Oahu Nature Tours was founded in October, 1995 by Michael Walther. Born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in Los Angeles, California, he first visited Hawaii in December, 1972 for several months. In 1980, he moved to Kauai and while living in Poipu Beach, he became interested in the native honeycreepers that survived in the remote Alakai Wilderness. With a friend, he visited the swamp-like area and attempted to see the rare O-o, Akialoa, O-u, Nukupuu, Puaiohi and Kamao. Unfortunately none of these endangered species were found, but he was able to observe the beautiful Iiwi, Apapane, Amakihi, Anianiau and Elepaio. In November of 1980, Michael returned to the mainland. Google PR -
