Who are we?

Your new friends, lifeguards, photographers and hopefully new favorite tour guides

True Hawaii tours was created in 2014, by Kainoa Ka Ilio Kalohe, who prides himself on taking people on the adventure of a lifetime. When he decided to make showing new friends his beautiful home, a way of life. 

What started as a passion for seeing beautiful smiles, on his amazing friends faces, has now turned into a lifestyle, of creating smiles and life-long memories. We are very blessed and grateful you stumbled upon our page, and we hope we are the lucky ones who get to join you in this extravagant experience of Aloha.

Our Goal

 To treat you like Ohana, care for you, and of course show you those amazing places that Hawaii is best known for. We will be your new friends and give you any and all information that will help allow your trip to be as magical as possible. 

We strive to be more than just tour guides. 

We aim to be your life guide into what Aloha truly means. 

We want to be there for you every step of the way!

Like good family

Who are we?

Local experts planning unforgettable island experiences from arrival to aloha goodbye.

Planning Hawaiʻi should feel exciting… not overwhelming.


Aloha. I'm Jacob, your travel advisor and guide


My journey with Hawaiʻi began at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo, where I fell in love with the islands far beyond the guidebooks. From hidden waterfalls to quiet coastal sunsets, I’ve spent years exploring what makes these islands truly special.

Today, I bring that same passion into every itinerary I design.

As a father, with a large family, I plan each experience with the care and intention I would as if my own family is visiting or I'm seeing the island with my daughter — seamless, elevated, and thoughtfully curated. My clients aren’t looking for big bus tours or tourist checklists. They want authentic access, insider insight, and a refined Hawaiʻi experience that feels effortless from start to finish.

If you’re ready for a personalized, luxury island experience crafted around you, I’d be honored to help you plan it.

Let’s create something unforgettable.


With 13+ years of local experience and over 300 five-star reviews, with my team of trusted guides, True Hawaii Tours helps families, honeymooners, cruise passengers, and adventure travelers experience the islands the right way — seamlessly, privately, and stress-free.

Whether you’re visiting Oʻahu, Maui, Kauaʻi, or the Big Island, we design experiences tailored completely to you.

👉 Tell us about your trip — we’ll handle the rest.
