We had only one day to see O'ahu...and this tour was perfect! Dennis was a very entertaining, informative, and patient tour guide. We would recommend this tour to families with older children and couples especially. We also appreciated that this tour was for site seeing, and not a shopping trap. Thank you, Dennis, for the great time!

This was the absolute BEST thing we did to get to know the island. Hana is the absolute BEST tour guide EVER! There is no doubt that Pearl Harbor and the Arizona is awesome - moving, and just "wow", a time for reflection...yet just the beginning.
A tour through the island was indeed the best way to go. Everyone must experience a Dole whip. And bring some note paper with you so you can write down the specific beach you want to spend more time at. We rented a car the next day to retrace our steps and stay longer at specific places of interest to us. This tour is a MUST DO, and I hope you will be as lucky as we were to have Hana. He can answer any question you have about the islands!! And he made the day (which you think 11 hours would be long...) fly by fast!
Thank you Hana!!!!

This was the best! I thought it was so important to do as a first timer, and would highly recommend it to anyone! Not only was it a great surprise for my family, the gal who greeted us was full of valuable information for us. She also walked us to the luggage pick up AND made sure we found our transportation driver before leaving.
I would HIGHLY recommend this service. It was a GREAT start to a very special family vacation!

This was one of my daughters favorite parts of our vacation. That is a tough sell for a 14 year old. Pearl Harbor was great. I wish we would of stayed at the Dole Pineapple Planation longer. It was great to have someone drive you around the island and inform you with so much knowledge you would not know otherwise. Door to door transportaion was great since we didn't rent a car on Oahu. The tour wants me to come back to Oahu for more.

This was a very unique place. It was beautiful. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgable. The night show was the best show I have ever seen. My recommendation is to get the ambassodor package so that you have a guide. It is very crowded and somewhat hard to navigate around so having a guide is definitely worth the extra money. Food wasn't that great but was the same as other luaus in the area. Overall it's a must see!

The tour is a bit rushed as expected because of all the area covered. However, you get to see a lot, but for a small amount of time. Waimea Canyon is most definitely the highlight of the tour. The river trip and fern grotto weren't too exciting. The tour is a good way to get an overview if you just have one day on the island (like we did).

We would recommend the Polynesian cultural center for many reasons. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. It was great fun to be so immersed in the cultures presented...dancing in Tahiti, singing and playing music in Fiji to name just a couple. The luau was a great opportunity to see the many different forms of hula dancing, and the food was great and plentiful.
In short, the Polynesian Cultural Center should not be missed!

I think overall the package was the best and most unique experience I have ever enjoyed but I think the Dinner timings werent quite right and could be delayed a bit and also the staff were kinda urgent towards the end of buffet timings that we really couldnt enjoy the Dinner all the way till dessert. That kinda impacted me not to give 5 Star for it. And believe me you need the whole full day to cover PCC and half day wont do justice for this unique experience.

We had a good time, only downside is there isnt enough water fountains around the center because it got really hot.Dinner was really good except we didnt get to see the pig come out of the oven. the Night show was good. I probably wont come back here next time I visit hawaii. It seemed kinda too touristy.

She took pictures of us, got us maps of the area and even walked us to the rental car shuttle. Above and beyond our expectations. Plus, the lei's were beautiful.

I was absolutely stunned by the beauty of East Hawaii. Hilo can often be a victim of superficial judgments. I know it is the rainiest city in the USA and that it is routinely beset by tropical downpours but we saw rainbows, waterfalls and green, green, green… Thank you.

A long day, but well worth it! Even the bus ride was good. This was the best luau experience we had, easily beating out the one offered by NCL on Kaua'i, which was very good. It was a hot day, and the line for shaved ice was long, but that is the only negative. All of the cultural shows we saw were excellent and there were even pre-shows for those who arrived early. The food was good (along with another show), and the main show at the end (Ha, Breath of Life) was outstanding.
If you are looking for an intimate on-the-beach luau, this is not it. The PCC provides a first-rate experience for thousands of people, and does so with minimal delays and great views from any seating location. I am so glad we went. This was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

We had the privilege of doing both the Hana and Haleakala trips with you and we had an unforgettable time; learned a great deal and were as comfortable as could be. You certainly leave no stone unturned to ensure the best possible service toyour clients - we appreciate that. Our tour guides were prompt, courteous, most adept at their jobs and extended to us what we refer to as the real Hawaiian hospitality. We could have asked for nothing more. They thought of everything! Please extend our thanks to each of them too for making us feel like one of the family.

I was pleased with the Lei Greeting. The representative was there when our flight arrived, dressed in a Hawaiian dress, with both of the lei that we ordered. She explained a little about the lei, and their significance, and the difference between the two.
I would recommend this service, especially as a surprise for a family member, or for a first time visitor to the Islands.

One of the first things I wanted to do when I reached Hawaii was to tour the island to see what it has to offer. This is definitely worth the time. 11 hours on a tour seems like a lot, but there were many 'drive-by' items that would have been fun to stop at and take pictures such as the TV filming areas. Our professional guide, Jonathan, was the best! His knowledge of the island, special tips and eating recommondations, and humor made the tour pass quickly. This tour gave my family a taste of options for us to do on our vacation. LOVED IT!!!
On a side note, I would recommond to anyone that rides a bus in Hawaii to take a light jacket or sweater because the AC is on and the buses do get chilly.

We took the Pearl Harbor tour with the Missouri. Sandy was our tour guide and she was fantastic! Very nice, fun and entertaining, plus knowledgeable. The bus was really big and comfortable (not like most of the yucky shuttles) and Sandy drove around Waikiki effortlessly. Amazing!
The Arizona Memorial is a must-see, although it is not exciting so kids are easily bored. On the other hand, the tour of the Missouri is great for all ages. We did the audio tour with the iTouch device, and my 13-year-old thought it was like an adventure to find the next location. We were able to explore and listen at our convenience.
The Punchbowl was closed for Memorial Day, but Sandy took us to Pal"i lookout, which was a beautiful sight and the drive up was very informational too.
Overall, a terrific tour that we are so glad we did and the price was VERY affordable. Many of the tours I saw were way over-priced, as I cannot see what they could offer over the tour we took.
We were much

The Beach on the North Shore tour was beautiful, very clean, and a refreshing change from Waikiki Beach. The waves were much stronger and had great surfing beaches along the way for those interested in that. Really enjoyed watching folks on that diving rock there. The ride was long, but the driver was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and relayed lots of information about Hawaii. The stroll through the small, older town with shops and eateries was unique. Loved the music provided by that musical family that lives there and entertains the tourists. A relief to see more enjoyable aspects of Oahu without the hassle of driving.
