How I Got Started

ALOHA! My name is Landon and I am the owner and operator of Hawaiʻi Ecology Experiences. I started HND in 2019 as a passion project that quickly grew into one of Hawaii's most premier ecotours. My goal and aim was to introduce people to the amazing underwater world and its inhabitants and to leave people with a deep appreciation and desire to care for and protect our marine environments.

My life and education have led to the creation of HND. From the time I was a young kid I was constantly diving and exploring my local reefs and the animals that lived there. A growing passion and love for the marine environment led me to pursue an education in the field.

I graduated from BYU-Hawaii with a B.S. in Marine Biological Sciences. Additionally I hold professional freediving certifications and work as a professional Padi Divemaster. With my education, training and personal experiences I started HND with a clear goal; introduce people to the experience of a lifetime and help educate them about our fragile oceans so that they too may become advocates and stewards of our oceans and the animals that call them home.

I am very excited to meet you and bring you into my underwater world. Feel free to reach out with any questions and I will see you soon.
