Diamond Head was a beautiful sunny day and the view was great. We finished the climb early, but he picked us up right away and took us to the next spot. When I told him that I wanted to go to this tree and what tree it was, he said he would gladly work out a schedule for me and take me there! and he was able to take me there. My daughter got sick on the way there, but he was very flexible and very reassuring with his words of concern! In the car, you were very attentive to our many stories and questions, and we had a very productive time! We would be very happy if you could guide us again next time!
