Premium Pearl Harbor Tour - USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Top of the Tower & Lunch

Well worth the time and money

Reviewed by: Wally F

Our group thoroughly enjoyed this excursion. Our tour guide/bus driver, Garfield, was amusing and extremely knowledgeable. The bus was very comfortable.

We recommend this excursion to anyone interested in seeing the WWII sites at Pearl Harbor as well as the Punchbowl Cemetery.

Home of the Brave Pearl Harbor & Military Base Tour

Wow - what an amazing tour this was

Reviewed by: Meg Amor

This Home of the Brave tour was absolutely fantastic. We looked at a lot of tours but this one sounded the most interesting. And it certainly out to be so.

From start to finish our brilliant tour guide Olav told us fascinating and riveting information on the Pearl Harbour attack - a lot that we didn't know! He is a mine of information and as a tour guide he was one of the best I've ever been on a tour with. Great easy style, marvellous interesting information, and a good sense of humor. He got everyone organized without any fuss or muss and was fun to be with.

What this man doesn't know about Pearl Harbour - I wouldn't think is much. He had pictures and played big band music, clips, and riveting information on all sorts of levels, fun, factual, historical, the spies, the politics, the battle. Very very good.

I would highly recommend this tour. Nice smallish group - about 20 people and it was easy. Loved this tour. Excellent leader and well worth the money. Thanks

Spectacular Haleakala Sunrise Tour with Park Admission & Breakfast at Cafe O'Lei

Haneakala Sunrise Tour

Reviewed by: DrSteggy

This was the first thing my husband and I did on our first trip to Maui--we did it the first full day we were there, and that turned out to be best because we were sort of awake to catch our 2:15 am tour bus (we are from the east coast, and were very early risers the whole trip)

Our guide was very knowledgable about the volcano and surrounding area, and took us on a very nice tour. he even slowed and pointed out a pair of nene for us. On the downside, there were some spots we would have liked to spend more time, but this can't be helped with an organized tour. On our next trip, we'd likely do this on our own, but its smart to take the tour your first time.

The Surf Bus North Shore Fun Tour - Snorkel, Bike, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Waterfall

Highly Recommended!

Reviewed by: Nat C

My husband and I took this tour recently while in Hawaii and it rocked! Our driver was Sam and he was great. Very knowledgable about Hawaii and offered some really interesting tidbits of info. He was laid back, friendly and very engaging. This tour is great because you have the freedom to choose your activities and even traveling in a group you are not forced to select the same options. You can add activities on site which was also a plus. We were dropped in each location for about two hours and were free to eat, wander and otherwise do as we chose. There was a lady in our group that was by herself and she really enjoyed herself as well. Hailewa town was cool to wander around in and my husband even had time to kayak there and join me at the shops. Free water and juice was also a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour if you are headed to Oahu!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets with Island Sightseeing Tour

Do not do this first

Reviewed by: Roy C.

We took the tour on the first day after arriving and it was too much too soon. I am sure we would have enjoyed it more had we been rested but we were worn out.

The tour does go to all of the spots but you get very little time at any of them and the stop at the Dole Plantation is not long enough to do much of anything.

Visiting Pearl Harbor was the main reason I wanted to go to Hawaii. This tour was Superb!!! Nick was our tour guide, and he was so good at showing us everything and telling us things that you'd never find otherwise.

Pearl Harbor Full Tour - USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Submarine & Aviation Museum

Pearl Harbor Tour

Reviewed by: Sue from Sydney Australia

When I booked this trip I had researched many other companies and chose this one as it concentrated on Pearl Harbor offerring a full day comprehensive tour of this amazing site .
The tour exceeded our expectations, with Wes our informed and humorous bus driver and the amazing guides at various parts of the Pearl Harbor site all contributing to a very positive experience at this awesome harbor. It is an awe inspiring experience to stand at the place where the war commenced for the USA with the horrible loss of precious lives ,and even more spine tingling, standing at the exact spot where the treaty to end the war took place. The experience was enhanced by amazing informative guides and I would strongly recommend this particular tour for anyone going to Pearl Harbor.

Home of the Brave Pearl Harbor & Military Base Tour

History in the Making

Reviewed by: Russ & Barb

My father was stationed in Pearl Harbor for four (4) years commencing one (4) month after the attack. I wanted to at least have a hands on experience as to what he went through and the conditions during that specific timeframe.

Jim was the consummate tour guide. His knowledge of the "inside" and side-bar stories of the Pearl Harbor attack, many focusing on the US Army Air Corps participation, enhanced all of the stops we made: the USS Arizona Memorial, Wheeler Field, Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter and National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl National Cemetery). These stories fill in the spaces that most of us have in our knowledge of the attack. In fact, I was extremely impressed with Jim’s knowledge in areas that I had not heard and/or read about over the years of conversation with my Mom and Dad and/or studies associated with this part of our history.

I especially enjoyed Jim’s setting the scene at all of the stops. He wants to place you in that place at that

Pearl Harbor Full Tour - USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Submarine & Aviation Museum

Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri

Reviewed by: Ron and Gayle Colby

This tour was booked as a surprise to me by my husband, Ron, and our daughter on the occasion of my 70th birthday, along with a two-week vacation to Hawaii. I have long wanted to see the USS Arizona Memorial, as my father and stepfather were both in the armed services during World War II. The tour is given by a sharp US Navy crew and the dignity and remembrance of our gallant fighting men of all armed service branches is preserved. There are always some in the tour group, usually under 30, who haven't a clue as to what the horrors of war are; their actions echo their folly. The Royal Star drivers were knowledgeable and humorous when appropriate. The tour on the USS Missouri was given by Marc and you would've thought he was there as he described the battleship's statistics and history. The reality of what war does to people who are in it, no matter what side they are on, was once again brought home. I am so glad this was arranged by my thoughtful family. It took awhile for me to

Polynesian Adventure Tours was fabulous - great, knowledgable guides and they pick you up super early so that you get there before the big crowd for a front row seat (it gets surprisingly busy).
BRING WINTER CLOTHES (if you think to book it before traveling) otherwise buy sweaters or a jacket or blankets or all of the above...the 3x suggestion of warm clothing on your "to bring" list is not kidding - i wore 4 sweaters and was just comfortable - pants, scarves, gloves a must!!!
Stunning views, definitely a must see

Road to Hana Tour with Waterfall Swim, Black Sand Beach and Lunch at Hana Farms

Beautiful Drive - Narrow Road

Reviewed by: Sherry

This was a great tour. We were able to see a lot of the island. The first part, up to Hana, was beautiful! Our tour guide pointed out places that were historically important, and various Hawaiian plants. He also told us which plants were native to Maui and which were brought over in canoes from other Pacific islands as well as what the plants were used for. Very informative! I would not recommend driving to Hana yourself; the road is narrow - one lane in a lot of places, with hairpin corners, and mostly on the side of the cliff. The drive around the back side of the volcano was not so fabulous. It was a very dry climate there so not as lush and beautiful. We pretty much just drove through that area. Made the tour seem kind of long.

We went on the 5 hour hike and had a blast! This was by far our favorite activity on Maui. The rainforest was beautiful! We saw 4 waterfalls, 3 with pools that we were able to swim in. Our guide, Helga, was very friendly and informative. She explained about the many varieties of plants and fruits on the hike as well as sharing other information about the island. We were able to pick and sample guavas fresh from the tree! This was an easy hike through some of the most beautiful scenery on Maui. I would highly recommend this activity!

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

あんな空見たことありません

Reviewed by: Anny

ハレアカラ山にレンタカーで行くか、ツアーで行くかで悩んでいたときにインターネットで検索してこのツアーを見つけました。

お手洗いが常に心配な私にとって昼以降の出発で、休憩もたくさんあるという内容に安心感を抱き、申し込んだのですが・・・

参加してみて、とにかく感動することでイッパイでした。トイレの心配ばかりしていた自分などすっかり忘れて、みたことのない澄み切った空、視界に広がる大きなハレアカラのクレーターはまるで宇宙のどこかの惑星に来たよう!!夕日の沈む瞬間も本当にどこかの星へ来たような錯覚を覚える風景でした。

日が沈んだ後に、「空を見ていいというまで見てはいけませんよ」といわれ、ずっと我慢しGoサインが出たときにみた星空は本当に圧巻でした。

天の川ってこうなっていたのか!!と本当に驚きました。北極星の見つけ方も理科では習っていましたが、自分の力ではその方法で見つけられずにいました。しかし、高機能なポインターで私でもわかるように、北極星を教えてくださり、やっと自分の目で北極星を見ることができ感動しました。

本格的な望遠鏡で色々な星、惑星を見せて下さり、理科で習ってきたことを自分の目で実感できた一日でした。

星を見ながら、お話して下さったことは結婚したばかりの私たち夫婦の心の中に大きく響き、これからの私たちにとって節目節目において心の支えになっていくのは間違いないと感じています。

ハレアカラ山頂 夕日鑑賞+星空観測ツアー 1名~参加OK!グループや家族連れにおすすめの貸切プランあり<午後/日本語ガイド>

壮大な大自然の中で

Reviewed by: てるちゃん

8月21日にはじめてマウイ島にきました。9歳の娘と2人でレンタカーも借りたのでですが、マウイは山道が多く運転も大変そうだし、観光名所も初めてだとわかりにくそうだったのでAlan1さんで探してこのツアーに参加させていただきました。
決め手は山ピーさんの日本語ガイドでリピーターがたくさんいらっしゃるという書き込みでした。私は英語が苦手なのでやはり
日本語ガイドが1番です(笑)
当日は山ピーさんの引率のもと、大阪から来た3人兄弟のいる5人家族と私と娘の8人で出発しました。
子供が4人いたのでにぎやかで楽しいこと!大人もみんな気さくに話せる方々だったのでなんだか友達の家族と旅行に来ているようでした。クリスピードーナツを食べ、バンに描いてある絵の画廊がある町などを探索していよいよハレアカラに向かいます。ハレアカラは日本の富士山の高さのある山だそうで(高い!)、頂上まで全部車で行けます(すごい!)。
ベテランの山ピーさんが少しずつ体が高所に慣れるよう1000メートル、1500メートルなどの地点で休憩をはさんで下さって、運転もとても上手なのでかなり高い所にいきますが、苦しくなったりは全くありませんでした。
ワイワイ(意外と話の内容は理科のお話で知的)言いながら「雲を食べるぞー!」と登って行き、雲の中に来た時に車の窓を開けてもらいみんなで口を開けて雲を食べました。雲を抜けるとそこはどこまでも続く青い空と雲の海!車を降りて立った景色は
天国かしら?と思うほどの見たこともない世界
そこから見た夕日は本当に美しく壮大で感動しました。
360度のパノラミックな大自然の中でみた日没は生涯忘れないと思います。日没後に見た降るような無数の星空☆も素晴らしいものでした。
子供たちも大人もみんなそれぞれ地球の命を感じ、自分ひとりで生きているんじゃなくて、生かされているんだということを体感できた素晴らしいツアーでした。
山ぴーさん、本当にありがとうございました。また参加させていただきたいと思います。

先日は長い時間お疲れ様でした。
とにかく楽しい時間でしたね~やはり大阪の子供達は根っからの芸人で
お腹から笑わせてもらいました。
もはや最後は娘さんの取り合いで盛り上がりましたね~。
火星も金星も土星も反射望遠鏡で見れて子供たちもびっくり!
きっと子供達も忘れられない時間になったと思います。
帰りの車中はさすがの子供たちも電池が切れたように寝ていましたけど、、笑
純真な子供達といると心が洗われますね。
またの再会を心待ちしています。

Royal Star Pearl Harbor Experience with Tickets to Arizona Memorial & City Tour

Informative Tour

Reviewed by: Iain F.

This may not be the best for younger kids but if they have any interest in the worlds history then this will be perfect. The memorial is breathtaking and a real tear jerker. I would recommend anyone visiting Oahu must see it. We had a mix up on the pickup location so we got on the bus about 30 minutes late but still made the memorial with plenty of time before our showing of the movie. The place is great and the stories behind it our sobering. The Mighty Mo is great for the whole family. Lots of cool things to touch and see. The tour continues with the downtown trip and punch bowl drive through. Both were well timed and needed after the long day of walking.

昨年は日本人ガイドでのハイキングを楽しみ、ことしも日本人ガイドの別プランを申し込んだのですが、あいにく満員でした。止む無く、このプランを利用しましたが、お迎え時刻になっても現れず、かなりの遅刻での登場でした。遅刻の言い訳もなしに現地へ。教会の私有地のヌカルミを長靴をはいてもくもくと歩くプランでした。日本軍のインパール作戦みたいだなと思いながら歩くこと数十分。滝に到着し、しばらくしてからU-ターンという流れでした。解説は少なめ。やはり、去年の日本人ガイドのプランのほうが随分と楽しかった気がします。あまり、お勧めできません。
