Hawai'i Walks is a walking tour company that is historically literate, compelling, and sustainable. Our expert guides all possess advanced degrees and are experts in Hawaiian flora, fauna, and history. Most tours just scratch the surface of what it means to be in Hawai'i, while our guides cover geological and human history throughout the Pacific, present local social issues, and in-depth descriptions of the animals and plants that you encounter. We share this information through the lens of sustainability, discussing the various impacts of industry in Waikiki while providing customers with information they need to be better consumers while visiting the islands. If you're looking for an expansive background on the region you are visiting, join us on our nature and history tour today!
