Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing
A poignant experience
Reviewed by: Tony
Visiting a place where a family member once served and where so many paid the ultimate price was an emotional experience we will never forget. The tour of the the submarine "Bowfin" was especially interesting, and the Arizona Memorial was a moving esperience. Everyone should visit this place at least once.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing
Excellent!
Reviewed by: Linda
Having lived on Oahu for 5.5 years in the 50s, my sister and I were anxious to visit old haunts, outside the Waikiki area and this tour certainy accomplished that for us. Our guide, Greg, went above and beyond the list of attractions/sights we were scheduled to see and had such a breadth of knowledge about the islands' history, culture and general Hawaiian topics that we came away from the tour much more informed than when we started it. He was witty, caring and very dedicated to his job, making all his passengers feel very special for a day.
From giving us hints about how to get the best seats on the boat for the Arizona Memorial in the morning until the time he dropped us off - exhausted - at the end of the day, touring with Greg was like being part of an extended family.
If there were more than 5 stars, this tour and the guide would get them. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - on the first day of our 10-day trip - and set the standard by which we judged the others we took

Tours are only as good as it's tour guides and Kenn was good. Travelling with 3 generations of women, I was able to sit back, relax and let Kenn do his magic. A Morgan Freeman like masterpiece, The women, mother, wife and niece, were bringing up his name long after the tour ended. The 11 hours passed by quickly. Well worth the money. Mahalo

Home of the Brave Pearl Harbor & Military Base Tour
Wow - what an amazing tour this was
Reviewed by: Meg Amor
This Home of the Brave tour was absolutely fantastic. We looked at a lot of tours but this one sounded the most interesting. And it certainly out to be so.
From start to finish our brilliant tour guide Olav told us fascinating and riveting information on the Pearl Harbour attack - a lot that we didn't know! He is a mine of information and as a tour guide he was one of the best I've ever been on a tour with. Great easy style, marvellous interesting information, and a good sense of humor. He got everyone organized without any fuss or muss and was fun to be with.
What this man doesn't know about Pearl Harbour - I wouldn't think is much. He had pictures and played big band music, clips, and riveting information on all sorts of levels, fun, factual, historical, the spies, the politics, the battle. Very very good.
I would highly recommend this tour. Nice smallish group - about 20 people and it was easy. Loved this tour. Excellent leader and well worth the money. Thanks

The family really enjoyed this tour. It was very informative and gave you lots of information regarding the Island, we got to see all of the major points interested, and our tour guide Dennis L. also made the trip fun. The Pearl Harbor tour took your breath away, it really made you value the sacrifice our military, air force, and navy gave to keep our country free.

History in the Making
Reviewed by: Russ & Barb
My father was stationed in Pearl Harbor for four (4) years commencing one (4) month after the attack. I wanted to at least have a hands on experience as to what he went through and the conditions during that specific timeframe.
Jim was the consummate tour guide. His knowledge of the "inside" and side-bar stories of the Pearl Harbor attack, many focusing on the US Army Air Corps participation, enhanced all of the stops we made: the USS Arizona Memorial, Wheeler Field, Schofield Barracks, Fort Shafter and National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (Punchbowl National Cemetery). These stories fill in the spaces that most of us have in our knowledge of the attack. In fact, I was extremely impressed with Jim’s knowledge in areas that I had not heard and/or read about over the years of conversation with my Mom and Dad and/or studies associated with this part of our history.
I especially enjoyed Jim’s setting the scene at all of the stops. He wants to place you in that place at that

We had only one day to see O'ahu...and this tour was perfect! Dennis was a very entertaining, informative, and patient tour guide. We would recommend this tour to families with older children and couples especially. We also appreciated that this tour was for site seeing, and not a shopping trap. Thank you, Dennis, for the great time!

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing
Awesome Tour - Best on the island!!
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
This was the absolute BEST thing we did to get to know the island. Hana is the absolute BEST tour guide EVER! There is no doubt that Pearl Harbor and the Arizona is awesome - moving, and just "wow", a time for reflection...yet just the beginning.
A tour through the island was indeed the best way to go. Everyone must experience a Dole whip. And bring some note paper with you so you can write down the specific beach you want to spend more time at. We rented a car the next day to retrace our steps and stay longer at specific places of interest to us. This tour is a MUST DO, and I hope you will be as lucky as we were to have Hana. He can answer any question you have about the islands!! And he made the day (which you think 11 hours would be long...) fly by fast!
Thank you Hana!!!!

Pearl Harbor Tour
Reviewed by: ceannaire
This was one of my daughters favorite parts of our vacation. That is a tough sell for a 14 year old. Pearl Harbor was great. I wish we would of stayed at the Dole Pineapple Planation longer. It was great to have someone drive you around the island and inform you with so much knowledge you would not know otherwise. Door to door transportaion was great since we didn't rent a car on Oahu. The tour wants me to come back to Oahu for more.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing
Well worth the time!
Reviewed by: Deb, Illinois
One of the first things I wanted to do when I reached Hawaii was to tour the island to see what it has to offer. This is definitely worth the time. 11 hours on a tour seems like a lot, but there were many 'drive-by' items that would have been fun to stop at and take pictures such as the TV filming areas. Our professional guide, Jonathan, was the best! His knowledge of the island, special tips and eating recommondations, and humor made the tour pass quickly. This tour gave my family a taste of options for us to do on our vacation. LOVED IT!!!
On a side note, I would recommond to anyone that rides a bus in Hawaii to take a light jacket or sweater because the AC is on and the buses do get chilly.

Oahu Circle Island Tour
Reviewed by: 20th Anniversary
Five Star all around. Dennis was brimming with knowledge and provided much entertainment for the entire tour. Tour was whole day but worth it. Being in a small coach was immeasurably better than a large coach. Plenty of stops and time at each stop. A great way to drive and see whole Island to plan where you might want to rent a car and go back to. For limited time visitors this tour takes you everywhere and can provide you with the information and taste of Oahu. It made seeing Pearl Harbor the easiest way to attend without having to stand on forever lines for a ticket. Visits to Dole, Mac Nut and Coffee, provided many free samples to decide flavors and excellent prices to buy those gifts for home. We even got great cheap T-shirts at the Sunset Beach. Sightseeing, History and Shopping all in one package! Leave the driving to those that know the Island and enjoy a fun day.

We were taken to many great places all around the island. It was nice to be able to get out of the vehicle to actually stand on the beaches & get wet. The Mac Nut Farm had free tasting. YUM... We witnessed a pineapple carving at the Dole Plantation. We saw new pineapple fields & a religious shrine area. The tops of the cliffs gave us awesome sights. We even saw some whales playing out in the ocean along with watching the blow hole. Cowboy even gave my grandaughters some very cute young coconut souveniors that he picked up & made faces/heads out of. He explained many different features of the islands including a lot of history to help us understa

Amazing!
Reviewed by: Shayna
I have always had great respect and admirsation for the men and women of our armed forces, but attending the tour of Pearl Harbor increased that exponentially. I had tears in my eyes at the USS Arizona Memorial. The aren't words to describe the experience of learning what happening to all of those men on December 7, 1941. After we left the memorial we went on the Circle Island tour. As a first time visitor to Hawaii, I was in awe of the beauty this island possesses. The staff on the tour was great! Kanoelani and Ken were amazing, insightful, friendly, and very informative. They made a GREAT tour spectactular!!!

The Pearl Harbor Hawaii Circle Tour was unique. We started with Pearl Harbor which was poignant and beautifully done. Then we started what I like to call "see the Hawaii most people don't see".
We not only saw mountains valleys, cliffs, and ocean but landmarks, visited a farm, plantation, enjoyed lunch at a golf club (not included). The guide (driver) was funny, informative, and professional. Don't miss this tour - this is the real Hawaii.

Good Trip
Reviewed by: Visitor
Tour guide was knowledgeable, but I got a little tired of her reminding us that she knew all of our names. This was impressive that she could remember our names, but after a while it seemed like she was reminding us so we would give her a bigger tip. Lunch at the golf club was an odd choice...with so many Hawaiian locations available, we go to a golf club? I took the abbreviated tour (finished at 3:30 rather than 5:30), and from what I heard from those that did the full day tour, I made a wise choice. All-in-all, a good tour with a knowledgeable guide, but the Dole plantation and Macadamia nut "factory" stops didn't offer much more than shopping.
