Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

Very productive day

Reviewed by: Aimee

We got picked up by 6am by cousin Hana. When we reached Pearl Harbor, we were informed that you are not allowed to bring ANY bags past the entrance. You are allowed to bring wallet, camera and bottled water. You can store your bag for $3. We got about an hour to explore the museums and take pictures before we were admitted to the theater to watch a 23 minute video. From there, we were taken on a boat to go to the memorial. You get about 20 minutes at the memorial before heading back. Then you get another 20 minutes before it's time to go back on the bus. Side note: They do have a snack shop. Luckily, Hana was nice enough to let everyone bring back food on the bus.

It was 9:40am and time to explore the island. I loved every minute of it. Hana was very informative along the way and had a great sense of humor. We stopped for lunch at about 1pm. We made our way up to the north shore, back down the windward side and ending at Diamond Head before dropping everyone off at Waikiki. We made

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

Definitely a day to remember !

Reviewed by: David & Carol NZ

Having taken the Grand Circle Tour on a previous holiday we decided to do it again. Keow our driver and guide made the second time so enjoyable. His vast knowledge and information along with his friendly personality made it a day to remember.
Giving us photo taking stops along the way and interspersing his commentary with his own humour kept us well amused
It was a long day so maybe not so suitable for famililes with young children but for all other ages well worth considering as it gave the opportunity to see many areas that we would have otherwise missed , the beautiful beaches, magnificent views and interesting places. These along with our very special guide definitely made this a day we will always remember.

Reviewed by: MARK

THE DRIVER/GUIDE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND KEPT US ENTERTAINING FOR THE MOST PARTS. HE GAVE US CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS AND WAS A GREAT ASSET TO HAVE IN THIS TOUR.

WE COULD HAVE SPENT MORE TIME ON THE ISLAND TOUR INSTEAD OF THE CULTURAL CENTER.

FINALLY THE NIGHT SHOW WAS WELL DONE. SUPRISED TO SEE HOW STUDENTS COULD PUT UP A PROFESSIONAL SHOW LIKE THIS. SOMETIMES I WONDER WHETHER THEY COME HERE TO STUDY FOR A CAREER OR ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES.

EXCEPTIONAL!

Reviewed by: Courtney

I HIGHLY recommend this tour to all!!!

I took this tour with my family about a year ago, and my brother and I told ourselves we must come back with our friends to enjoy it again!

Our tour guide, Mr. (Insert Several Incredibly Long Names Here) Polamalu was incredible! Personable, hilarious, engaging, knowledgeable...pure awesome-ness!! He made the tour so much fun, and on behalf of my group I'd like to say "MAHALO" to him for his service! Side Note: During the Circle Island Tour, I recommend everyone try Dole Whip Ice Cream at the Dole Plantation stop. It is truly some of the best ice cream I've ever had.

The second leg of our tour included an activity-filled rollick through the Polynesian Culture Center! The Center is so clean, everyone is so accommodating and nice, and the activities were very enjoyable! I loved watching the coconut slicing and juicing presentation! It was so informative...and very funny, I might add! Every student and staff member working there is a physica

The Surf Bus North Shore Fun Tour - Snorkel, Bike, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Waterfall

Surf Bus great!

Reviewed by: Lisa H

First time on surf bus, me(45), niece(25), son(9), daughter(4). Only paid for 1 activity each because we didnt know the time schedule or what would work best. Pick up 8:15am. Nice tour of different beaches at north shore. Finally arrived at 1st activity spot at 10:30 me/daughter went to waimea beach, niece/son waimea falls and walked to us. Others did snorkeling. Picked up at 1pm. Next stop haleiwa where we got 1 paddle board and 1 double kayak. Son loved padded boarding by himself! We switched off and met back at 3. Others walked through town and ate. We did great with just one activity eac (2 waimea waterfall entrance, 1 paddle board, 1 kayak). Others did th snorkel then th paddle board the 2nd half. The falls walk was hot and long but my son still enjoyed. Beach was nice for me and my 4 year old to float in the calmer waves. Definitely enjoyed our trip! Nice ending was a couple days later I realized I had left my daughter's life jacket (brought a good one for my entir vaca

Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor Tour & Circle Island Sightseeing

The Great Pearl Harbour and Circle

Reviewed by: JaySee

We were lucky enough to have our guided tour with Hawaii activities, a group of professionals. It was an 11hour tour with guide Jonathen (one of the few best guides I ever encountered). It was a detailed tour about Pearl Harbour and the sunken ships followed by a detailed circle island tour where we were able to cover an ultra modern township on one side of Hawaii and a rural towanship on another side of hwaii followed by a fusion of both in the middle.Covering around 10 beaches in a single day was way above our expectation.I just wish to be there again with Hawaii activities for all the 5 island tours, all the adventure rides. We are coming next Summer again with a longer duration and we will for sure take the guidance again of Hawaii activities, a guide with Excellence. Mahalo.

Not much of a tour. Driver OK - very little information given during ride, made a few recommendations. Driver dropped everyone off then went surfing for both the morning and afternoon sessions.
Other folks in group disappointed in the amount of walking, lack of bike helmets and places where the road had no bike trail.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets with Island Sightseeing Tour

A great way to see the island

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This is a great way to see the island. The driver was very knowledgeable, and we visited some beautiful areas. We had about 15 min. at each stop, which was fine, except at the Dole plantation. Honestly, I dont know why they bother. In 15 min we had time to get our ice cream, and that was it. No time to browse the gift shop at all, or browse the grounds at all. Either allow more time at Dole, or skip it altogether. The driver could use a bell of some sort. We often had to wait for people who didnt return when they were supposed to. I dont know if those delays made much difference, we still got to the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1pm, which was plenty of time. The evening show after the luau was fantastic.

Excellent from start to finish, our guide was so entertaining we had a wonderful time, he was full of information about anything you wished to know about, but also talented when it came to telling the odd joke and impressive when he sang, he got the whole coach full of strangers in the morning becoming friends by the end of the trip. This adventure was first class and I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone of all ages, there was something for everyone to enjoy with plenty of stops for photo opportunities or just marvel at the outstanding scenery.

The best of the tour where our guide " aunt Em " she was more like a grandmother and she was so nice and sweet and she told us so many things.
The vehichle was not so good as I thought. I know the roads are pretty bad some places but in a big bus it´s more comftable.
But we visited some nice places, my favourit was the temple, the beaches and the lookouts.

Very inclusive!

Reviewed by: Cindyh

As this was my first visit to Oahu and Hawaii, I wanted to see as much as I possibly could. This tour did was great! We saw much of the island with a few stops here and there. Some of the things we saw were merely through the bus window, but being able to see so much of the island in one day was wonderful. I would recommend doing this tour near the beginning of your trip so if there is anything you find particularly interesting, you can go back. Pearl Harbor was amazing. This is a good tour if you only want a couple hours there.

Our tour guide was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about the locations we visited, friendly and shared many interesting folklore stories during the tour.

Very interesting, time flew

Reviewed by: Lars D

The activity lasted 14 hours, but we were never bored and the time seemed to fly by. A great guide/bus driver in Henry, an entertaining samoan, helped greatly.

You get to see many of the famous beaches, mountains and other parts of Oahu, as well as the Dole plant (where we spent so little time that it was almost a waste) and the Polynesian cultural center.

The buffet was OK, as expected, but nothing special. The shows before and after though, were very good. A must see for all visiting Oahu.

Good value for the money.

We had such an amazing tour guide. He was so informative about the island in general. He talked about all kinds of plants, animals, history of the island, celebrities, hot tourist and local spots, restaraunts, activities, and pearl harbor. He was a walking Hawaiian encyclopedia. Every question we asked he was able to answer. He even had a notebook of pictures just incase he needed to show us something not found on the tour. The tour was an all day event that seemed short. Before we knew it the time creeped up and our tour was coming to an end. His name was Ken and I would take that tour again only with him. My whole family learned so much and throughout our vacation we were able to answer all of our other tours questions and they were so impressed; that was the best part.

Reviewed by: Linda

Having lived on Oahu for 5.5 years in the 50s, my sister and I were anxious to visit old haunts, outside the Waikiki area and this tour certainy accomplished that for us. Our guide, Greg, went above and beyond the list of attractions/sights we were scheduled to see and had such a breadth of knowledge about the islands' history, culture and general Hawaiian topics that we came away from the tour much more informed than when we started it. He was witty, caring and very dedicated to his job, making all his passengers feel very special for a day.

From giving us hints about how to get the best seats on the boat for the Arizona Memorial in the morning until the time he dropped us off - exhausted - at the end of the day, touring with Greg was like being part of an extended family.

If there were more than 5 stars, this tour and the guide would get them. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves - on the first day of our 10-day trip - and set the standard by which we judged the others we took

We just came back from our Hawaii vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It started off in Pearl Harbor which is just amazing and a very powerful experience. We then continued onto Dole Pineapple plantation (make sure you try a Dole Whip) and the North Shore. We then continued onto other amazing sites along the western side of the island, including lunch on a secluded area on the water. Our tour guide was hilarious, and just an all around great guy who really added to the experience. I can't wait to go back to Hawaii to take the tour again. I would recommend this to anyone who is going to Oahu for a vacation.
