Why Open Eye Tours?

"He gave us a tour that seemed like a National Geographic tour. Excellent in all ways!!!! We got a glimpse at a beautiful culture different from ours."
Keith and Carol Blandford
McKinney, TX

Whether you're feeling outdoorsy or not, you're likely to be the only people around at some of the more unique stops you'll make during an Open Eye Tour, so photos can be taken in settings not usually found! You'll have fun while you learn about the island's evolution, plants of medicinal and cultural significance (with seasonal sampling of fruit and other edibles), language, history, legends, chants, music, and food. Let me entertain you!

Once you've confirmed, I then get to work planning a one-of-a-kind educational presentation just for you from my hundreds of files, prepare other special surprise treats, and arrange for our delicious, healthful meal(s) from the best local markets or cafes! We maintain ethics of responsible tourism on each trip.

Take advantage of my experience as teacher and professional published photographer, with Hawaii residency since 1982.
