Description:

Leave the resorts and touristy areas behind for a look at the real Hawaii. Visit the homes of kama’aina (locals) to check out distinctive island-style architecture and tropical gardens, enjoying a progressive 4-course brunch along the way.

Immerse yourself in the take a breaked and outdoor-centric lifestyle of the islands on this local-led tour, enjoying a delicious brunch of seasonal cuisine as you tour 3 different houses, ranging from beach cottages to elegant estates. Learn about the architecture in Hawaii, which has been influenced by Japanese aesthetics, plantation and colonial elements, native plants and materials, and a strong desire to bring the outdoors in with large lanais (decks) and courtyards.

Admire the use of rich and charming koa and ohia wood, both trees endemic to the islands. Walk alongside serene koi ponds in lush private gardens filled with mangoes, avocados, and flowering lilikoi (passion fruit) vines. Take in views of the sea and mountains from sprawling lanais, and sip on freshly brewed Kona coffee and guava juice as your guide shares facts and stories about life in Hawaii.

Each stop also features a gourmet array of typical island-style breakfast dishes. Nibble on delicious food like savory Portuguese sausage, sugar-dusted malasadas (donuts), macadamia nut banana bread, and tropical fruits like pineapple and papaya as you chat with homeowners, hear their stories, and get a glimpse of what daily life is like in paradise.
