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....

Kenn, the guide, was terrific. Extremely knowlegeable with a terrific sense of humor. He made the culture come to life and each site we visited a richer experience. One of the highlights of our first trip to Oahu.

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.

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!!!

It was great, our guide was just great, we had so much fun with him, we went on monday 9/8, sorry i can't remember his name, but he made the trip for us. We really enjoyed all of it. This was our first time and I am so glad we did this. It is a long day and it was well worth the 11 hours.

Enjoyed thoroughly! Our guide, Kenn, made the tour the best! VERY informative, but not boring! He made very helpful suggestions regarding the tour to the extent of suggesting taking our jacket to lunch as the dining area was usually cool and where to sit in the video at Pearl Harbor. We saw A LOT during this tour!

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

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 :)

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

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!
