What Guests are saying:
“Spending time with Kerri Ann during my trip to Waikiki completely changed my vacation for the better! She shared incredible tips on local activities and amazing food spots that you will never find on algorithm-generated travel lists. Kerri Ann has a deep knowledge of the local community, history, and people. She is a natural connector who brought together great food, unique activities, and fellow travelers seamlessly. She listened to our personal travel style and helped us plan the perfect itinerary. Everyone needs a local fixer when they travel. Kerri Ann and Sparkle Up are exactly that!

“There are two ways to see Waikīkī: the tourist tracks, or the secret version you find with Kerri Ann. If you are on the fence, don’t overthink it, just book it! Trust me. Right after booking on Airbnb, she sent clear directions to a meeting spot that was super easy to find. Kerri Ann has a long history in hospitality which shows in how thoughtfully tailored the entire tour is. She is a true local, and hearing her stories about growing up in a place of "forever summer" was incredibly special. She took us to hidden spots and fed us a couple of things that were absolutely delicious. She led us to two restaurants we’d never have found alone one with a fascinating, special theme, and another that was just incredibly unique and hidden. Along the way, she shared the stories behind the vibrant murals and pointed out fruit trees we would have completely missed. Best of all is her heart. My husband is on the spectrum and talks a lot when excited. Kerri Ann is lovely & has the patience of a saint.”
