About Hawaii Guide

Hawaii-Guide.com (HawaiiGuide.com) was founded in 2002 by John C. Derrick. Today the site has a small but very dedicated team of Hawaii Guide experts. Annually, our website, guidebooks, and media packages help millions of Hawaii travelers. We work with a large and diverse assortment of local businesses and vendors throughout the islands, as well as a variety of accommodation and activity providers.

At Hawaii-Guide, we all believe in being stewards (malama pono) of the 'aina (land) and kai (ocean); and we promote responsible ecotourism and adventures. We all know that Hawai'i nei is more than a place to tour; it's a place to experience! In the spirit of Aloha, our official mission is as follows:

"GuideofUS Hawaii's mission is to provide Hawaii visitors with pertinent travel information about viable and sustainable attractions, thereby promoting conscientious services and contributing value to the local community so that the islands of Hawaii nei will endure as a place to authentically experience for generations to come. "

We sincerely know that we are all truly blessed to be here, to exist in a pono way, and to serve both the visitors of this site and the community we represent. Mahalo for your support! To learn more about us, our history, and our team members, please visit our About Us page.
