Experience Hawaiian Culture 

 
Experience the Aloha
     Leilehua Yuen offers personalized tours and cultural activities on the island of Hawai`i. If you are interested in the culture of Hawai`i, as lived by Hawaiians, join her in the beautiful city of Hilo for classes, workshops, private tutoring, or to prepare for your own personalized tour of Hawai`i, including motorcycle tours, and alcohol-free tours.
     Leilehua is descended from the Namohala family of Hilo, although her great grandmother moved from the Big Island to Hanapepe, Kaua`i upon marryingYuen Nim in the late 1800s. In the 1920s, Leilehua's grandfather, Dr. Henry Yuen, returned to Hilo with his bride, Thelma Stephenson. Leilehua contines to reside in their old home.
     Raised in the beauty, stories, music, dance and aloha of Hawai`i, Leilehua is an ideal guide for those who want to see the Hawai`i of Hawaiians.
     Visit spectacular waterfalls, awe-inspiring deserts, and places famed in the history and legends of Hawai`i. Leilehua will tell you stories of each place and the plants and animals found there. You can even learn some hula if you choose! For information, phone Leilehua at 1-808-935-YUEN (935-9836) or e-mail her.

Proud member of EarthFoot

EarthFoot is a global organization of small eco-tour operators  who are dedicated to preserving our local native cultures and ecosystems. Membership is by invitation only. We do not charge a membership fee, prefering to invest in the intangible web of life which makes us all one.

In over 30 countries, EarthFoot hosts, in their own small way, are helping to preserve and protect their native environments. They are educating both their own community members and visitors in the value of their native cultures. And they are documenting as much as they can before it is lost forever. This work is especially poignant to EarthFoot members because so many are natives of the areas in which they operate, and all feel the kinship inherant in being members of our Earthly global community.
