About Us

This site is dedicated to Robin's mother, Ruby Harris who passed away on March 7, 2000.  We were privileged to share many trips to the islands with her and Robin's father.  Sharing the time with them added to our enjoyment of each trip and we loved to be their tour guides.  It made every day and activity special to share it with them.  Her last trip to Hawaii was in May 1998.  We will undoubtedly never see the sun set over Molokai from West Maui without remembering her and how special those sunsets were in 1998 as we enjoyed the magic of the islands together.  Below is a picture of Robin with her parents on our last trip with them to celebrate their 62nd wedding anniversary.

If the thought of beautiful beaches, sunny days with an occasional brief shower and refreshing trade winds excites you, we have much in common.  We go to the islands 4-6 times a year to experience them and to keep the material on this web site timely and accurate.

We live in Southern California and love it.  But no other place on earth surpasses Hawaii.  We have traveled to Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tahiti, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Europe, the Middle East, and many parts of the U.S.  We hope to return to some of them, but that will be in between return trips to Hawaii. 

Your time while on vacation is too valuable to spend flipping through a book looking for what you want to do so use our site in planning what you will do before you leave.  Our goal is to inform you of the many options available and give you our reviews as you decide what you want to do.  

The opinions expressed on this site are strictly ours and are based on our experience.  We do our best to experience Hawaii as tourists (which we are) and report accurately to you.   We accept requests to review sites, activities, and establishments in Hawaii, but  we always visit them as anonymous tourists and pay our own way to ensure we are treated the same way you will be treated if you decide to visit them yourself.  While there may be commercial content on some of the pages, our tips are based entirely on our experiences. 

We would appreciate your comments, suggestions, and feedback on the content and format of this site and will reply if requested.  Every trip to Hawaii we discover something about the islands we didn't know or hadn't noticed before.  We are very interested in what you consider the highlights of your trip and whether you agree with the material on this site.   Send us an e-mail by using the feedback button or send an e-mail to us at George@HawaiiTips.com or Robin@HawaiiTips.com.
