Awesome tour!

Reviewed by: Sandy, 2024/02/10

It was a great tour packed with info. Instructions were very clear and we knew what to do from start to finish. We had a disabled member in our party and Michael did whatever he could to make our trip memorable and easy

Pearl Harbor Visit

Reviewed by: Evette, 2023/10/26

My husband and I were so excited to see Pearl Harbor. The flight from Lihue to Oahu was perfect! We boarded the tour bus earlier than the time our email said (we were told between 9:15 and 9:30 a.m. but she arrived at 8:40 a.m. This was not a problem for us because we were there, but there was a couple who was not there when she left. She had to meet up with them in downtown Honolulu. She took us on a City Tour (which we were not expecting). The first part of the tour was great, but then, she dropped us off at Waikiki Beach for shopping and hanging out at the beach for 2 HOURS! We did not want to go to the beach, nor did the other people on the tour bus. She did not ask us; she just took us there and dropped us off. Because we were at the beach for that long, we were shorted our time at Pearl Harbor - especially the USS Missouri. We got there and she told us that we should get our lunch from the food truck right away because they closed at 2 p.m. - in was 12:50 p.m. when we arrived there. So, we got and ate our lunch which took about 20 minutes. We had to be back on the tour bus by 2 p.m. to head over the the USS Arizona as we had 2:30 p.m. tickets for that. We did not want to miss any more, so of course, we were on time. We could not tour the entire USS Missouri ship because we did not have enough time. And, over by the USS Arizona (not the boat ride and view of the actual memorial, but the other things to read and the movie - we did not have time to do. We had to be back on the bus by 4 p.m. This was supposed to be a day for Pearl Harbor, but it did not feel like that. We were so very disappointed that we could not view the entire ship and we do not feel that we got the full experience. Our tour bus driver was very nice but she should not have dropped us off at the beach/shopping for that long and take away the time we had for what we paid for and were hoping to see.

Good tour. More communication would have been nice.

Reviewed by: Cory L., 2020/02/27

We were told to be at the airport by 6 am. Flight left. 2 hours later. No representative ever met us at the airport in Lihue or Oahu. Did not receive any instructions as to where we had to go once we landed in Honolulu. Our flight back to Lihue was supposed to arrive at 7 pm. We were put on a later flight so didn't arrive in Lihue till 9:30 pm. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The above made for a longer day than expected. Felt we should have been told this information .

My son is an enormous military buff. We were spending the holidays in Kauai and decided to make a day trip to Pearl Harbor. So worth it. Very enjoyable and educational. Really can’t say enough.

Great Day At Pearl Harbor

Reviewed by: Tom and Jan, 2014/07/22

We took this tour as a day trip from Kauai. We are very pleased with the service. The tour associates were very helpful in making sure that we made all our connections, before and during the day. The tour bus driver, Ed, was very informative and made sure that we had the best experience possible.

Great Trip

Reviewed by: Rich P, 2014/06/02

Took my 80 year old parents with us and was worried about too much walking. No worries with this trip. The tour provide enough in Pearl Harbor without over doing it. Great drive through the city with ample time to shop downtown. Our tour guide Ed was fabulous. Great sense of humor and very knowledgeable. Flights on Hawaiian Air were great and the tour rep who met us at check in was prompt and had all our boarding passes. Over all a great trip!

trip to Pearl Harbor from Kauai

Reviewed by: Tom, 2014/05/01

Overall trip itineray was well organized beginning with plane tickets to and from Kauai. Plane ride was ~20 minutes to Oahu. Tour supposed to begin at 9:30am didn't start ontime due to 2 people being late. That alone did not make us late for 30 minute film presenation at 10:30am at Pearl but did cut into free time to observe rest of memorial. The film presentation was excellent! Trip out to Memorial was all good and quite humbling. All was well organized and went fine. Next went to battleship Missouri and all went fine ( except it rained - no one's fault there )
Next we were out to Memorial Cemetary and that was very interesting as well. Last stop after leaving Cemetary was our free time in Waikiki. Traffic was horrendous and lost alot of freetime to walk around due to travel to downtown.
For my wife and I we felt the cost of trip was reasonable and very glad we took the trip. But the one ingrediant that made the whole day memorable and quite enjoyable was our guide - Mr Garfield. He was engaging, he was extremely knowledgeable not only about Pearl but about ......everything. Not taking away anything from other guides available but having Mr Garfield was a huge positive to making the day an absolute success. I recommend that if you are contemplating taking a trip that you request Mr Garfield. You will not be disappointed.

Pearl Harbor

Reviewed by: Wade, 2014/02/25

The tour guide was very informative and friendly. The bus was clean. The Arizona was very somber but we were glad we were able to see it. We also went to the Missouri, we would have liked to had more time here and less time driving around Honolulu. Otherwise it was a good day spent.

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.

Pearl Harbor, USS Missouri, Oahu

Reviewed by: Debra Styers, 2008/07/16

We REALLY enjoyed our bus driver/tour guide, Ben. He was the best. He was very knowledgeable, funnv and enjoyable.

The whole day was wonderful, except for one thing......the 3 hour wait we had to get back to Kuaui.

That was VERY annoying because there is absolutely nothing at the airport to do for 3 hours. There are no stores to even buy anything at, so unless there was an earlier flight that you could get people on, I would not recommend the package to anyone for that reason alone.

When people are on vacation they don't want 3 hours of their vacation wasted waiting at an airport. You should really try to arrange the tour so everyone is back at the airport in time for the 5:45 pm flight back to Kuaui.

We saw so many fantastic things, and would certainly recommend this to others. More than anything, Hana was a wonderful guide and made us all feel at home. He was pleasant, informative, considerate and kept us laughing. We'd do other tours with him if we could! Thanks SOOOO much!

Pearl Harbor Trip

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/05/15

The trip was nice. We had an excellent bus tour guide and on The US MO. We would have liked to have the Bowfin and Air museum included in the price. We spent too much time waiting in lines and wandering around the city, and would ahve preferred seeing more in Pearl Harbor. Overall we did enjoy ourselves.

Pearl Harbor and Oahu

Reviewed by: Sharon, 2008/01/21

I booked this tour for my parents and brother to take while we were on Kauai. They had a fabulous day and raved about the Pearl Harbor tour. It was worth the flight to Oahu and taking an entire day of vacation. They loved the bus driver/tour guide. If Pearl Harbor interests you, this is a good way to see it.

Hawaii Inter Island Tour

Reviewed by: Larry, 2007/08/28

Kauai to Oahu & Pearl Harbor
I liked the Arizona tour, but I thought that the park dept could do more to explain the details of the Memorial to us younger folks who do not know about the detailed History of what happened and why it happened, other than the movie. Kids today do not like reading. IE: when we went to Kileau, we had a Park ranger, Jason Zimmer, explain to us in detail what was there, very informative. Also we would have liked to see Diamond Head, they say if time allows, but we wasted to much time driving around Waikiki.
