My husband and I spent the day at the Cultural Ctr. the day after Christmas. Our tour escort "Cousin Will" picked us up at our hotel and guided us through the various villages throughout the day. It was an educational day and a lot of fun as well. We learned so much about the different cultures, their language, their dance and their stories. The luau was fun and tasty. The Horizon's show was a spectacular finale of the day, the best show on the island of Oahu. I would recommend this experience for any first timers to the islands of Hawaii. And it's true that you can't see everything in one day. I wish we could have stayed longer. Enjoy!

A great time for history buffs, but the tour does not allow enough time to browse and soak in the sights. It goes fast but one still is moved by the magnitude of the events and sacrifices people paid during those days (and continue to pay).

What a fantastic all-day affair!! The frequent "say aloha" prompts from the tour guides was a bit much and got old, but the actual activity was a fabulous and impressive one. We hope to return to Hawaii someday and will repeat this one. Do be aware that they charge extra for a tour guide, but it is worth it for the first time.

There were 4 of us on this tour, and we had varied levels of enjoyment. Overall, the tour is worthwhile. It is a bit of history that everyone should know, even though war is still hell.

Our tour guide Sharon was wonderful!! She was very informative and knew the history and tour sites very well. She was also funny and entertaining even though our group was not very responsive at first. She made us laugh in the end.

We toured the Missouri with our Children. The boys loved the guns and it was very interesting to see how they live. I would recommend this tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and made it interesting and not just something that she was there to do. She realy believed in the cause.

I have been to this Center multiple times. And I will probably go back again some time. I continue to take friends and family to this Center as I find the educational value significant. I also enjoy the talents of the people and enjoy the food. This is a great place to visit.

Thank you for allowing us to join in on the celebration at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7. This was a special day for myself and my family.
I enjoyed the trip but would have liked more time to see the museum exhibits. The meal was ok but the eating place was way too crowded.
Brandon was a great guide. He answered qustions and kept us going all day.

Besides traveling with family, I had the neighbor next door with us. Her husband was a Pearl Habor survivor so this day was very special to her. To me, it was a once in a life time experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to celebrate with such a special ceremony.
The tour itself was ok. I was disappointed we did not get to spend more time in the museums and to hear more about the events that happened that day.
The lunch stop was too crowded. I was not able to set with my family during the meal.

What a wonderful experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to be able to paricipate in the dedication. To me, it was a once in a life time experience.
The food at our lunch stop was ok. The room they placed us in to eat was not acceptable. It was too crowded and I was not able to be any where near my family when we ate.
We did not have lots of time to visit the museums.

My favorite part of the experience was seeing the Samoan fire dancer at the end of the evening show, "Horizons". It was a beautiful, exciting and fun performance! He was also doing a cooking demonstration earlier that day at the Samoan camp. He was funny, charming, and kept us smiling. You can tell that he really loves what he does. I also loved how everyone who worked at the park seemed excited to share their culture.

We had wished for more time to tour the various places (especially the Arizona and Missouri). Though she had kept us on time during the day, we felt a little shorted at these attractions. The city tour was nice as was punchbowl, but time could have been compressed here to afford more time at the Arizona or Missouri. We never made it to the US Army museum as indicated in the itinerary. We did end the day earlier than we had anticipated. Our tour guide was excellent and she knew a lot of information that was helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed her comments and attitude. I understand that it is often hard to predict if people will be on time or not and therefore you need to plan accordingly, however as we were all on time most of the day, I think things could have been adjusted.

We were picked up at a hotel very near ours, easy to find. We had a large comfortable bus. The bus driver provide great commentary during the drive to the Arizona. The Arizona memorial is always awesome. This is my third time, my families first. Great video presentation and museum prior to the boat ride.
Tour of the City afterwards was great and we took the option to be dropped off at Hilo Hatties. Great Hawaiian Store.
Thanks!

My spouse and I opted for the Pearl Harbor + circle island tour - which is an all day event.
Our tour guide/driver Kimo knew the history of the island, was funny, and made the entire trip enjoyable. Kimo was able to deliver exactly what we had hoped for, island history, great photo ops, and out of the way discoveries. We also had a great time getting to know the other tour participants. I would recommend this tour for all adults.

11月5日に新婚夫婦で参加させていただきました。
本当は4日に参加の予定が、珍しくも大雨。でも担当の方から朝掛けに連絡があり、翌日の天気次第でという対応をいただきました。キャンセルになる不安もありましたが、天気予報も当日のオアフも大雨の中、奇跡的にマウイは快晴になり、5日に参加ができました。
ツアーは他の参加者さん1名との計3名での参加でした。
ハレアカラに上るまえに、道中、おやつを食べに連れて行ってくれたり、寄り道をしながら、緊張もほぐれて、山へ。
この日は雲行きがあまりよくなく、夕日は見れませんでした。
星空のほうはというと、雲が抜けてくれるのをじっくりとご飯を食べたりしてまっていて、遂に360度、見たことのない星空をみることができました!
お話も興味深いものがあり、本当に心が澄み渡るような体験でした。
学生の人や、新婚さんにおすすめだなぁと感じました。
また、見たいです。
マウイに行ったら、絶対に見たほうが良い!!!
と、日本に帰った今でも2人で絶賛しています。
ありがとうございました!
