THE MALAMA DIFFERENCE

We Don't Just Show You Hawaii — We Share It

Malama Tours is a Hawaii-based guided tour company operating small-group day tours, multi-day tours, and group travel across Oʻahu and Hawaiʻi Island.

Most tours move you through the highlights. Malama goes deeper.

Our guides aren’t reading from a script — they live here, know the history, and can take you to places that don’t appear on any itinerary. We keep our groups intentionally small so every guest gets the experience they came for, not a seat on a bus.

From Pearl Harbor to volcanic craters to hidden North Shore breaks, every Malama journey is built around one goal: making Hawaii real for you.

Got one of the best ATV rides on the island. The views were unreal, and the staff made everything feel safe, smooth, and respectful to the land. You’re not just riding—you’re learning about the area too. Highly recommend if you want adventure with real local insight.

We booked a very last minute tour which they were so gracious and accommodating and was able to work out a private tour for our family. We loved it seen parts of the island we would have never been able to see and we were so thankful to them and especially our driver Darlene she was so sweet and very knowledgeable about everyplace she took us. I would highly recommend you book with Malama Tours and ask for Darlene if she’s available definitely a 5 star plus tour and driver Thanks for a beautiful experience for our vacation and giving us beautiful memories to last a lifetime

I booked the sunset snorkeling cruise with Malama Tours. The process was easy and straight forward. Shuttle was right on time and our driver (Sergey) made our drive to the boat super interesting and entertaining. The cruise was terrific and we saw fish, dolphin, turtles, and even seals! The crew in the boat were all very nice and made our cruise memorable. Highly recommend using Malama Tours for any of your adventures. Pricing was also terrific.
