I took this tour together with some other ladies and we were a great group. Our tour guide Leihoku gave us the time to really enjoy every stop at sacred heiaus or places along the way. While driving we got all the information regarding the creation of the islands as well as a brief history of the islands, especially connected to the spiritual beliefs and early life in Hawaii. I recognized that these places were really hidden gems, as some of the participants were living in Hawaii, and even they did not know all the places we stopped. The combination of foreigners and locals was a great experience as you get a lot of knowledge, what living in Hawaii is about, which you normally would not get. The healing tide pools included a spiritual and cultural meditation and the Ulopo Heiau is very impressive. We also stopped at other great and wonderful beaches. Leihoku really adjusts well to their guests in regards to what they want and is very caring, so to let everybody feel this tour is just, what you were looking for. Pick up from hotel and drop off at hotel was easy. Bring a hat, sunscreen and water as it can be very hot and sunny and definitely bring a camera. We had lunch at Hare Krishna Temple and ate in the garden which was surprisingly cool, I can honestly say the food was so good, it was the best I had during my whole stay and the prize was very reasonable. I recommend this tour for people interested in the spiritual, cultural and historical life of Hawaiians, which is still dominant today. For example I learned that every new building to be built today gets a blessing at various stages by a Kahuna (Hawaiian Priest). The tour also gives you valuable insight about present-day life in Hawaii. A big Mahalo (Thank you in Hawaiian) to our tour guide Lehoku for that wonderful day! Rita from Germany [email protected]

We took this tour by chance after meeting Simina. We spent around 5 hours touring the Sacred Sites, starting at Honolulu. Each one was carefully considered and the sense of chronology was powerful. Simina brings a lot of joy, Spiritual honour and so much knowledge. The tour shows a deep respect for these ancient sites and shows a very powerful side to Hawaii. It has certainly informed us to learn more. I strongly recommend this Tour and would go again whenever I am in Hawaii.
