In Business For Over Thirty Years

We think it could be stated with some degree of authority, that a company could not be in business for over thirty years without providing a service that clients find useful. We manifest our usefulness in a number of ways.

Not only does Tom Barefoot's Tours provide the largest selection of Hawaii tours and activities available in the islands (we currently offer over 2000 tours, activities and adventures) but they are sold at very low prices without having to attend a Time Share presentation. In fact our "Low Price Guarantee" ensures that your Hawaii tours and activities will be competitively priced.

Our staff is the best you will find anywhere. Our knowledgeable agents are dedicated to providing you with the very best service possible and will go out of their way to make certain your Hawaii tour and activity experience is exactly what you have been searching for. A number of our staff members have been with us between 10 and 20 years and the newest ones have been hand-picked and are the best and brightest that the Hawaii tour and activity industry has to offer. Our staff will carefully listen to your individual and unique circumstances and assist you in recommending the most excellent Hawaii tours and activities possible.

Listed below you will find a taste of the Hawaii tours and activities we have to offer. As you explore deeper into our website you will be exposed to a much more in-depth coverage of the Hawaii tour and activity industry as it exists in the islands today.

If you're looking for tours and activities in Hawaii you've come to the right place.

We've been booking Hawaii tours and activities for over 30 years and our Hawaii tour and activity selection is the largest you will find in the state of Hawaii.

Tom Barefoot started this company back in 1975, selling Hawaii tours and activities from a small booth on Front Street in Lahaina, Maui. As time passed the number of Hawaii tours and activities that he booked also grew. Originally his efforts were localized to simply the island of Maui selling only Maui tours and activities but over time grew to include selling Hawaii tours and activities over the entire state.

As Tom's business grew his staff selling Hawaii tours and activities also grew as well. At first Tom Barefoot's Tours consisted exclusively of Tom himself selling Hawaii tours and activities from his modest Front Street booth. Today, you can see by the employee photos on this page that the company has expanded greatly.

Over the years, hundreds of thousands of clients have used Tom Barefoot's Tours to book their Hawaii tours and activities and Tom Barefoot's Tours has been recommended by "word of mouth" and by numerous publications including:

• Frommer's Travel Guides
• Fodors Travel Guides
• Complete Idiot's Travel Guides
• Hawaii for Dummies Travel Guides
• Best of Hawaii Travel Guides
• Rough Travel Guides
• Lonely Planet Hawaii Travel Guides
• Moon Handbooks Hawaii Travel Guides

Steve and everyone at Tom's:

I have dealt with your company for many years now and no matter what island I visit, which I do at least once a year, you have always assisted me in the seeing and doing the very best sites on the islands. I cannot thank you enough for your assistance and knowledge. I know that you are always the first one I call when I get ready for another visit to the Islands.

Mahalo and Aloha,

Hello,

My first visit to Maui on 10/2007 was FANTASTIC! An all girls trip w/my 2 best friends & sister & boy, what a memorable trip that was! The highlight -snorkeling @ Molokini. Unfortunately, my sister got sick our 2nd day into our vacation & couldn't go, but the 3 of us will NEVER forget how much fun we had! I raved SO much about my snorkeling trip that my sister wants to return to Maui this coming April so she can experience the warm, friendly, funny staff you guys offered. It's a "re-do" of Maui for my sister & I'm tagging along =).

Thanks for a memorable trip & for taking MY fear of swimming in the water, let alone, the Pacific Ocean! Can't wait to go again this April!

Aloha!

Dale,

Good morning. I have "been gonna" write to you for several weeks now and I haven't done it, so here I am. I can not begin to thank you for all of your help and assistance in setting up all the activities for our family when we came to Maui in June. Everything you set up went smoothly and everyone had such a wonderful time. With 14 of us going it could have been a disaster had things not been handled correctly. We all appreciate everything you did. It was especially nice that I could relax and enjoy myself too because I didn't have to worry about all the reservations not being handled correctly. It was wonderful.

We will definitely pass along your name and company to anyone we hear of that is going to Hawaii. Take care and I wish you all the best.

Thanks again.

Sheryl A. McKissick

Hi Andreas,

Thanks to Tom's Barefoot Tours we had the time of our lives. We traveled from New York City to get married on the romantic island of Maui. Andreas took care of all of our excursions while on the island. We loved Tom's Barefoot Tours so much that we will be returning to Hawaii this April for our one year anniversary and will do business with this company again and again.

From an Umbrella on Front Street to Hawaii's Best and Most Trusted Tours and Activities Company

Since 1975, Tom Barefoot's Tours has provided the best discount tours and activities on the Big Island of Hawaii, Maui, Oahu and Kauai. At first, we were a one-man operation providing information about the various tours and activities available on the island of Maui.

In those days, we were located at the corner of Front and Hotel Streets next to the picturesque Pioneer Inn in downtown Lahaina. The base of operation was a booth, not unlike a neighborhood "lemonade stand" handcrafted by the founder.

From this modest pulpit, we perfected our craft and have grown to help travelers from far and wide discover the splendor of the Hawaiian islands. Today, Tom Barefoot's Tours' headquarters is located in Kahului, Maui at 250 Alamaha Street.

Tips from Tom Barefoot (Tips 6-10)

#6 - Tip From Tom Barefoot:

Bring a camera to Hawaii.

You might also want to bring or buy a water-resistant disposable camera that can be used on your snorkel trips for underwater pictures or on any tour or activity where your camera might get wet. Disposable cameras take surprisingly good photos.

#7 - Tip From Tom Barefoot:

In Hawaii, the Sun's strength is very noticeable.

It's tropical, it's hot, and the Sun's UV rays can be very damaging. While you are in Hawaii, make sure you apply plenty of sunscreen particularly between 10 am and 3 pm.

#8 - Tip From Tom Barefoot:

In Hawaii, children are welcomed on most activities, with some exceptions.

Most horseback riding companies will not take children, although a couple of them will. Scuba diving requires a minimum age of 12 years. Infants under two years are allowed on helicopters free of charge, if they're over 2 they're charged full fare. Height is a deciding factor in some activities. A child usually has to be at least 4 feet 10 inches tall for the downhill bike rides and a least 3 feet tall to ride on the submarine.

#9 - Tip From Tom Barefoot:

In Hawaii, expect to be inundated with every imaginable form of advertising the moment you set foot in the airport and for the rest of your time on island.

Many of the coupons and discounts you will find in the publications are misleading at best. Many are designed to be a "bait and switch" or a "come on" to a "time share presentation" at worst. Just be forewarned that things get very confusing once you arrive on island and in most cases its better to arrange and plan your vacation before you arrive and avoid the waste of your valuable vacation time.

#10 - Tip From Tom Barefoot:

In Hawaii, please be careful with the waves and surf.

The waves and surf are very beautiful and very fun, but they can also cause serious injury for those who are not cautious. Always make sure you know that the place you choose to enter the water is safe. Ask about the ocean conditions if you're not sure. Never turn your back to the waves and don't get too close to the shoreline if you're just admiring nature's beauty.
