5-Star Circle Island Tour - Hula Class, Farm Tour & Dole Pineapple [Open Soon]

Great time

Reviewed by: WisconsinNewlyweds

Our tour guide Kapena (sp?) was a great ambassador for his island. He definitely made the tour fun and had a great personality. The tour itself is as you’d expect-many stops with never enough time to see “it all” but lots of information packed into one day! Ok

  • Best tour guide ever!

Best Experience!

Circle island tour is the best. Cousin A gave us a very good detail about the history and significance of places visited. We enjoyed the tour a lot. Just be mindful of the weather conditions before planning this tour.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Not enough time

Reviewed by: Lynn H

This is not the tour companys fault but if you want to be able to see Pearl Harbor don’t take this tour. The guide was late picking us up and we were at the end of the line. He did get our tickets for us but we spent a lot of time waiting around. There was not nearly enough time to see the site. The island tour was long and not very good. Unable to stop along the beaches due to laws. Dole plantation was a tourist trap and the macadamia shop was over run with people chowing down on the free samples. Anyway time would have been better spent seeing more of Pearl Harbor. So if you have a choice spend your time at Pearl Harbor and skip the bus tour. Find your own beach to hang out on later in the day

Hana, our driver was AMAZING!!! The entire day was totally exceptional. He was highly knowledgeable, answered all questions, eagerly and kept the group on track!! Pearl Harbor is a "must see," but seeing the entire Island---wouldn't have wanted to miss it. Lunch was "okay." Nothing to rave about.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Best day ever!

Reviewed by: Johanna from Sweden

After finishing our day with two big smiles on our faces, my friend and I agreed that it would have to be something extraordinary to top this! We had the time of our lives.
We met some lovely people, and we, being from Sweden, thaiught that it was really amazing that folks we're so understanding when we lost ourselves in translation sometimes.

The sights we saw were amazing with good variety. The bus was not full to the brim with people so moving in and out was easy and it did not take long to gather ourselves up when leaving a destination to go see the next. (Except when Kevin went out to look for our friend from hong kong haha)

The information we attained during the driving time was fun, entertaining and interesting.

Our tourguide, cousin Kevin, will forever and ever remain in our Hearts and memories. Because he is now a part of our international ohana, and what does that mean? Family. And what does family mean?

Nobody gets left behind or forgotten!

Until next time,
Aloha and thank you!

This was a wonderful tour. Jessie was our driver and he was more than excellant. He was very knowledgable. He knew tons of facts about the history of the island. It was well worth spending a day to do this tour. I now know of some "secret" LOL places to go next time I am there. Jessie made the tour interesting. We ended up seeing him the next day at the Polynasian Culture center and he came over to us to say hi. Thanks Jessie for the fantastic day!

The tour was good. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. We basically saw the whole island in one day so it was long day but worth it. Bring plenty of water to keep hydrated!!!!! The only negative was that our driver was 30 minutes late picking us up but other than that it was cool.

Very Moving

Reviewed by: JS15

Hard to describe the emotions one feels when visiting the Memorial. It is beautiful yet gut wrenching to know you are standing above the sunken Arizona where so many met their demise. One definitely receives an education about a terrible moment in our history. The Volunteers and Veterans were wonderful in explaining the details of such a long ago time. We also had the good luck to meet a survivor. This tour is a must see.

Our tour guide Dennis did an amazing job! it was a day full of fun! we got to see almost all major attractions on Oahu, including Pearl Harbor tour, learned interesting facts about each of them. The only thing i can suggest is perhaps skip Diamond Head stop. it is the last one, doesn't give a good view and is too much for one day. Other than this, the tour is perfect DON'T HESITATE TO BOOK IT!

Best Tour! A highlight of our trip!

Reviewed by: J Whikehart

Wonderful tour and greatly exceeded our expectations! This is a family run business with many special touches (including first admittance into the USS Arizona Memorial)! Loved the enthusiasm of our tour guide, Duke(a native of Oahu), who had a vast knowledge of the history of Pearl Harbor and other military bases, plus shared some personal stories of military personnel and their real-life experiences that fateful Dec. 7th day. Tour begins early for a good reason! Our tour began with the raising of our national flag and a cannon fire at Fort Shafter at sunrise! A beautiful experience not to be missed!

We missed this tour several years ago when we came to Hawaii. We knew we had to take it this time and we were not disappointed. Olav was our driver/guide and was a walking encyclopedia of knowledge about all things Pearl Harbor and December 7, 1941 (and before). This tour is a MUST if you are a history buff. If we have the opportunity to return to Hawaii we will definitely do this tour again.

Awesome Day Trip!

Reviewed by: kevin gaines

The Pearl Harbor Circle Island Tour was just awesome and a great way to see Honolulu main points. Our tour guide Joey was just awesome and had a great individual to have to show our group around! He knew everything about each stop we made, very detail oriented, gave us plenty time for pictures and to take in the beauty of yeah stop. Seeing Pearl Harbor up close was just history in the making and an unbelievable and sad event but so worth seeing! The tour was nice and a great way to meet other on the tour from all over. Very long tour though, your talking all day! 8-9hrs with lunch included. But it was long and I was beat once it was over with the sun beaming down on you-lol. I totally recommend this tour and Joey our guide for anyone looking to see some Honolulu great picture spots and the history behind each stop and location!
