Have you ever wanted to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef, surf Bali's famous lefts, or have a close encounter with lions in Africa? With modern air travel no location is beyond your reach. The real question is how to get the most out of your time on your vacation. There are plenty of tours set up to cater to the masses, but these days people are seeking a more personalized way of traveling that takes you beyond the normal tourist attractions.

My name is Dai Mar Tamarack. I set up, provide expertise, and lead personalized tours around the world. My unique skill set allows me to offer a trip for you unlike any other, that can be shared with friends and family through your personal interactive travel blog. I am a marine biologist, master captain, scuba dive master, surfer, educator, and professional photographer. As we are on your adventure I create a travel blog chronicling your experiences. Not only does this allow people back home to share in your adventure as it happens, it also provides a wonderful photo journal to look back on after the trip is over. You will also be given a complete copy of the photographs documenting your trip.

Kim, USA-- "The blog of the boy's adventure was sensational! As we poured over the pictures and text, we all felt as though we were sharing in their experience. I shared the site with family and friends but by the close of the trip, I was astounded by the number of people who were not only following the blog, but who actually reached out to us to inquire about the boy's adventure with you. The blog created a sensation. Congratulations. It was spectacular."

I am lucky that I grew up with two world traveling parents. My father took me to far off places in search of wildlife in Kenya, Costa Rica, and Botswana, while my mom exposed me to cultural and historical places such as China and Southeast Asia. Since then I have traveled by myself, with friends, and led trips through 6 of the world's 7 continents. I first started guiding trips by assisting my father's wildlife safaris through Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and across central and southern Africa. This is when my love for sharing the experiences of traveling began.

I specialize in wildlife safaris, surf, dive, and adventure traveling. If you are seeking an adventure rather than a normal vacation contact me at:

Mary (USA) - "I recently had the pleasure of working with Dai Mar Tamarack to put together a trip-of-a-lifetime to Africa. I had previously met Dai Mar as a guide on an Un-Cruise expedition to Hawaii in 2015. My whole family and I were incredibly impressed with his overall  knowledge, sense of adventure, and teaching ability. I then asked him to plan and lead a private family trip to Africa over the Christmas holiday in 2017. Dai Mar did all the planning and logistics for 13 people coming from multiple cities without a flaw! Even more importantly, he was able to recommend and help to lead a safari adventure through Kenya and Tanzania, as well as a scuba and snorkel adventure at the end in Zanzibar. I would highly recommend Dai Mar for any adventure that a group could cook up"


Myles, USA--"Without a doubt, Jack and I would not have had as rich, as full or as adventurous an experience as we had if you were not there leading us through every country we explored. Your vast travel experience, expansive knowledge and quest for exploration turned each stop into an incredible educational experience, life lesson or amazing adventure. As we look back, we are awe inspired by how much we actually did in such a short period of time. It was truly a trip of a lifetime and a time in our lives that as brothers we will remember forever."
Australia, Bali, New Zealand, Fiji Trip- 2013

Patty, USA - "..thank you for this wonderful experience. It was one of my life long dreams and you made is so much better than I ever imagined. Your enthusiasm for the area was infectious."

Secret Maui Waterfall

Image
  No matter how quick a trip to Maui might be there will be hidden gems found and great times had. After a little snafu with my flight I made it standby to Maui, picked up my rental car, and rushed off to meet my friends on the road to Hana. We met at Frog Pond, one of our favorite swimming holes near the beginning of the road to Hana. After some rock hopping and cliff jumping here we decided to check out the hidden waterfalls at mile 11. I'm not sure what the name of these falls are but there are two of them, each with their own swimming holes. It is just off the highway but separated by lush jungle. A rope swing beckons the adventurous and rocks warmed by the sun give you more than enough reason to while away the afternoon.

Hidden Ulupalakua Lava Tube, Maui

Image
  High above the crowded beaches of South Maui lies a hidden secret adventure that only those in the know will ever experience. Hidden only a thousand yards or so off a well traveled road around 4,000ft in elevation sits a massive cave which angles slowly down the side of Haleakala volcano. The amazing formations inside and the cave itself were formed by lava, creating an underground tube to transport the lava farther down the slope of the volcano. The same thing can be seen actively happening on the Big Island currently. Luckily this lava tube is all dried up making it much safer to explore. However the loose rocks and obvious cave ins leave some cause for concern.   Part of this adventure is just finding the entrance. This included a dirt road, a jeep trail, jumping an old stone wall, then bushwhacking through dense brush for about tweny-five minutes before finding the lava tube entrance. It was surrounded by ferns, just like the famous Thurston Lava Tube in Volcanoes National

Search for Chameleons, Maui

Image
  You never know what might be hiding in your backyard. Here on Maui there have always been tales of people finding Jackson's chameleons in their bushes. The trick is to travel a few thousand feet up Haleakala volcano to Makawao, Pukalani and Kula towns where the temperature is a little cooler and it is a bit wetter, perfect conditions for chameleons.   There are no native reptiles on Hawaii. These beautiful chameleons were released or escaped from the pet trade. Luckily they have not become invasive like many other introduced species, however they have increased in population and seem to be doing quite well in the higher elevation areas. Heidi and I went on a search the other day at our friend's house in Kula and were shocked to find a dozen different chameleons in her side yard hedge. They were mostly at eye level, and were curled up asleep for the night. We found them easily enough with flashlights since they seem to sleep near the outer edge of the hedge at night.   W
