Based in Oahu, EMI Hawaii specializes in receptive services exclusively for tour operators and groups, both student and adult.
“For over 15 years, EMI Hawaii has assisted our tour operator partners in providing unique experiences for group travelers,” says David Adkins, the company’s owner.
History tours take travelers to the USS Arizona Memorial and the USS Battleship Missouri to learn details of the Pearl Harbor attack. The tours showcase Pali Lookout, an ancient battlefield with breathtaking views and remarkably strong winds; Iolani Palace, where visitors can learn about the Hawaiian monarchy and see the royals’ artifacts; and the site where the Great Polynesian Migration of 600 AD occurred.
Travelers can also attend an authentic Hawaiian luau, where they’ll hear stories of the Polynesian people who inhabited the islands before Captain James Cook produced the first written document in Hawaii in 1778.
Stories are told through chanting and, of course, hula dancing.
EMI’s Rainforest Waterfall Hiking Tour takes guests through Hawaii’s lush rain forests to discover the giant native ferns, streams, unique animal species and tropical waterfalls. The trail, a site where Steven Spielberg filmed part of “Jurassic Park,” leads to Oahu’s tallest accessible waterfall, which is surrounded by a towering prehistoric landscape created by a volcano in the Koolau Range.
“Whether you’re young, middle-aged or a mature world traveler looking for new experiences, Hawaii is one of the most magical places on earth,” he says.
