"The Family That Went Down To The Sea"

“Lobo Del Mar” is Spanish for “Sea Wolf”, and is the name of our family owned and operated activity & entertainment company here on the Big Island of Hawaii. The “Sea Wolf” was one of our first live-aboard boats, taking us from the west coast of the United States up north to Alaska, where we lived and worked on the water. After many years of adventure in the last frontier, we left the boat behind - taking with us its’ name, and uncountable memories. Eventually, we made our way down to Old Mexico, and then on to the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii - which for the moment, we all call “home”. Beginning with a jack-of-all-trades Texan and his Georgian wife, their eleven children formed the foundation of what has today grown into a family consisting of over 50 members – four generations of family that all work (and play) in some aspect of the family business.

Besides operating and booking for a wide variety of land and ocean tours listed on this website, Lobo Del Mar also runs a family restaurant, handcrafts old world musical instruments and original hand-wrought jewelry, as well as entertaining many venues with our large music and dance troupe that performs island wide.

After years of being asked to write a book about our life aboard, a passage was opened for Mom to preserve memories of our unique & unconventional lifestyle. This foundation formed by our parents remains anchored in us; their eleven children and our extended families.
