Pearl Harbor - Circle Island Tour
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
This is a great way to see the whole island and get a great perspective on places you want to go back and visit during your trip...Of course, Pearl Harbor was awesome -- just wish we had gone to the Missouri too....Our tour guide, Jeff, was fantastic! He is a native and really knows the island! He told us all kinds of interesting "trivia" that we didn't get on other tours....

A wonderful experience
Reviewed by: Ron & Cecily
Our guide Tavita with his knowledge and his special sense of humour made this a very special day for us. His introduction to the USS Arizona memorial as we rode to Pearl Harbour was moving and full of information. This made the visit even more special. And the rest of the day - the Circle Island part - was thoroughly enjoyable and informative, again thanks to Tavita. We would unconditionally recommend this tour to everyone.

Pearl Harbor & Island Tour
Reviewed by: Karen
My husband and I went to Oahu with his parents and decided to take an island tour. We did not rent a car, so this was the best way for us to see as much as possible. There are many tours available and they all seem to go to the same sights, but I am glad I booked this one because our tour guide, Lani, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and it felt like she truly enjoyed sharing everything with us even though she had done it a hundred times before. Lani was patient and friendly and happy the entire day (and it was a LONG day!). The tour is on a small bus, which worked well and seems to be common for this type of tour. There was a lot of in-and-out of the bus but not too much and the stops were all worth it. The group at HawaiiActivities was very nice about changing tour dates for me, even with last minute notice. We all enjoyed this tour and are glad we did it - it's worth the cost.

Home of the Brave Tour
Reviewed by: Ron
(Took tour on 24 April 2009) This is a wonderful tour to history buffs and non-history buffs alike. Brandon 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.
I especially enjoyed Brandon setting the scene at all of the stops. He wants to place you in that place at that time ("Notice how quiet it is....")
The museum where Home of the Brave Tours is based (the visit is part of the tour) is amazing for the small space they occupy. WW2 memorabilia (including a Jeep and an Army motorcycle from the Indian Motorcycle Company). There is also a small USO stage and a 1940's bar with lanai. The best part of this

Great tour Kenn was a great tour guide. just wished that diamond head was actually diamond head crater instead its diamond head beach.
if you plan on not having a car in Honolulu this tour shows you the whole island where you will find out that a car is not really needed on the island of Oahu.

Kenn was magic!!
Reviewed by: Angus
My girlfriend and I came to Hawaii for our first anniversary. I had been here 3 times beforehand and my gf only once.... It had been over 10 years since my pervious visit and my gf only had two years since her's....
Suffice to say, tour was magic! Kenn whom was our tour guide was awesome, his explainations and knowledge not only on the history of Hawaii, but the views of the Hawaian people themselves was mind blowing...
It was like sitting on a bus with Morgan Freeman doing the narrative, as he gave information freely, repeated important points, and told us exactly where to sit on Pearl Harbour tour so we would get the best vantage point....
As he called us, "Professional Travellers", we were no longer classed as tourists, nor should Kenn be classed merely as a Tour Guide, more aptly described as a "Professor of Hawaiiantology"
Thanks guys! We will definitely recommend you and use you again upon our return to Hawaii when we next visit...
Mahalo!

I attended this tour with my husband who is also a veteran. We both enjoyed the tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip to witness and stand where so much history took place. To see how the soldiers are honored and the peace and serenity which engulfs the monument is a must experience. We highly recommend this tour.

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing
Great Day Experience
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
We took this tour because it was a great variety of the island. Our guide "cowboy" was awesome and very knowledgeable. Very descriptive of the Pearl Harbor attack and then just generally around the island also. The Pearl Harbor tour was a great experience and the guide had some excellent advise to get in and out of the crowds. The Circle island was also amazing as you could see the Dole Plantation, although really only a gift shop as it is no longer a functioning plant, the Mac nut farms, and then see lots of the gorgeous surfing beaches! Overall this was a great tour, but you must be willing to get up SUPER early and be prepared to be gone all day. We were picked up from our hotel at 5:50AM, and weren't returned until around 5:30PM. But it was a great scenic day.

good introduction to Oahu
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous
Pearl Harbor is a must for any hot blooded American. I was on the brink of tears most of the time. Our carefree life in the USA is provided by countless sodiers, policemen, and firemen. They are true heros.
The circle the island tour is a good way to see Oahu within hours. My only suggestion is to have lunch at one of the shrimp trucks instead of a restaurant. Honey's Restaurant is decent but hardly unique. I'd rather have a plate of shrimps on rice from a truck. That, to me, is uniquely Oahu.
The guides are very knowledgeable and friendly, deserving of praise.
It's $ worth spending if one has never been to Oahu.

We have been on many tours throughout our traveling days and this was one of the best we've ever been on.

Arizona tour
Reviewed by: witerhaven
We had Olafe as our tour guide. He is fantastic. I am a history buff and yet I learned more about the Dec 7th attack in that one trip then I have learned in all of my life.
He really really knows his stuff. Thank you to him.
I have only one complaint, the instructions to get to the hotel to meet the tour were very poor.
I think that they would be fine if a person knew the area, but we had never even been on that island. However once again Olafe was great. He waited for us and we made it. I am 61 years old and I have wanted to see that memorial for at least 50 years. I would have been heart broken if I had missed it.
So than you again Olafe

Great Tour and Tour Guide!
Reviewed by: Sharyl
We had so much fun on this tour! We had a great tour guide, Kanoelani! She was really funny, engaging and knowledgeable. I would recommend that you take this tour on your first full day on the island because you will see lots of things that you are going to want to go back to and see on your own. Bring your camera because you are going to have tons of photo opportunities!

Got to see the sights and beaches on the whole island in a day which gave us the opportunity to go back and revisit some of the sights and beaches at a later date. Again Awesome tour and well worth the money!!! Mahalo!!!!

Left Behind, But Great While Aboard
Reviewed by: Lorraine Geseron
The tour was wonderful and well-worth the money. A good overall view. Wonderful companions onboard. Our tour guide, Kanoelani, was very knowledgeable and even stopped at some extra places not on the itinerary. However, at the very last stop before our hotels, she said we had 15 minutes, and when I returned to the parking lot after 12 minutes, the van was pulling away without me!!!! I waved frantically and ran after it, but was not seen. I was stranded, and a woman travelling on my own, with my belongings still onboard. I was quite panicked and didn't know how to get back to town. The van did come back for me after about 10 minutes (she had to find a spot to turn around after another passenger reported me missing), but I was really scared by then. There was no apology from the tour guide, which I did expect, since she left early and did not do a head-count (only 10 on the van). I think the guides should make sure that everyone is there before leaving. It's not a difficult thin

Do at Beginning of Hawaii Visit
Reviewed by: J & F Nap
Great to do at the beginning of the Hawaii visit. It allows you to see bits of all of Oahu. If you go at the beginning, you'll be able to return to certain cites if you felt you didn't spend enough time there. I personally would have liked to spend more than 15 minutes at the Dole Plantation. Amazing to see how terrain changes on such a small area of land! Tour guide, Greg, was very amusing!

Very enjoyable
Reviewed by: Stacie K
I would have to say that this tour was great from beginning to end! Pick up was prompt and the guide actually gets out and calls your name so you don't have to worry about not getting on the wrong tour. Our guide who goes by Misty but has the most beautiful Hawaiin name (of course I would massacre it if I tried to spell it) was a fantastic guide. She knew each one of our names within the first 10 minutes and didn't forget the whole day. I have never learned so much or had such a great time on a tour. We saw things that many people don't get to see and we even got to see 2 leatherback turtles and take pictures of them. For lunch we got to eat at Honey's which was very good so that was a nice view to look at while eating. All in all we could not find a fault except for the unexpected weather that made it hard to see the beautiful color of the ocean. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see the island!!!!

Great Day on Ohau
Reviewed by: Orlando Resident
We had a wonderful day. Our tour host was wonderful. His knowledge of the islands and their history was very impressive. His attitude was so wonderful and layed back. We had a few delays because of others in our group and he kept the day pleasant. We would not have seen some of the highlights he showed us had we done a tour on our own. Because this was a smaller bus we were only about 20 people which made the tour more personal. I don't think we would have enjoyed it as much had we gone on one of those huge tour buses.
Thanks to Cowboy for a wonderful day.
Highly recommend this one.
