About this experience
Afraid of missing out on the real Oahu? Don’t waste any time in Waikiki. Escape the tourist trap, ditch the crowds, and hop in with a private adventure guide for a personal tour of the island’s most iconic, secret, and scenic spots. Enjoy an all day adventure of jungle, waterfalls, ridgelines and panoramic views with stops at the most beautiful beaches.
Most tours cram you in a shuttle and take you on the same route to the same few crowded places. Let’s do something entirely different. Do you have a bucket list goal for your time in Hawaii? Always wanted to climb up the back of Stairway to Heaven? Wanted to go cliff jumping into a pool under a waterfall? Snorkel a local spot? Climb a secret peak for breathtaking views? I will customize your private adventure tour while keeping you safe. Solo travelers, couples, and families are welcome. This is your tour!
What are you waiting for? Let’s do it. Be ready for mud, sweat, adventure, and unforgettable memories!

Itinerary and highlights
Wanted to experience an epic Hawaiian waterfall? We have several to choose from, depending on the difficulty of the hike and weather. A few of these are good for cliff jumping all the way from small and safe to intense and extreme. Depending on what you're up for I'll take you to the perfect waterfall, and yes, I will take some pictures.
Depending on your fitness level and desire for adventure, instead of Lulumahu Falls we will go even more off the beaten path through the jungle to a difficult to access waterfall with a private swimming hole.
If you're tired after a morning of hiking, let's take a break to cool down at a local's beach. This beautiful beach park is just beyond Lanikai beach, but instead of attracting a mass of tourists, this beach is more of a local's beach. Enjoy natural shade, peaceful breeze, a broad sand beach, and easy swimming 365 days of the year.
If you still have energy after the waterfall hike and want to hike to a scenic viewpoint, we can make that happen. We could go to Lanikai Pillbox, Crouching Lion, Kuliouou, Hanauma Bay Ridge, Deadman's Catwalk, or other, depending on weather and desire for challenge.
On our way back into Honolulu we'll stop by the infamous Spitting Cave to witness the power of the ocean. When a large swell pushes into the cave, a fountain of water bursts forth. This is a popular and dangerous cliff jumping spots for locals, but we'll just watch.
