A Passion For Exploring...
Aloha! This is Demian Deas, the owner. I'm originally from Charleston, SC, raised in Manhattan, NY and mostly California. I've lived in Maui for over 11 years, but have been exploring the Hawaiian Islands for 27 years, due to my father having lived in Lanai and the Big Island since 1989. I grew up doing ocean sports in Cali and Hawaii, was an avid lap swimmer for 14 years, have extensive experience hiking in Hawaii's beautiful forests and jungles! And have been exploring internationally since the mid 90's.
Currently, I am triple Certified from Maui Mauka - Nature Based Tourism, First Aid/CPR/AED Certified from the American Heart Association; with a Motor Carrier Permit from the Public Utilities Commission, and a Department of Land and Natural Resources Permit for exploring that much more! So, you're in great hands for an informative and exciting day!
