About Hawaii-Guide
Our Hawaii Travel Guide was created to assist visitors in planning a trip or vacation to the Hawaiian Islands. Throughout this website visitors will find a collection of entries and reviews of what we believe are the best attractions in the islands. In particular we detail the best sights, beaches, hiking trails, accommodations, and activities. You'll find the most detail on the islands of Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island since we frequent these islands the most, and we've covered Oahu to the best of our ability. We do not currently provide any information on Molokai or Lanai since we have not extensively visited these islands.
Hawaii has an adventure awaiting everyone who ventures to her lovely shores for their Hawaii vacations. In order to really savor the beauty of your vacation it comes in handy to find a nice hotel with affordable prices. If you are looking for a great hotel deal in Hawaii take a look at trivago.com
Our perspective as travlers to the islands is unique; like most of you - we're visitors, not residents. We can provide a unique perspective of how a visitors interacts with the islands and we have tried our upmost to provide accurate, timely and reliable information for our website visitors regarding Hawaii. We hope you have a fantastic Hawaiian Vacation, and we look forward to interacting with you on our website here at Hawaii-Guide.com - Mahalo!
Who we are
Hawaiian Style Organization, L.L.C. was founded by John Derrick in May 2002. From origins as a small Maui photography website, the company developed into a multi-media rich organization. Today the company is run by husband and wife team John C. and Victoria C. Derrick.
Our Philosophy; more than just words...
We believe in being stewards (malama pono) of the 'aina (land) and kai (ocean); and we promote responsible ecotourism and adventures. Hawai'i nei is more than a place to tour, it's a place to experience.
Our Mission
'To provide users with the most accurate, detailed, and up to date travel information available on each and every major spot in the Hawaiian Islands, while continuing to give back to the community, 'aina, and people of Hawai'i.'
