 kia
orana and a bit about Pa
Trekking in the mountains started when I was four years
old. My Grandmother would send me to gather and count
leaves and herbs for traditional healing. This is how
ancient knowledge was passed on from one generation to
another.
Little did I realise I would become a herbalist of
traditional remedies and lead over 3572 tours to date
for many visitors to the island.
As I grew, escaping to the mountains was a source of joy
instead of the hum drum classroom routine. Nature was
unspoilt and birds did not appear to fear man.
A love of showing visitors the pristine wild interior of
our Rarotongan mountains led to becoming a bonafied
business.
Keeping in shape was also a driving force and to share
it with others. Pa's Treks commenced in 1987 when my
girlfriend [ now my wife] sketched a cartoon picture of
me standing on top of two mountains.
Next day the hotels and motels were alerted to a new
activity of hiking. It was a great way to entertain
their guests.
Guests tell me it means so much more to have a personal
experience and communication and so much safer.
I operate a professional guided tour and encourage
guests to appreciate the eco system and Polynesian way.
I look forward to meeting you when you visit my home,
Rarotonga.
Kia manuia,
Pa
