My site is laboriously updated by me as information is relayed to me by the various vendors. Please note that the Free Island Info is at times, difficult to keep up with as facts can change without notice often and over the years many vendors forget that they have the free listings, so please accept my sincere apologies in advance for any inaccuracies :(.

My expertise began with activities & tours primarily for the island of Kauai but for many years now so many of my former clients have encouraged me to add services for our sister islands. I have struggled with fulfilling this promise since 2003, and deeply regret that I made poor progress in that direction and humbly ask your forgiveness. Kauai is my primary focus and expertise and continues to be. Over the years I have created a mulitude of web pages to serve your needs as a cyber concierge for the Garden Island, delivering as much needed information as possible to prepare you for your visit. Due to the enormous magnitude of email requests and nuisance spam mail currently pouring in, answering each and every email has been challenging. Please accept my sincere apologies in advance if any of your emails have gone unanswered. Please feel free to call me directly at (808) 821-1000 anytime should your email go unanswered for more than 24 hours. 

I operate strictly on a referral basis and no payment is required of you until your check-in to the activities. No Deposits are required unless a vendor requires it for large parties. In the majority of cases, a credit card is required only to secure and confirm your reservation. Advanced bookings are extremely beneficial to you and you may alter them without penalty as long as changes are made within the terms of the vendor policies. This may vary from vendor to vendor. We cater to your specific needs and what will fit into your budget, making your vacation dreams a reality.

A bit about Lilikoi: Here I am wearing my mother's old 1950's Muu Muu showing off my hand crocheted original baskets on the lawn of the old Coco Palms Resort, where some of the best Kauai Craft Fairs were held in the late 1970's.  Photo taken by my husband in 1978!

I have lived on Kauai since 1974, and originally arrived on Oahu in 1953. Lucky for me, my mother was born in Honolulu. I was born in China. I visited Kauai for the first time in 1971.  My ancestors were the first group of plantation workers who came to work in the plantations in Kohala, on the Big Island. My Great Grandfather eventually moved to Honolulu and opened up a coffee stand for 5 cents a cup. He complained to King Kalakaua that the royal guards at Iolani Palace were not paying him. Happy to report that the kind King got most of them to pay up! I am full Chinese, but feel very Hawaiian. I love Kauai today as much as I did back in 1974. You will fall in love with it too! I have 4 grown adult children (they aren't children anymore but guess they will always be my children :), one still in college, and a very supportive husband. My youngest is 23 ... WOW! I understand what your needs are in regard to family. I've been dabbling with my art all my life and below is my latest passion.
