In the most geographically isolated place on Earth (Hawaii!), she met Delphine Berbigier, another passionate advocate for the island, and the owner of a five-star tour company, Unique Maui Tours. Together, they worked to provide visitors with the most exceptional tour experiences; one that focused on being a part of it all, from a geological, biological, cultural, and historic perspective.

Beth eventually moved to the mainland and Delphine took over the operations. Today, Explore Maui Nature offers extraordinary tours on Maui because you won’t just “see” the best sights. You’ll experience the island with guides who care deeply about its future, and who want to share the intricacies and the beauty that is Maui with you.

From Maui nature tours including birdwatching to hiking and exploring Haleakala and Hana, we can plan the perfect Maui excursion for you to experience this magical isle. Allow us to introduce you to the island’s splendor with great expertise.
Explore Maui Nature also recognizes the importance and significance of diacritical markings in ʻŌlelo Hawai’i (Hawaiian language) including the ‘okina [‘] or glottal stop and the kahakō [ō] or macron (e.g., in place names of Hawai ‘i such as Lāna‘i). However, to provide a seamless online experience for our visitors, these diacritical markings have been omitted throughout our website. While on tour with us, we encourage you to ask your guide about ʻŌlelo Hawai’i and learn proper pronunciation–it is not as hard as you think, and you will have fun trying!

O’o Farm hosts guests through two distinct tour experiences: a Seed-to-Cup Coffee & Brunch Experience and a Farm-to-Table Lunch and Farmer Field Walk, both of which introduce guests to small commercial farming, organic farming techniques, native Hawaiian plants, beneficial insects, crop management methods, and how the farm team cares for the ʻaina sustainably. Both tours are walking farm tours led by a knowledgeable farming team member, making frequent stops throughout the farm, culminating in a nutritious, multi-course meal, served family style, and prepared by the O’o Farm Chef and team.

Passionately founded in 2000 by owners Louis Coulombe and Stephan Bel-Robert, O’o Farm continues to operate with the best interests of the land, the team, and the island community in mind. O’o Farm is united in providing their guests with a unique selection of quality fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and other produce, grown using natural and organic methods, sustaining the “ʻaina” naturally in accord with sound ecological principals and local traditions, enhancing the intrinsic natural beauty of the farm, and hosting and educating guests in an inviting, hospitable, memorable, and celebratory way.

Today, the easement is managed by Hawaii Taro Farm and supports over 12 different farming operations including conventional, transitioning, and regenerative farmers, all existing together with a shared effort to feed the local community.

At Lā Kāhea, our mission is centered around education. Agriculture, Community, Sustainability and Spirituality are our pillars of focus. We advocate/highlight ways to create regenerative change in our world by providing a positive environment and fun opportunities for people to connect and engage with the land and each other.
