Native Guide Hawaii is not just an Ecotour company; it is a means of gaining cultural awareness and insights into Hawaii that you can only get from someone from within the Hawaiian culture. Other tour companies may have Hawaiian or “local” guides, but we are native Hawaiian owned and operated.

According to Warren:

“My goal is to have each and every one of you come away from your experience with a sense of having really participated in something real and fulfilling. I don’t stick to any kind of rigid itineraries or plans, if there is something interesting that you want to do or see that is not on the schedule, we'll go!”

At Native Guide Hawaii you are not a tourist – you are a participant.

Our scheduled tours and hikes are easy to moderate.

We get wet. If the weather is severe or life – threatening we may cancel a trip or choose an alternate location.
