Please leave everything to Nick your private tour host. He will be full aware of the experience that you are looking for. You may also change your schedule as you want. You have no stress from driving in unknown areas. All the anxiety simply floats away because Nick does all the thinking. You finally have the opportunity to experience the local feeling, see sights that are not so well publicized and enjoy nature that is unparalleled to anything you have seen before.Nik Chase private tour guide
Niks family settled in Idaho in 1885. As a child growing up with nature he explored the hills and countryside on horseback. Often he would serve as a hunting or fishing guide. His connection with outdoors and nature as well as beautiful weather brought him full time residence in Hawaii. Nicks hobbies include golf, surfing and taking care of his children. His wife is first generation Japanese. O'ahu Shopping
