About Hawaii-Guide and Tradewind Creations LLC

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 (land), and people of Hawai'i.'
 

Hawaiian Style Organization, L.L.C. (a subsidiary-company of Tradewind Creations, 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. Between 2003-2004, the company was assisted by Angela Jenkins and Debby L. T. in significant research and expansion of the Hawaii-Guide site and forum. Today the company is run by husband and wife team John C. and Victoria C. Derrick. Presently, Hawaiian Style Organization, L.L.C. produces photography prints and artwork, travel planning media, maps, assorted merchandise, and a series of guidebooks (the Mile by Mile series). All profits made by the organization go back into the development of this website.
