About Discover Paradise Adventures

Your Local Guides to Big Island Adventures

Our Story

Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, we've spent our lives exploring every hidden waterfall, secret beach, and volcanic wonder this magnificent island has to offer. What started as sharing our favorite spots with visiting friends has grown into Discover Paradise Adventures - a passion-driven tour company dedicated to showing travelers the real Hawaiʻi.

We believe in small groups, authentic experiences, and sustainable tourism that respects both our land and culture. Every tour is led by local guides who don't just know the facts - they know the stories, the legends, and the spirit of aloha that makes Hawaiʻi truly special.

When you tour with us, you're not just a customer - you're ʻohana (family). We're here to create memories that last a lifetime while treating our island home with the respect it deserves.
