Experience Hawaii adventures from a local’s perspective.
At Mahina Hawaii, we avoid giving people the average tours in Hawaii. We strive to offer a personalized experience that feels more like you’re hanging out with a good friend, instead of feeling like you’re on a tour.
We take our guests to some of the most beautiful and lesser-known spots on Oahu to experience waterfall hikes, cliff jumping, snorkeling, turtles and other wildlife encounters, while sharing our local knowledge with you. Hawai’i is a very special place, and we are thrilled to take you out on an epic adventure day with us!
Hawai’i has a very fragile ecosystem here in Hawaii. It is important that you don’t walk on the reefs, wear reef safe sunscreen (read our blog about sunscreens), keep a good distance from turtles and monk seals, and make sure you leave every place cleaner than you found it. You may notice your guide picking up trash at beaches and hikes. That is to ensure that rubbish doesn’t end up in our oceans, and to leave the area cleaner for the next people to enjoy. We encourage you to do the same while you are here in Hawai’i. Mahalo nui loa.
