My Philosophy

My philosophy is simple. I don't offer any tourist-type tour. Never has a day with one client been repeated exactly like another. You hire me as your very own private guide for the day; EXCLUSIVELY, WITHOUT  STRANGERS.

I have found that with no one else distracting your ideal program, more of your needs are met. As part of the service, I consult with each customer before embarking on the adventure, assessing your needs and vision of what your special day might be like.
 

I tell you to imagine you had your very own guide showing you THE BEST of the island, and to tell me what that should include for you to be satisfied. You tell me the kinds of things you like to see and do that make you happy. Then I suggest the kinds of places and activities you might enjoy. Your input will help make your day special and memorable.
 

"So many thanks for such a wonderful, uplifting day. It was a VERY SPECIAL day for us and we thank you. You are everything and more that we heard about you!"

At the Heart of Each Open Eye Tour are the Following Goals of Eco-Tourism:

  • Conserving our precious natural resources, reusing & recycling whenever possible
  • Holding the indigenous culture in highest esteem, and being sensitive to regional customs.
  • Preserving fragile ecosystems by using more well-established trails & authorized roads.
  • Supporting the local economy by purchasing foodstuffs & handicrafts directly from homesteads & farms, favoring small & family-run businesses.
  • Leaving intact each place as it is found, including living things, their remains, & artifacts.
  • Caring for the safety & well-being of people, plants, & animals. 
  • Offering healthy, hands-on "local style" activities (like tide pool exploring, wild fruit & flower gathering, palm frond weaving.)
  • Suggesting resources for further study on subjects of interest, providing continued opportunities for learning.
  • Actively contributing to organizations, groups & individuals which perpetuate the above principles.
