About our ʻOhana
Our Story
Native Adventures Hawaiʻi was founded on faith, family, and a foundation built for the future. As a Native Hawaiian-owned and family-operated business, our roots on Hawaiʻi Island run generations deep, shaping the way we know, experience, and care for this place.
Native was created from a desire to offer something more personal — an opportunity for guests to experience Hawaiʻi through the perspective of a local family who was born and raised here. From the places we visit to the stories and local knowledge shared along the way, each huakaʻi is shaped by the Hawaiʻi we know and love.
For our family, this is more than a business. It is an opportunity to share what has been passed down to us, support our community, and build something meaningful for the generations that follow.
We invite you to experience Hawaiʻi like a local — with a local — while honoring our responsibility to mālama ʻāina and care for the people and places that make Hawaiʻi so special.
Meet Eli & Loke
Husband and wife, co-founders, and the heart behind Native Adventures Hawaiʻi, Eli and Loke have built their life and raised their family right here on Hawaiʻi Island.
As partners in life and in business, they’ve created a company that reflects who they are as a family: welcoming, genuine, and grounded in aloha. For Eli and Loke, every huakaʻi is personal. It’s about taking the time to connect, sharing a part of Hawaiʻi that means something to them, and making sure each guest feels welcomed along the way.
When you spend the day with Native, you’re not simply booking an experience — you’re spending the day with our family, and by the end of it, we hope you feel a little like part of our ʻohana too.
