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

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.

Who is Tom Barefoot?

My name is Tom Barefoot (yes that’s my real name). I came to Hawaii in 1973 from San Diego California at the age of 24.

Within a year and a half of my arrival in the islands I began Tom Barefoot’s Tours, selling tours and activities in Hawaii and have been operational ever since. Over the years my company has grown from a one-man operation to a network of many tour and activity specialists.

My son Jake came into the business as the Director of Human Resources, after his graduation with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a Certificate in Management of Human Resources from Southern Oregon University in June of 2007

I live in Olinda Maui, on a retreat property with the love of my life, Doreena Larisch. We operate an aromatherapy farm and spa dedicated to the education of the use of essential oils in creating well being and promoting healing and overall health.
