Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Really enjoyed being part of a small tour group of just seven. Our guide Dennis was very informative and a great resource for all questions even those not related to the tour. A great way to get a glimpse at everything the island has to offer when planning the rest of your stay in Oahu. Make this tour one of the first things you do!

A Day To Remember

Reviewed by: Joanne

We took the "Home Of The Brave" tour and it is a day that will live in infamy for us. If you are a history buff, you will think you have died and gone to heaven. We spent our time with Brandon (the world's greatest and most informed tour guide) as he took us through the events leading up to and and including the attack on Pearl Harbor and ending at Punchbowl National Cemetery. If you do no other tour when you are on Oahu, this is the one to do. Brandon provided unique insight into the historical events leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Because of his enthusiasm, we have since started to do our own research into the whole history that is available and not just the bits and pieces that we have seen through movies.This is just a bit if the info that we have found.

This is an exceptional tour and the best bang for your buck-so to speak. Thank you Brandon and Hawaii Activities.

Don't skip this tour!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was an amazing tour! Our guide was a veteran that was able to give us a different perspective to Pearl Harbor. It was not sugar coated or one-sided either. Simply amazing. He informed us prior to stopping at places how much time we would have (and what we would have less time with if we went over) and gave us instructions on how to get the most out of our time (what to do first, what not to miss). The circle island portion was insightful, and we had just about as much time as we could want at most stops (excepting the Dole plantation - kids got caught up at the pearl table). The kids were tired as we had been out late the night before at a luau, but they had enough down time between stops and napped. Not that between stops were dull moments - but for the most part interesting facts, legends, history, and jokes were shared throughout the whole tour - they were just really tired from the late night before! We had thought about renting a car and driving around on our own agenda, but

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

A wonderful and worthy tour

Reviewed by: Carlo Carrasco

I took this tour on November 29, 2008, and I must say that it was a day filled with history, culture, and many interesting discoveries. The tour guide was very informative and entertaining to spend time with during the long rides, and thanks to him the trips were never boring. Not only that, he even warned us about some things like the not-so-organized handling of the train tours in Dole Plantation, the over-priced nuts, etc. I'm glad he helped us.

The day was cloudy and somewhat rainy, yet these weather conditions sure gave us an intense-yet-fun moment at the Pali Lookout where the winds blew hard. I never felt winds that strong, even compared to typhoons in the Philippines.

Pearl Harbor is easily the most educational part of the tour. It has great history written all over it and it was quite a nice experience to visit the Arizona Memorial and see the Missouri.

With many interesting stops (although the Dole stop is kinda short), this tour is very much worth the money and tim

We had a great experience and our tour guide Kenn was very informative and funny to be with. Visiting the Arizona was a very sobering experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone. I would have preferred a different choice for lunch, as eating at a golf course was not what I preferred but again I think the rest of the tour was fantastic and beautiful

A must for first timers!

Reviewed by: Mark

New to the Hawaiian islands, I thought, in doing research, that a comprehensive all-day tour of the island of Oahu would be in order. I am so GLAD that we chose this tour and had a wonderful, experienced guide with a great sense of humor. This tour provided the opportunity to touch upon MANY of the incredible sights the island has to offer and inspired us to create our reamining days' itineraries around spots we had briefly visited, photographed, and were inspired to see more of. The tour and the guides knowledge really opened our eyes to the wonders of the island in "real time" vs. just using a guide book purchased prior to the vacation. Strongly recommend for first-time visitors.

This tour is a great introduction to Oahu and Hawaii. It gives a background history and setting to the place where we were holidaying. Our tour leader Tavita was exceptional, very informative and extremely entertaining with his commentary and songs. I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes to know a bit more about the place in which they are staying. The day may be a bit long for families with young children.

Added bonus for us was the USS Ronald Reagan Aircraft Carrier coming into port as we were out on the Arizona. It was immense!!!

This was our first time in Hawaii. Our guide Misty (in English) was friendly, informative and very knowledgable of the Hawaiian culture. I wished a stop could have been longer (Dole) but on the whole we seen more of the island than we would have on our own in the time alloted before our ship sailed. Would recomend this tour to anyone.

Great Tour

Reviewed by: Val

I was impressed by the audio visuals used and the visuals used for USS Arizona tour and the Home of Brave portion of the tour.
The tour guide gave us some highlights of the USS Arizona attack as we waited in line for the Memorial to open.
Everything worked well: the extra tidbits, pictures in the van/shuttle, audio visuals; and the stops we made were interesting that also related with the audio visuals.
At the end of the tour, we stopped at a little museum and we were presented with a free post card that showed the areas that we had visited.

Oh - the meal on base that was all you can eat (not included in the price) but very good and less than $10. Great tour - it was a great way to start the vacation off in spite of the rain we experienced in the morning as we waited for the Memorial to open. I now have a $2 poncho that I purchased outside the Memorial and never had to use for the 12 days of my Hawaii stay. It's more of a conversation piece now :)

Ariz Memorial & Circle Island Tour

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Very nice tour and value for the money. We visited Oahu 6/12 through 6/16/08 and wanted to see the Arizona Memorial and some of the island without having to rent a car. Friends of ours warned us that if we didn't want to spend hours in line (the Arizona Memorial is free to the public) and to be ensured of seeing the Memorial, booking a tour was the best bet. This tour enabled us to do that. We were the first group on the Memorial and it was very worth seeing. We very much enjoyed touring points of interest but we would of like to spend more time at the Dole Pineapple plantation, 20 minutes wasn't long enough. Overall it was very pleasant and our tour guide was excellent!
