I have been to the Arizona Memorial 4 times and this tour provided the best experience. It did a great job of showing the historical military locations. The guides were very informative and made it a very enjoyable day.

We had such fun! Toby was the greatest tour guide, pointing out every site and giving both sides of the copter a chance to see it. This was the highlight of my daughter's and my trip! If you have only one choice for an activity, make it this one!

Please go and pay your respects! Tour bus picks you up and tells you how everything goes. We got right in when on some days you must wait an 1 or so. There's a short film before you are boated over to the memorial. It's awe inspiring.
Our drive was a cocky know it all rude person. Well, at least he thought he knew it all. He really sounded uneducated and told us things we did not need to hear. He also took about 12 cig breaks.
Overall great price and pretty good service.

We took the "Home Of The Brave" tour and it is a day that will live in infamy for us. If you are a history buff, you will think you have died and gone to heaven. We spent our time with Brandon (the world's greatest and most informed tour guide) as he took us through the events leading up to and and including the attack on Pearl Harbor and ending at Punchbowl National Cemetery. If you do no other tour when you are on Oahu, this is the one to do. Brandon provided unique insight into the historical events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Because of his enthusiasm, we have since started to do our own research into the whole history that is available and not just the bits and pieces that we have seen through movies.This is just a bit if the info that we have found.

This is an exceptional tour and the best bang for your buck-so to speak. Thank you Brandon and Hawaii Activities.

Everyone who visits Honolulu needs to go Pearl Harbor. We learned so much about that moment in history...how it happened...why we weren't able to stop it. And it was very meaningful to remember the lives of those who were lost and all that they stood for. We had a toddler with us and it was a good experience for all of us.

I was a wonderful time. It was early to rise,but you get over that very fast. Pearl Harbor was great. It was a little long. If you like to shop they take you a great place. Just hope for great weather.

Going to Pearl Harbor was an amazing experience. It was very touching. Taking a bus tour to Pearl Harbor eliminates the need for driving in traffic through Honolulu as well as dealing with parking. The tour gave us enough time to roam around and also took us on a trip through Honolulu showing some sights. This is one activity that is definitely better suited as a bus tour.

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%.

Our guide was coughing into the mike as he talked and we thought if he was sick, he should have stayed home. He could have at least removed the mike when he was coughing.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! Driver was a bit late but it in no way impacted our experience. Its very busy at Pearl Harbor but everything is handled efficiently and although we waited in a very long line, it moved quickly and we were off to the memorial building. Very moving and impressive ! Every visitor to the island should see!

PS FYI - NOT PART OF MY COMMENT
You have a typo in your Board Writing Guides in the Comment Writing Standards. You typed "Be through," think you meant thorough.

Nice tour - interesting tidbits along the way. I think the Explorer's Tour is worth the extra. You get to venture where the ropes are. You do some bending and ducking as you enter the various door entry areas on the ship. I think you get more out of the ship tour with the guide than just visiting without a tour guide.
ps - I selected good for families but that is also a judgment call depending on how mindful the children are in dealing with tight quarters and time-constraints to visit various areas of the ship.

I was impressed by the audio visuals used and the visuals used for USS Arizona tour and the Home of Brave portion of the tour.
The tour guide gave us some highlights of the USS Arizona attack as we waited in line for the Memorial to open.
Everything worked well: the extra tidbits, pictures in the van/shuttle, audio visuals; and the stops we made were interesting that also related with the audio visuals.
At the end of the tour, we stopped at a little museum and we were presented with a free post card that showed the areas that we had visited.
Oh - the meal on base that was all you can eat (not included in the price) but very good and less than $10. Great tour - it was a great way to start the vacation off in spite of the rain we experienced in the morning as we waited for the Memorial to open. I now have a $2 poncho that I purchased outside the Memorial and never had to use for the 12 days of my Hawaii stay. It's more of a conversation piece now :)

The explorer's tour is worth the extra money. Instead of just wandering around on a few decks you get a personally guided tour of about 4 secluded decks including one of the BIG 16 inch gun turrets. Very interesting to see how a battleship works.
