At Flight of Aloha, the excitement of soaring above breathtaking waterfalls and lush Hawaiian landscapes is only part of what makes the experience unforgettable. Behind every thrilling ride is a passionate, dedicated team that brings the magic to life. Whether welcoming guests with a smile or working behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly, each team member plays a vital role in creating a journey that’s as seamless as it is exhilarating. In this post, we’re thrilled to introduce you to the incredible individuals who make Flight of Aloha soar — and share a little bit about the heart, hustle, and aloha spirit they bring every day.
Meet Jacob Agard, a 22-year-old ride technician for Flight of Aloha. Born in Honolulu and raised right here in Kailua-Kona, Jacob is a proud graduate of Kealakehe High School. In addition to his work with us, he's a skilled live audio engineer with a deep passion for music.
When he’s not keeping the ride running smoothly, Jacob enjoys writing and playing music. He’s a multi-instrumentalist, fluent on the guitar, drums, bass, and ukulele. His favorite music genres? A unique mix of metal and island reggae.
Meet Berri, a proud mom of one with baby number two on the way. One of her favorite pastimes is heading to the beach with her son to hunt for seashells and soak up the sun.
Berri also gives back to her community by coaching wrestling at Kealakehe High School. As a deeply family-oriented person, she treats all the students she works with like her own—offering encouragement, guidance, and genuine care.
“I love helping people grow and find their path, even when life feels off track,” Berri shares. “It means so much to have someone in your corner—and I try to be that person.”
With a warm heart and a strong sense of purpose, Berri aspires to be not just a great co-worker and leader, but also a true friend.
Meet Nailea – born and raised on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaiʻi.
In her free time, you’ll likely find her at the beach, relaxing with her family, or getting lost in her favorite shows. Nailea is all about spreading joy and aloha wherever she goes.
Her warm personality and caring nature help create a comfortable, safe space for everyone around her—making people feel seen, supported, and at home.
Meet Kavy, but everyone calls her Ceci. At 26 years old, Ceci was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi.
She has a passion for photography and loves paddle boarding near the King Kamehameha Courtyard by Marriott. When she’s not on the water, you can find her relaxing at the beach with her beloved fur babies, Mauka and Harley.
An avid animal lover, Ceci also works at PetCo as a junior pet stylist and bather. She adores all her doggie clients, but pitbulls hold a special place in her heart.
Meet Faith, born and raised on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaiʻi.
Faith loves spending her time writing, reading, dancing Tahitian, or simply enjoying the beach. She believes deeply in showing aloha to everyone she meets, because making people smile and spreading good vibes is what truly lights her up.
Meet Sol – a proud Big Island local with a deep love for the ocean, ʻohana, and great food.
In his free time, you’ll find Sol surfing, hunting, or diving for fish in the waters he grew up around. A true family-oriented guy, Sol also has a big passion for sports and never passes up the chance to enjoy delicious local eats from around the island.
Sol recently joined Flight of Aloha as a technician and says he genuinely loves being part of the team.
