Opportunity to acquire a longstanding tour operating business in Kauai County, Hawaii, with diversified revenue streams, established contracts and an experienced management team. Operating since the 1980s, the business has developed a strong reputation within Kauai's visitor activity market, serving premium clientele through established commercial relationships and repeat and referral bookings. The business generates $2,271,000 in gross revenue and $762,620 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings. A key strength is its contract-supported recurring revenue, complemented by multiple income streams that provide diversification and operational stability. The business employs 10 staff members, including six full-time and four part-time employees. An established management structure oversees daily operations, allowing the current owner to work approximately 20 hours per week. With appropriate oversight and management arrangements, an incoming buyer may be able to reduce direct involvement further, potentially moving toward an absentee ownership model.
