Who We Are
Aloha kākou! We’re Bryan and Ali, the faces behind Hawaii’s Best Travel.
Hawaii’s Best started during the summer of 2017 on Instagram as a project out of our aloha for the culture, people, and local businesses.
Over the years, our platforms have expanded. This has led to developing resources through our top-rated podcast, social media network, and this website.
As visitors, we’ve traveled to Hawaii countless times, both for restoration and business. It is our heart and passion to help other visitors travel with aloha to Hawaii.
At the core of everything we do, we want to help you plan your vacation through these resources by keeping Hawaiian culture at the center. We are not travel agents working to get you to book with us. We simply are providing resources for the mindful traveler who wants to explore and experience Hawaii to its full.

Recognized as a leading expert in responsible tourism in Hawaii, our in-depth knowledge and unique insights are a testament to countless hours spent on the islands and interactions with local communities.
This expertise is further solidified as the voice behind our top-rated podcast, Hawaii’s Best Travel, that captivates thousands of listeners worldwide each week.

Acknowledgment
With mindfulness and gratitude, we respectfully acknowledge the sacred land of Hawai’i as an indigenous space, home to the kānaka maoli (Native Hawaiians) who are its original inhabitants.
We also recognize that Queen Lili’uokalani surrendered the Hawaiian Kingdom and its territories to the United States under duress and protest to prevent bloodshed. Today, peaceful demonstrations, assertions of sovereignty, and ongoing cultural healing and revitalization efforts by kānaka maoli continue to inspire.
If you are kānaka maoli, we want to hear your story and discover ways in how we can support and provide mindful resources to visitors.
Ways to Explore
“This is a very informative podcast for those who visit Hawaii and locals. It was too cute of your son giving advice to kids/parents on what to do on flights. Can’t wait to go back and check out sights you mention! It’s also great to learn more about the culture and language prior to traveling there. Thanks for sharing!!!”
