Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing
Good information but long day
Reviewed by: Brenda C
We enjoyed this tour. Without this we wouldn't have seen half the wonders of this island. Dennis was very informative and gave lots of information. We were all tired by the end of the day. It's a lot of information to soak up in that amount of time.

We spent a couple days in Honolulu on our way home. We had visited Maui and Kauai and wanted to see Pearl Harbor and a little of Oahu before we went home. We enjoyed our tour guide Matthew very much and he did a very good job and keeping us entertained and telling us about the Island.

Fun and informative tour

This tour is a great opportunity to experience the major tourist attractions of the island. Our tour guide, Kona, was exceptionally knowledgeable and entertaining. The Pearl Harbor/USS Arizona visit was great whereas the Dole plantation stop could have been eliminated. We recommend this tour.

Many Thanks to Hawaii Activities
Reviewed by: Joanne Lewis
As I was only in Oahu for two days with a colleague, the first time either of us had been to Hawaii, we felt that the best way to see as much as possible was to take a tour. We looked on the Internet and found Hawaii Activities. I am extremely happy we made the choice.
Our bus driver, Hana, (I apologize if I have spelled this incorrectly) was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He was able to provide us with a number of historical facts which added a great deal to the experience.
I would gladly recommend Hawaii Activities and Hana to anyone looking for a tour of Oahu.
Thank you so much for a memorable experience.
Sincerely,
Joanne Lewis

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour!! It exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Olav was amazing. His knowledge, enthusiasm, bearing, friendliness and esprit de corps was outstanding. The museum at the end of the tour was the cherry on top. We were so delighted and honored to have experienced this one of a kind museum. We just wanted to stay and hang out there with everyone. We met Glenn and Brittney too. Again, such a delightful family with a passion for history, hospitality and entertainment. We appreciate all that you have done and are grateful for our time with you! Thanks again! We will be back.

Pearl Harbor Circle Island Tour
Reviewed by: B&B
We were picked by Craig at the TAPA Tower on time. Craig was a very informative tour guide. Had a great way of introducing tour members to one another was they were picked up. The Pearl Harbor memorial was very thought provoking. Only down side was the limitations on bags. It is incompatible with the rest of the circle island tour since all cameras and accessories had to be stored for a fee. Otherwise great orientation tour for first timers.

Very productive day
Reviewed by: Aimee
We got picked up by 6am by cousin Hana. When we reached Pearl Harbor, we were informed that you are not allowed to bring ANY bags past the entrance. You are allowed to bring wallet, camera and bottled water. You can store your bag for $3. We got about an hour to explore the museums and take pictures before we were admitted to the theater to watch a 23 minute video. From there, we were taken on a boat to go to the memorial. You get about 20 minutes at the memorial before heading back. Then you get another 20 minutes before it's time to go back on the bus. Side note: They do have a snack shop. Luckily, Hana was nice enough to let everyone bring back food on the bus.
It was 9:40am and time to explore the island. I loved every minute of it. Hana was very informative along the way and had a great sense of humor. We stopped for lunch at about 1pm. We made our way up to the north shore, back down the windward side and ending at Diamond Head before dropping everyone off at Waikiki. We made

As said in the title, this trip is definitely recommended to those who are first timer in Oahu Hawaii. The tour guide is great, he seems to know a lot about the history of Hawaii and the information of every sites we are going to. The value is not bad, especially if you don't know what to plan on one day, because the tour lasted long! And prepare to explore Arizona Memorial and extraordinary beaches and view!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
The guide was excellent. Our negative experience is due to the following two main reasons:
1) The tour bus (Discover Hawaii Trans and Tours) was broken into and all our bag packs were stolen. Heard a similar thing happened few weeks ago at the same place. I would have hoped that the tour company would taken added precautions like not leaving the bus unattended after the previous incident or communicating the previous incident to all the guides in the company. Basically they did not care.
2) After the bus glass was broken, a new bus was brought but after driving few miles, the new bus had gas/petrol leaking. The petrol smell was seeping into the bus so the windows had to be kept open with no AC!!!! Basically we all gave up and said just drop us at our hotel and forget about some sight seeing stops such Diamond head, etc.
We had an excellent time with other tour operators both in Oahu and Big Island except this (Discover Hawaii Trans and Tours) one.

Reviewed by: JaySee
We were lucky enough to have our guided tour with Hawaii activities, a group of professionals. It was an 11hour tour with guide Jonathen (one of the few best guides I ever encountered). It was a detailed tour about Pearl Harbour and the sunken ships followed by a detailed circle island tour where we were able to cover an ultra modern township on one side of Hawaii and a rural towanship on another side of hwaii followed by a fusion of both in the middle.Covering around 10 beaches in a single day was way above our expectation.I just wish to be there again with Hawaii activities for all the 5 island tours, all the adventure rides. We are coming next Summer again with a longer duration and we will for sure take the guidance again of Hawaii activities, a guide with Excellence. Mahalo.

Very inclusive!
Reviewed by: Cindyh
As this was my first visit to Oahu and Hawaii, I wanted to see as much as I possibly could. This tour did was great! We saw much of the island with a few stops here and there. Some of the things we saw were merely through the bus window, but being able to see so much of the island in one day was wonderful. I would recommend doing this tour near the beginning of your trip so if there is anything you find particularly interesting, you can go back. Pearl Harbor was amazing. This is a good tour if you only want a couple hours there.
Our tour guide was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about the locations we visited, friendly and shared many interesting folklore stories during the tour.

What an awesome day
Reviewed by: Aus Family
Travelling with my 15yo girl & 10yo boy we had some reservation as to whether they would enjoy this tour. What can I say it was awesome. Duke our tour guide (and owners son) made the day completely enjoyable, upbeat, interesting (even to non Americans) and nothing was to much trouble. We only had about 20 people of this tour so was very personal and comprehensive. An early start meant we beat the crowds at Arizona and Duke's personal knowledge made for an even better tour.
Basically if you want to do a military tour - YOU MUST DO THIS !!!!!!!!
Don't worry about Missouri & Bowfin (they require another full day) these can be done another day. This tour takes you onto the military bases and gives a genuine insight as to what they are like.

I have taken ALOT of tours in my day, and this is by far one of the best I have ever taken. From the minute I got into the (very nice and very CLEAN) charter, the guide, Duke (who just happens to be the son of the owner!) just MADE the day. He was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable of the rich history surrounding both Pearl Harbor and WWII in general.
Throughout the tour, he used humor and wit to share fascinating REAL stories of actual soldiers and events to really make this time in history come alive to all on board. I was just so impressed.
This tour was so much better organized than most other tours I have been on, yet they somehow managed to not make me feel like cattle being herded and pushed around....although we had a schedule to stick to, I never once felt rushed or hurried...it was such an enjoyable day. Duke had a great balance of giving us time on our own to look around the sites and exhibits (rather than treating us like children) yet he was always

We had such an amazing tour guide. He was so informative about the island in general. He talked about all kinds of plants, animals, history of the island, celebrities, hot tourist and local spots, restaraunts, activities, and pearl harbor. He was a walking Hawaiian encyclopedia. Every question we asked he was able to answer. He even had a notebook of pictures just incase he needed to show us something not found on the tour. The tour was an all day event that seemed short. Before we knew it the time creeped up and our tour was coming to an end. His name was Ken and I would take that tour again only with him. My whole family learned so much and throughout our vacation we were able to answer all of our other tours questions and they were so impressed; that was the best part.

Reviewed by: George K
We just came back from our Hawaii vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It started off in Pearl Harbor which is just amazing and a very powerful experience. We then continued onto Dole Pineapple plantation (make sure you try a Dole Whip) and the North Shore. We then continued onto other amazing sites along the western side of the island, including lunch on a secluded area on the water. Our tour guide was hilarious, and just an all around great guy who really added to the experience. I can't wait to go back to Hawaii to take the tour again. I would recommend this to anyone who is going to Oahu for a vacation.

Reviewed by: Amy T.
The tour was a great use of our time on the island. It does take an entire day though so be prepared for that. Pearl Harbor was great, there was no question on where we needed to be and when. If you want a full look at the Pearl Harbor site (submarine and all) you should plan more time to go back or do this part separately.
Our tour guides were friendly, helpful, and funny. They kept our attention the whole day with lots of great tidbits about the island. The tour was awesome. We got to see where filmings happened and which beaches were great for which activities. It was awesome. I wish we had done this tour on our first day of the island instead of toward the end of our trip.
I would definitely recommend the full circle and not just the north shore tour. There is so much more you get to see in the last couple hours. I can hardly wait to go back and use all the information!
I would definitely recommend!
