ABOUT THE OWNER
As a young boy, Daniel Hildebrandt traveled from Germany to Hawaii with his parents to vacation. He fell in love with the Hawaiians, the ALOHA, the Culture and the beautiful nature of Hawaii. He told his parents as a 12 year old kid; “I’m gonna live in Hawaii some day”. Nearly 25 years later, he found a job in Hawaii and moved to Oahu.
After working in an office for the first two years after his move, Daniel realised he needed to be outside to enjoy the REAL Hawaii. “I didn’t move to Hawaii to sit in an office. I already did that in Germany”. With the last money Daniel had in his Bank Account, he bought an old Town& Country Mini Van; Rusty, No Leather… but that was all he could afford the down payment for. Hungry to succeed he started driving tours, targeting the German tourists. It didn’t take long to find out that this very small niche wouldn’t pay the bills.
After a few months Daniel started to offer english tours on Viator, TripAdvisor, GetYourGuide and through his own websites DanielsHawaii.de and DanielsHawaii.com. Hawaii helped him succeed. The ALOHA Spirit was everywhere he went. With a little bit of help and a lot of dedication, Daniel grew the Company into what it is today – One of the best rated Tour ACompanies on Oahu!
