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.

Good tour for a look at the memorial and a quick look at the island. Our guide Lani was really good. The bus was too cold for most of us passengers.

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!

We had the best time. Our host, Hana, made the day one of the most memorable and newsworthy of the Island of Oahu and Hawaii. From Pearl Harbor to the most beautiful views and beaches, it is truly a day to remember. Maloha, Hana, and Hawaii Activities

Our bus driver was great and very helpful. We could not have seen all that we covered in one day on our own. The one day tour was well worth the cost.

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.

This was a trip that was made even more wonderful by your driver and tour guide, Hana. He should be commended for making twelve hours of sightseeing more than worthwhile and not at all tiring due to his constant interaction and oration. He made the trip for us! Thanks!!!

FANTASTIC!! Hana - The tour guide MADE this trip! He ensured that we got our place efficiently in line for Pearl Harbor and his narration during the Island Tour was wonderful (informative AND entertaining). We would definitely take this tour on a return visit and we recommend this tour to anyone! Thank you!

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.

This is a great "can't miss" tour....second time for the parents, first time for the kids. We learned a ton about the island and the culture....and our kids are still bringing up points they learned on the tour. Ask for Ken to be your driver....he's TERRIFIC!! He "teaches" by telling "stories"...and this "stuck" with our kids. They thought he was very entertaining and retained much of what they heard b/c of his "stories". Enjoy the sights!!

WOrds cannot explain this activity. My wife and I took a vacation to Hawaii as our yearly get away, no special occasion. I served in the military so this was a must for me to go experience. It was recommended for us to arrive early at pearl harbor. It's true that there is a massive line but I recommend that you go a little later than 6am because the line moves pretty quick. Let me explain the process because I did not see anyone mention it. The memorial opens at 7am and people enter inside the welcome center and get a card with a # on it, which puts you in a group. I estimate the group to be about 50 people. After that time, you just roam around the welcome center until your group # is called. Then you stand in line to go into a theater where you will see ACTUAL footage from the war and it's very touching and heart stopping. After that, you go outside to the water taxi (boat) which takes you out to the actual memorial. you can just feel the mood there. Some people can be disr

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 best trip I ever took and I have been to the Islands 4 times. Our guide Hana was excellent and really knew his history, He made the trip so enjoyable that I would recommend it to anyone and tell them to ask they be put on Hana's bus. The whole trip was awesome. We stopped at Pearl Harbor then on to Dole Plantation and from there the bus ride was enjoyable and cool. Lunch was good! I would take this tour again.

My sister & I enjoyed being on a small tour (ten people plus our guide) as it served as an intimate way of getting to know eachother. Our guide, Lani was wonderful. Lani's secret plan for the best viewing of the Arizona Memorial worked out perfectly. Overall, for the Circle Island tour, Lani had an excellent knowledge of Hawaii and its culture. We loved her stories, her unique laugh & her choice of Hawaiian music.

Our driver was entertaining and very attentive to our needs. He kept the tour on track and shared his knowledge and wit which kept us involved in what we were seeing and doing. He was a teacher as well as a tour guide. For first time visitors to Oahu, this tour is a must see. We did not have to hassle with a rental car and directions to major sights of the area. There were plenty of potty breaks. Try and eat something before the tour begins since you can't eat on the bus. Sit on the right hand side of the tour bus to get the best view of the North Shore beaches. To get the most out of your first trip to Oahu, tours are the way to go.
