Dustin

Founder

Aloha, my name is Dustin, founder of Paradise Adventure Tours. I am one quarter Native Hawaiian, Filipino, Cherokee, and Caucasian. I grew up in the Tri-state area (Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana) but was raised with strong Hawaiian philosophies.  My Tutu (Grandma) gave me my Hawaiian name, Keali’ikai at 10 years old. Keali’ikai translates into “Prince of the Ocean”. Dramatic right but fitting as I love Scuba. My Hawaiian name was given to me before I had ever even seen the ocean but maybe my Tutu knew something I didn’t when I was just a kid. Now the ocean is my life and I started this business so that others may share the beauty and passion for the ocean they may not know they have inside of them.
