This was an amazing tour! Our guide was a veteran that was able to give us a different perspective to Pearl Harbor. It was not sugar coated or one-sided either. Simply amazing. He informed us prior to stopping at places how much time we would have (and what we would have less time with if we went over) and gave us instructions on how to get the most out of our time (what to do first, what not to miss). The circle island portion was insightful, and we had just about as much time as we could want at most stops (excepting the Dole plantation - kids got caught up at the pearl table). The kids were tired as we had been out late the night before at a luau, but they had enough down time between stops and napped. Not that between stops were dull moments - but for the most part interesting facts, legends, history, and jokes were shared throughout the whole tour - they were just really tired from the late night before! We had thought about renting a car and driving around on our own agenda, but

Nothing is more fun than this show on Hawaii. Loved it completely, excellent arrangements, very good timings for each show so that you will not miss a single one, excellent staffs and lastly superb shows..kudos to them.
If you have time, also take the temple trip and visit the church.

The Polynesian Cultural Center was a great experience! We rented a car and went for the day rather than booking a tour. The Samoan presentation was very funny as well as a learning experience as all presentations are! We were able to try some of the things that we learned from the presentations. Our kids loved collecting the stamps, and the prize at the end. It was an enriching experience that I recommend all to try at least once. We did not attend a luau on property, so I cannot relay any recommendations for that.

Our greeter met us with a big smile, with our name on a sign outside the gate when we arrived. She offered to take our picture, and lead us to the restrooms, baggage area, found our transportation for us. She was WONDERFUL! I would recommend this service to everyone.

I took this tour on November 29, 2008, and I must say that it was a day filled with history, culture, and many interesting discoveries. The tour guide was very informative and entertaining to spend time with during the long rides, and thanks to him the trips were never boring. Not only that, he even warned us about some things like the not-so-organized handling of the train tours in Dole Plantation, the over-priced nuts, etc. I'm glad he helped us.
The day was cloudy and somewhat rainy, yet these weather conditions sure gave us an intense-yet-fun moment at the Pali Lookout where the winds blew hard. I never felt winds that strong, even compared to typhoons in the Philippines.
Pearl Harbor is easily the most educational part of the tour. It has great history written all over it and it was quite a nice experience to visit the Arizona Memorial and see the Missouri.
With many interesting stops (although the Dole stop is kinda short), this tour is very much worth the money and tim

We had a great experience and our tour guide Kenn was very informative and funny to be with. Visiting the Arizona was a very sobering experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone. I would have preferred a different choice for lunch, as eating at a golf course was not what I preferred but again I think the rest of the tour was fantastic and beautiful

New to the Hawaiian islands, I thought, in doing research, that a comprehensive all-day tour of the island of Oahu would be in order. I am so GLAD that we chose this tour and had a wonderful, experienced guide with a great sense of humor. This tour provided the opportunity to touch upon MANY of the incredible sights the island has to offer and inspired us to create our reamining days' itineraries around spots we had briefly visited, photographed, and were inspired to see more of. The tour and the guides knowledge really opened our eyes to the wonders of the island in "real time" vs. just using a guide book purchased prior to the vacation. Strongly recommend for first-time visitors.

This tour is a great introduction to Oahu and Hawaii. It gives a background history and setting to the place where we were holidaying. Our tour leader Tavita was exceptional, very informative and extremely entertaining with his commentary and songs. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to know a bit more about the place in which they are staying. The day may be a bit long for families with young children.
Added bonus for us was the USS Ronald Reagan Aircraft Carrier coming into port as we were out on the Arizona. It was immense!!!

Enjoyed thoroughly! Our guide, Kenn, made the tour the best! VERY informative, but not boring! He made very helpful suggestions regarding the tour to the extent of suggesting taking our jacket to lunch as the dining area was usually cool and where to sit in the video at Pearl Harbor. We saw A LOT during this tour!

Very nice, but would have been nice to have our meal and THEN enjoy entertainment (singing, dancing) as it took too long and didn't allow anytime to visit the villages for anyone who may have finished their meal and want to see the center more than the canoe ride. Horizons was awesome!

We had a good time at the crater. We were a little bummed because we didn't get to see the sunrise but it is unpredictable and we understand that. It was still a great experience and we did get to see some sun rising behind the clouds.
If we make it back to Maui we would definitely try it again in hopes to see the sunrise the second time!
Thanks for an informative tour!

This was great and well worth the money. I would have liked to stay longer in a couple of areas and there were some activities that we didn't get to do because of time. I would suggest taking snacks or packing a picnic as you really didn't have time to buy a lunch. At a couple of the attractions you were offered ice cream to buy, but not anything more substantial. Both the dinner entertainment and the Polynesian show after dinner were awesome. Going back a 2nd time, I would go on my own and wander.

My family and I absolutely loved visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center while in Oahu. I highly recommend spending the extra money and getting the Ambassador All day package. You will get a very personal tour guide (we had Diliana and she was awesome!) of all the Polynesian villages. My husband gets bored pretty easily and not ONCE did he get restless during the entire day. You are kept well entertained and learn a lot about the Polynesian cultures. The luau and the food was great, and the Night Show was fantastic! Very high energy and entertaining. I highly recommend visiting the PCC !

The Pearl Harbor tour was well done. Our tour guide, who was also our bus driver, did a great job explaining how the tour would be conducted, getting our large group lined up in order, and seeing that we all gained entrance to the tour together. The one thing that I did not care for was the tour guide's advice about who to vote for in the American presidential election. It reduced his tip by 50%.

We loved going to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Our guide "Cousin Gumbo" was very personable and informative. The day started very nice but we did have rain showers. We didn't let that stop us from enjoying everything. We didn't get to go on the canoe ride because of the rain. Next time maybe we will be able to.
We did do fun activities and learned about the different islands and cultures. The luau was very nice and we enjoyed the different foods. The show was fantastic. We do plan to go again and visit area's of the center we didn't get to see. Would recommend for all ages.

This was a fantastic day. It was nice to go and see the places we wouldn't have seen if we had driven around the island. So much would have been missed if we hadn't taken the tour.
We do plan to do it again sometime. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a nice adventure.
