E komo mai…Welcome, I’m Mike.

For over four decades, I’ve had the privilege of guiding amazing guests into the hidden beauty of Kauai. What began as a boyhood spent exploring secret trails, reefs and beaches with cousins and siblings has grown into a lifetime of creating meaningful, private adventures for discerning travelers from around the world. Designing epic and fun filled vacations that honor the spirit of my island home is not just my work — it’s my deepest joy.

Born and Raised between the mountains and shores of Kauai and OĘ»ahu, I bring a heritage of hospitality, a lifetime of “on the ground” local wisdom, and a spirit of gracious service that was passed down through generations. Grandma taught me KĹŤkua — the art of gracious assistance which was instilled in me by my Hawaiian kupuna “elders”, and today it guides everything I do.

🌴 A Legacy of Devotion to Service

As Kauai’s best vacation planner, I work exclusively with guests who seek more than a trip — those who desire a personalized, effortless island experience. Whether you’re here for a quiet escape, a milestone celebration, or the filming of a major motion picture, I offer complete discretion, seasoned guidance, and unwavering care in every moment.

My role blends many forms — private island tour guide, personal assistant, private consultant & local concierge, and trusted friend. I plan and lead unforgettable experiences that reflect your pace, preferences and vision, and privacy needs. From accessing Kauai’s most secluded sites, to orchestrating private chef dinners, helicopter charters, or intimate cultural moments, I ensure every detail is exceptional, safe, and authentic.

🎬 Trusted by Hollywood, Grounded in Hawaiian Values

Over the years, I managed Kauai’s largest most exclusive North Shore estate — a sprawling 16 acre oceanfront villa frequented by global VIPs and Hollywood families. I’ve served as a private guide for A-List actors and on site assistant (Read More)

…during filming for major films like Just Go With It, with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler

…during filming of Pirates of the Caribbean, where I assisted studio teams and in estate for lead actors,

….and Tropic Thunder, filmed on the estate and around Kauai. I’ve also led location scouting and production support for other studio shoots across the island. My clients trust me to handle sensitive needs with discretion, foresight, and heartfelt aloha.

But just as important as what I do is how I do it. I offer service the Hawaiian way — grounded, generous, and full of kindness and warmth. Kahiau, or selfless generosity, flows in my veins. You’ll feel that in the way I anticipate your needs, as we “talk story” to find out about each other, in the relationships I’ve built across my island, and in the quiet confidence that only comes from decades of first-hand knowledge.

🍍 Luxury with Soul — The True Spirit of Kauai

Luxury here is not just about high end exclusivity. It’s about sincerity. It’s about knowing the right spot for sunrise, the quietest afternoon beach, the chef who still cooks with his grandmother’s recipes. It’s about feeling like a guest of the island, not just a visitor.

“Arrive as Guests, Forever Friends.”

This is more than my motto — it’s the foundation of everything I live for.

If you’re ready to experience Kauai with purpose, comfort, and soulful elegance — I’ll be here to welcome you with the kind of care that’s rare in today’s world. AND im always anytime open to questions or directions from where ever you are.
