    "Hi Eric, Thanks for such an enjoyable, informative, and personalized tour! I was the teacher originally from New York who was the only one on the volcanic coastal tour on February 3. (I appreciate the digital picture.) I can't stop thinking about all the beautiful scenery, plants, AND BIRDS that I saw on Oahu with you. You taught me so much about the islands; I am still impressed with your vast knowledge. I wish I was back in Hawaii. If I'm ever there again, I will definitely take another one of your tours. For now, I'll just have to recommend it to my friends. Take care!"

    "Touring with Lorraine was one of the highlights of our recent trip tp Hawaii. It was so enjoyable listening to someone with such a diverse knowledge of the land, culture, politics, environment, history, etc. of Hawaii. She took us way beyond the picture book of Hawaii to a better understanding of the delicate balance between the development and preservation of Hawaii. I left with a greater appreciation of Hawaii and it's ability to endure such dramatic changes over the past 250 or so years. Keep up the great work!!!"

    "Thank you Michael for the greatest tour of my life. You are better than "National Geographic"! Your enthusiasm and concern were consistent and your love of nature and environment was catching. I was impressed with your desire to educate the public on the past and present environmental issues in Hawaii. I have your autographed book,"Natural Images of Hawaii" ,right in front of me. I have shared it with my family and friends. If I come back to Hawaii I would definitely like to go on another one of your tours. Thanks again and I wish you every success in your business!! "
