Kokua “Gracious Service”

Aloha, I’m Mike… designing and sharing wonderful Kauai adventures with present day vacationers is my favorite purpose in life and sincerely comes easy. Long ago kid days, living within my islands stunning beauty and exploring all the valleys, trails and beaches with cousins and siblings gives clarity in honoring my upbringing and my cultural hawaiian heritage. No surprise, every day learning from the dirt and salt brought knowledge, the aina insists on deep appreciation and endless gratitude in how rich and vibrant and special this island is.

With four decades working in Hawaiis visitor industry, my lifetime participation in all styles of upscale island hospitality has fueled me to the obvious today. From the caves of Na Pali, hidden beaches, deep trails into the isle core, ziplines and atv tours, taking amazing guests with me is second nature and beyond a privilege and my pleasure. Kahiau, “selfless generosity” is deep in my marrow, Kokua “being of service” was instilled by endless calm and exceptional warm manners from kupuna. As a part Hawaiian born and raised native, island themes and traditions seasoned my character and upbringing on Kauai and Oahu. Values were taught and morals instilled by family example. Compassion and giving of oneself are qualities that resonate throughout his life. My wisdom comes from having tried or employed by all of the islands outdoor venues, regular visits to the many restaurants and knowing where the most beautiful scenery can be found. And what to avoid as unsafe or untested. I was a dedicated Maui county fire fighter/EMT handling extreme situations on Molokai, Lanai and Maui. As an Oahu county life guard, sharing my respect and love of the sea meant remaining vigilant of hazards. Opening “Roy’s” restaurants on Oahu and Maui, “Hanalei Bread Company” general manager and opening team leader on Kauai kept me in deep love of food and wine.

I was hired for many years as general manager and property caretaker for Kauai’s largest and most exclusive north shore estate, rented by high profile Hollywood celebrities and VIP families, where many movies were filmed. Merging enthusiasm and local wisdom with thorough competence, I fostered trusted relationships with many Hollywood families, world dignitaries and business leaders. My respectful handling of their special requests and gracious discretion has kept my portfolio full of returning friends and guests. My motto is always… ~Arrive As Guests, Forever Friends

During high school on Oahu and latter years on Kauai, I’ve worked at“ Outrigger Hotels” as a concierge, with“Blue Hawaiian” helicopter as a concierge, Kauai’s “Na Pali Adventures” private boat tours first mate, “Princeville Ranch Adventures” guide and escort, private escort for the lead actors, personal guide & assistant to clients in the estate for Paramount & Sony Studios filming “Just Go With It”, “Pirates of the Caribbean” ,”Tropic Thunder”, as locations scout/production assistance for other Kauai made movies, limousine driver, and many more Hawaii companies. My extensive experiences in all facets of upscale hospitality allows me to gratefully flourish within my amazing community in offering authentic vacation moments for all.

Kilauea Neighborhood Board member, volunteer and donations for various local and national organizations are lovingly ongoing.
