Back to the Beginning…

Founded in 2010, Hiking Hawaii began as a small, intimate tour company showcasing O‘ahu’s hidden gems through a local lens. While big operators ferried busloads of visitors to the island’s most famous spots, we focused on sustainability—running fuel-efficient vans and issuing every hiker a reusable water bottle.

When our guests returned from the trails craving something wholesome, we started serving simple sandwiches and snacks. Before long, demand grew beyond the hiking community: locals began dropping in daily, drawn by our healthy, vegetarian-friendly and gluten free options and laid-back vibe.

After three years in our original space, we moved into the DoubleTree Alana by Hilton—doubling our capacity and welcoming an even wider audience. Today, we’re known for award-winning dishes made with thoughtfully sourced ingredients from local businesses including Kahumana Farms, Hawaiian Paradise Coffee, and Sky Kombucha for creative vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and a commitment to environmental stewardship that runs as deep as our roots.

Looking Ahead

To venture into this new chapter the Design Agency we worked with back in 2018 chose to acquire both Hiking Hawaii and Hiking Hawaii Cafe to give it the necessary energy and resources it needs to realize its true potential and position itself as the greatest experiential tour operator in Hawaii.

Although we were forced to pause operations of our tour company after COVID, the new ownership group is excited to bring them back soon—combining delicious meals with guided adventures once more. Whether you’re here for a post-hike energy boost or just a taste of local aloha, Hiking Hawaii Cafe remains your gateway to island life.
