This podcast is a great source of information for Hawaii travel. The main host sounds like a regular dude, and makes listening an easy thing to do. Keep it up!

He begins every single episode by complaining that other podcasts exist and absurdly claiming that he’s the only person who is allowed to talk about Hawaii. Never mind that he’s a white guy from the mainland. He might give a minute or two of solid travel advice then the rest is advertising for his travel agency.
Great informative show! 🌴☀️🏖️🐠

I’ve been listening to this show for about 4 months and figured I’d give it a nice review. Although I didn’t use Bruce to book my trip (I used points and miles because my husband rakes up a ton for business travel) I still find Bruce’s tips timely and informative. I think he is a great podcast talent although he claims not to be! The episodes are short and easily digestible. Love that he closes the show with a shout out to his “beautiful wife Yaling”. I just think that’s so cute and the sign of a good person. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to him and his company for your travel booking needs to Hawaii. He has lived on Hawaii close to 30 years and I believe started his travel company 22 years ago. He knows his stuff!
Very Helpful
