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.

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.

This made the second time we did this tour, it is awesome, you learn so much history about the island that you would not know if you just do the rental car.

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.

We only had one day on Oahu. We were interested in an overview of Pearl Harbor and Oahu. This tour more than fulfilled this objective. Our tour guide was very experienced, enthusiastic, clever, and he treated us like valued customers.

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.

Our tour guide was great and had lots of useful tips and information. The Arizona Memorial was great. Tour was a little long. Stopping at the Dole "plantation" is kind of a joke...it's just a gift shop. Other than Pearl Harbor, Ohau is overrated.

The depth of Kenn's knowledge, the professional delivery of his information and the feeling that we were visiting the island with a friend who wanted to make sure we discovered its many wonders made our day delightful.
We have been on many tours throughout our traveling days and this was one of the best we've ever been on.
Thanks for a marvelous day!

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

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!

The tour was an awesome experience. This tour is a must for anyone traveling to Hawaii. The tour guide by the name of Ken was outstanding and very knowledgeable about the island and its history. 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!!!!

Please go and pay your respects! Tour bus picks you up and tells you how everything goes. We got right in when on some days you must wait an 1 or so. There's a short film before you are boated over to the memorial. It's awe inspiring.
Our drive was a cocky know it all rude person. Well, at least he thought he knew it all. He really sounded uneducated and told us things we did not need to hear. He also took about 12 cig breaks.
Overall great price and pretty good service.

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

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!

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!!!!
