We were not happy at being forced to eat at a particular place at the golf resort. Food was a little pricey. The mandatory tipping that they added to our bill was ridiculous. They know that they are guarenteed a tip, so they never came back to check on us. Everyone at our table felt the same way. Also, their computer that printed out the food bill was "down". No one was able to see their detailed food bill. Maybe consider other food stops other than the one you do. Other than the food stop, they tour went well.

We found the individual island depictions to be very informative and entertaining. The students of the university do a wonderful job providing incite to their native lands. The Canoe Pagent was wonderful. The luau was less than we anticipated. The entertainment was very good but the food was little more than a buffet meal. The night time Horizons show was spectacular just as advertized. We were really impressed with the Samoan knife and fire dancing. He was very entertaining.
Thank you for a wonderful day filled activity.

We enjoyed our tour completely. Our tour guide was very informative. On the day of our tour one of our destinations was not open but we were still able to fill the whole day with activities. We would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see the complete island. I have been to Oahu before but was not able to see the island this thoroughly. This was very worthwhile.

Thank you for allowing us to join in on the celebration at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7. This was a special day for myself and my family.
I enjoyed the trip but would have liked more time to see the museum exhibits. The meal was ok but the eating place was way too crowded.
Brandon was a great guide. He answered qustions and kept us going all day.

My family enjoyed the information that was shared by Lani, our tour guide. We enjoyed seeing the "off the beaten path" locations that we went to. It was a great overview. I'd recommend it as a tour to do early on in your visit so you can go back to some of the places if you want to, some of the stops were very short.

We LOVED our tour and our tour guide Hana! He was very informative and hilarious!! If you go to Oahu n just stay in Waikiki, you're missing out! We are SUPER glad we took this tour. The Island is beautiful and you cant see that from Waikiki. Ive read a review where someone complained the lunch spot on this tour was pricey? No way, its very reasonable and they have a huge variety of food you can eat with various prices. It was a very nice place to eat. We are a young couple (in our 20's) and this was our honeymoon. This tour was the highlight of our trip! THANK YOU HANA!

It was a good trip, the Arizona Memorial was awe-inspiring, the USS Missouri tour informed me of things I didn't. Also since it was the anniversary of the signing of the Peace Treaty, they were sprucing it up. A little disappointed couldn't get out in Punchbowl or downtown, but time constraints may have played a part in that.
Overall it was excellent, our tour guide was well informed and easy to understand.

Besides traveling with family, I had the neighbor next door with us. Her husband was a Pearl Habor survivor so this day was very special to her. To me, it was a once in a life time experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to celebrate with such a special ceremony.
The tour itself was ok. I was disappointed we did not get to spend more time in the museums and to hear more about the events that happened that day.
The lunch stop was too crowded. I was not able to set with my family during the meal.

What a wonderful experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to be able to paricipate in the dedication. To me, it was a once in a life time experience.
The food at our lunch stop was ok. The room they placed us in to eat was not acceptable. It was too crowded and I was not able to be any where near my family when we ate.
We did not have lots of time to visit the museums.

Trip was enjoyable. Tour guide (Happy Pappy) was the best. He gave a lot of information out and answered any of your questions. He made the trip.
Would recommend this trip. However I would recommend to take this trip early in your stay, should you like to go out on your own and see some of the sights that you were not able to spend much time at.

This was the only thing on the trip that was a concern. We was not given enough time to listen to the audio at Pearl which I felt would have enhanced the experience. Wish we have been given more time there and one less stop along the road so the driver could smoke!!
Also, the Dole Plantation was nothing. We only had time to look or buy something, not what I came for, and no time to take the tour of the plantation. If I have not asked one of the workers who was planting the pineapples some questions I would not have learned anything about the pineapple crops.
I did thoroughly enjoy the driver. He was very knowledgeable and made the drive fun. The sharing of music from a family tape added a personal touch.

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.

My husband and I were the first ones on and 11 hours later the last ones off the tour bus. Kenn was fabulous and kept us attentive and entertained the entire time. He gave his "professional travelers" a bunch of tips as so we wouldn't be mistaken as tourists. In addition to the detailed facts and stories he shared, he also had pictures to support the information he was providing.
We did not rent a car on our vacation to Oahu -there was no need. What we saw on the tour and learned from Kenn along the way was above and beyond what we would've done on our own, had we rented a car. Thanks again Kenn!

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!!!!

My spouse and I opted for the Pearl Harbor + circle island tour - which is an all day event.
Our tour guide/driver Kimo knew the history of the island, was funny, and made the entire trip enjoyable. Kimo was able to deliver exactly what we had hoped for, island history, great photo ops, and out of the way discoveries. We also had a great time getting to know the other tour participants. I would recommend this tour for all adults.
