Highlights
  • Moanalua Middle Ridge - Always wanted to make it to the top of the Haiku Stairs? This could be your chance. Moanalua Ridge is a legal route, but it is a challenging one. The reward is worth it. Even if the view is obscured by clouds, this is an iconic spot. If you want to do this hike, I would be happy to help you do it safely. Be prepared to get muddy and sweaty!
  • Crouching Lion - Did you want to hike up to multiple high peaks in the same day instead of one extremely long hike? There are many to choose from and I can pick the best one for you based on the weather, your experience level, and the challenge you’re feeling up for. Options include Crouching Lion, Kuliouou, Deadman’s Catwalk, Lanikai Pillbox, and many more secret, less trafficked ones you may not be as familiar with.
  • Lulumahu Waterfall - Wanted to experience an epic Hawaiian waterfall? We have several to choose from, including Lulumahu, Mauniwili, and Kapena. 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.
  • Lanikai Beach - I can take you to some less trafficked beaches, but if you wanted to go to Lanikai beach we could do that too. This is an iconic fine sand beach that is good for snorkeling or for paddleboarding. On a calm day it’s possible to paddleboard to the Mokes, the small islands 1 mile off the beach, depending on size of group and paddling experience. Let’s coordinate before hand so I can either bring snorkel masks or paddleboards. If spontaneous I will still have some adventure gear.
  • China Walls - China Walls is hard to describe in words, easy to understand in pictures. A cliff over looking the ocean, this is an adventurous place for cliff jumping. It can be dangerous though, as the entry and exit points are directly over the cliffs. If the waves aren’t agreeable it can be hard to get out. We can check it out, evaluate the situation, and only go in if it looks safe. This is also a great spot for sunset.

Additional Information

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? Paddleboard or snorkel off Lanikai? Climb the island’s highest peak? Go to a totally secret spot with amazing views? I will customize your private adventure tour to you and push you out of your comfort zone while keeping you safe.

What are you waiting for? Let’s do it. Be ready for mud, sweat, adventure, and unforgettable memories!

Unforgettable mountaintops to beaches! - Travis was awesome! We booked a week or two before our trip to Hawaii and Travis reached out to gauge what we wanted to do and what we were up for. We ended up deciding to see a whole bunch of stuff an Travis planned an unforgettable day starting off with a waterfall hike, heading into cliff jumping, spent some time lounging at the beach and ended with a SECOND hike! Every spot was beautiful and off the beaten path! Travis was also super knowledgeable about the island and able to provide recs and advice on other hikes and activities that helped make our stay great! Every tour is different and a great time!

Wonderful day of adventure - We had such an great time on our hiking tour with Travis. It was a series of different adventures. First we hiked through rugged forest path to a beautiful waterfall. Than we went into a magical bamboo forest. We stopped for lunch at the cozy little coastal town. Than we hiked to the mountain ridge to enjoy incredible views. We relaxed on more secluded white sand beach and swam in clear water Our day concluded with another mini hike to a natural plateau above the ocean, with the beautiful view. I highly recommend this tour!

Favorite day of our trip - Highly Recommend - We had an AWESOME day of adventure with Travis. He communicated with us a few days prior to the excursion to plan out the perfect day fitted to our interests. From waterfalls to cliff jumping to smoothies to beautiful overlooks, this was definitely our favorite day on the island. If you want a day of adventure with an Oahu expert, book a day with Travis today! He is a professional risk taker who is kind and very adaptable to whatever you need.

BEST DAY ON THE ISLAND! Stop looking at other options and book Travis now!! - THE BEST DAY! Travis came to our hotel to pick us up, then took us for an awesome all-day adventure. We did an incredible hike to a waterfall, went cliff jumping, and then ended the day with a short hike with an insane view. Travis was truly an Oahu expert, and he was so flexible to change plans/offer multiple choices so that we got to do everything we wanted. It was our favorite day on the island. Highly recommend booking a day with Travis if you want to get all the local secrets and for a day of adventure.

Amazing hiking experience - Had an awesome time!! Loved the hike up to the Lulumahu waterfall. So beautiful!! The most challenging but rewarding part of the trip was the Kuli’ou’ou Ridge Trail. Steep incline but so worth it. Struggled a little bit but so glad he pushed me to finish it. Most amazing view!!

Getting out of Waikiki!! - I had an amazing day with Travis! I was travelling solo from the UK, having never been to Hawaii. Before going on a tour with Travis, I was based in Waikiki for a week and couldn't drive around the island. I mentioned that I was happy for Travis to bring any friends along for the adventure, and he picked me up from my hotel with his dog and his friend Sofia. Immediately I felt comfortable with Travis and Sofia - they are such lovely people, and we had some great chats. Travis took me on two smaller hikes to a waterfall, which was so beautiful and a mountain view with a fantastic vista! We also had some downtime on a few beaches that I wouldn't have been able to get to on a less personalised tour. The hikes initially seemed challenging - but Travis and Sofia were really encouraging, and gave helping hands on the more difficult parts. All in all, I had a wonderful time, and if you are looking for a more personal and unique experience, where you can get into nature, I would recommend Travis, who is very passionate about hiking and is flexible to whatever needs you may have on the tour.

The adventure that I needed! - For me, this was the perfect way to kick off the first serious vacation I've had in a long time! Travis was understanding, a good listener, and came up with a good plan for the day despite not knowing exactly what I wanted besides adventure and maybe some cliff diving. Ne-lani was a very nice bonus for dog lovers. Fearless and friendly, that's for sure! Got tons of great photos, and had fun learning more about hawaii. Had a few pleasant surprises along the way as well, but I will not spoil that. He pushed me past my comfort zone just the right amount, and thankfully that sense of travel euphoria I experienced long ago came back to me...

Outdoor Fun on Oahu - Great day with Travis! Even though tropical storm weather required a change to our plans, he quickly pivoted with a new plan that fit the day's forecast. He is knowledgeable about outdoor activities on Oahu. We had a nice time snorkeling, swimming, hiking to the pill box, stopping at local viewing areas, and even grabbed lunch along the way. Overall a lovely day!

Good customizable experience, but questionable transportation vehicle - We got off the 'tourist' path - that's what I wanted. We hiked to a nice waterfall, not Waimea. Had a lovely 'local' swim at a secluded cove with rock jumping and hiked the crazy 'Honeymooners' loop with amazing views, slightly dangers slopes, seeing very few people. The issues: guide's car- really dirty- couldn't see though the dirty windows and the backseat seatbelt was broken- a safety concern. Travis was fine as a guide.
