It seems that in many places we visit, tourism is so rampant (if you will) that there aren’t enough tour guides that are native to an area. We went on a kayak trip the other day in Kona, Hawaii where the guides were from Long Beach and Colorado, so we didn’t get a flavor of native culture. On the flip side, my wife and I just got back from a tour of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park with Warren Costa of Native Guide Hawaii. It was an excellent tour where we learned so much that my head is about to explode! If you’re on the Big Island of Hawaii, we definitely recommend a tour with Warren.
