoughtful and engaging.

My sister and I had already taken a standard tour of Oahu but wanted a more peaceful and personal tour. We booked Off the Beaten Path Spiritual Tour and were not disappointed. Our tour guide, Leihoku met us at the Banyan Tree in front of the Honolulu Zoo. We traveled in a very comfortable Mercedes van. During the tour we visited many Historical sites and she gave us the history behind the Hawaiian Culture.
At one of the locations we paused to give an offering to the gods. At another we took the time to meditate with her. All in all it was one of the most relaxing and informative tours I have ever been on. Thanks to Leihoku we left Hawaii with a vast knowledge and understanding of the Hawaiian Culture.

My mother and I booked a small group off the beaten path tour, and luckily ended up with a whole tour to ourselves. We learned so much about the island, its history, got to see beautiful locations and spiritually significant sites. Our guide Eva was wonderful, clearly appreciative of her surroundings and passionate about sharing her knowledge of the people and the land. 10/10 would recommend!

Eva met us at the zoo early in the morning. After introductions, we jumped into her car and she proceeded to take us around the the south-east of the island. Eva was extremely knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture, history, spirituality. Eva was accommodating, friendly, and showed us how to ring the bell properly at the Buddhist temple. The family enjoyed the day tremendously. I would recommend Eva to my friends and family and anyone coming to Waikiki. Thank you Eva!!!

Our experience on the Sacred Sites tour was nothing short of wonderful and extremely eye-opening. Our guide, Simina, was super knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She helped us understand the culture and history behind different religious and spiritual sites around Oahu. Being a tour of only three people, everything was super personalized and questions could be easily asked. We wish this experience was more popular, because we had the time of our lives!

We really enjoyed our tour with our wonderful guide Kahu Kapiolani. This tour is perfect if you are interested in learning about Hawaiian culture. The focus was on visiting spiritual sites that you won't get on most tours of the island. Our guide was knowledgable about healing traditions, medicinal plants and Hawaiian mythology which made our tour feel very special and unique.

The handwritten thank you note and small parting gift provided to each of us was a lovely touch.
