    My sister and I had already taken a standard tour of Oahu but wanted a more peaceful and personal tour. We booked Off the Beaten Path Spiritual Tour and were not disappointed. Our tour guide, Leihoku met us at the Banyan Tree in front of the Honolulu Zoo. We traveled in a very comfortable Mercedes van. During the tour we visited many Historical sites and she gave us the history behind the Hawaiian Culture. At one of the locations we paused to give an offering to the gods. At another we took the time to meditate with her. All in all it was one of the most relaxing and informative tours I have ever been on. Thanks to Leihoku we left Hawaii with a vast knowledge and understanding of the Hawaiian Culture.

    Eva met us at the zoo early in the morning. After introductions, we jumped into her car and she proceeded to take us around the the south-east of the island. Eva was extremely knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture, history, spirituality. Eva was accommodating, friendly, and showed us how to ring the bell properly at the Buddhist temple. The family enjoyed the day tremendously. I would recommend Eva to my friends and family and anyone coming to Waikiki. Thank you Eva!!!

    Our experience on the Sacred Sites tour was nothing short of wonderful and extremely eye-opening. Our guide, Simina, was super knowledgeable and extremely friendly. She helped us understand the culture and history behind different religious and spiritual sites around Oahu. Being a tour of only three people, everything was super personalized and questions could be easily asked. We wish this experience was more popular, because we had the time of our lives!

    Simina was patient, thoughtful and informative. She was attentive to our needs. Very security conscious. Perfect driver in our comfortable Mercedes’ van. She took her time to share the Hawaiian culture stories. What an amazing tour.

    We really enjoyed our tour with our wonderful guide Kahu Kapiolani. This tour is perfect if you are interested in learning about Hawaiian culture. The focus was on visiting spiritual sites that you won't get on most tours of the island. Our guide was knowledgable about healing traditions, medicinal plants and Hawaiian mythology which made our tour feel very special and unique. The handwritten thank you note and small parting gift provided to each of us was a lovely touch.

    Our tour included wonderful insights from our guide Simina and beautiful views of the island. Would go again and encourage others to explore the island’s spiritual heritage.

    Leihoku was a great guide, knowledgeable and spiritually connected. She tailored the discussions to my spiritual interests and that made it amazing.

    Our guide Simina was amazing. She was super knowledgeable and open to making different stops because our group was small. She made sure we were okay with all of the stops we made and made sure everyone was comfortable. Very cool to see some areas that are sacred to to natives.

    We had a wonderful time on this off-the-beaten tour. Between the small group and hitting up sites that we wouldn't have ever found or gone, it's definitely something different from the standard circle island tour. Bring something for the possible chance of rain as you will be in the mountains.

    My family and I went on a sacred sites tour and it was absolutely amazing. Even my father and brother who were not as interested in spirituality/meditation enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide, Simina/Leihoku was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history and culture and told us many interesting stories. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oahu to better understand its rich and beautiful culture and to visit some of the most special places on earth.
