Earl and Lois Kloppenburg started their business in 1950 with the opening of Guam Factors, a gift shop specializing in sales of imports from the Orient. Their business holdings grew to include the Specialty House, Earl's Hut, The Office, Tapa Room, Hideaway and Coffee Pot restaurants.

In 1964 they consolidated their businesses into Kloppenburg Enterprises Inc. In 1966 they founded Pacific Island Caterers (now LSG) and in 1969 opened Earl's Huts (40-unit hotel), Turtle Tours, a transport and charter company, Paradise Pier, a water sports activity center in Merizo, and Turtle Cove, a 60-unit A-frame campsite with water and recreational activities including fairs featuring craftsman and dancers from Guam and Micronesia.

Today K.E.I. consists of Turtle Tours whose major accounts include R&C Tours, DFS, K-Mart, Onward Beach Resort, Fujita Hotel, Guam Tropical Fruit World, The Shopping Express Bus System, Adventure River Cruises and Iruka (Dolphin) Watching Adventure Tour. Additionally we own the following optional tours: Eco Adventure Tour, Iruka Sun Tour, Nautilus Guam Tour, and Agana Bay Sunset Cruise Tour. We will continue to develop new tours as the market dictates and package our existing tours to create more value for our customers.
