Pearl Harbor Battleships of World War II - Arizona Memorial & USS Missouri Tour / Early Morning Departure
5 Star Tour for a 5 Star WWII Battle Experience!
My wife, daughter, son and I recently took the Battleships of World War II at Pear Harbor early morning tour and were thrilled we did. Our bus driver picked us up at our hotel and politely gave us some interesting commentary regarding Oahu places of interest along the route to Pearl Harbor. After we arrived he guided us to the entrance, had those guests who needed to secure their backpacks, purses or other belongings safely at the check bag center, and then led us through the entry points to pick up our tickets.
There are many attractions to see and we boarded the "Bowfin" Submarine, took a stroll through the Submariners Museum, then ate some delicious hot dogs (lunch included in price) and then boarded the harbor cruise boat manned by some very polite U.S. Navy Sailors and spent some quality time admiring the benevolence of the U.S. Arizona Memorial. After returning from this somber place, we boarded a bus to the U.S.S Missouri where the Treaty between Japan and the U.S. was signed. Our excellent guide had served aboard the USS Missouri during the Korean Conflict and we could tell he took pride in telling us some personal stories that blended with the events of World War II.
We then boarded our tour bus back to Waikiki, and our commentator pridefully took us to see the statue of King Kamehameha, The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific high up in the hills, and continued to give us excellent commentary on the history of the Island and the history of the fascinating places we were seeing. before arriving back at our Waikiki Hotel.
Would I take this tour again: Absolutely! I rate this tour TWO Thumbs UP...Way UP!

Best Guided Tour EVER! Two Thumbs up WAY UP...
I really had no idea of what was in store for my wife and I when I signed up for the Super Ambassador Full Day Package with Private guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it turned out to be the best guided tour we could have ever anticipated! The comfortable Motor Coach picked us up promptly at our designated hotel location. The motor coach driver and guide were gracious and told us various facts, pointed out points of interest along the way, and set the tone for the rest of the day that would be spent at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
When we arrived the group was given their designated tickets and soon our guide a student of BYU University and from the Philippines introduced himself. Datz began our tour and skillfully navigated us through each of the Polynesian Islands exhibits granting us front row seats to each show, gave us back stage tours, and overall made this one of the best tours I have ever been on! We were delighted to experience the rich cultural heritages of each island group, ate fantastic food at the Luau, and were fascinated with the finale show "Ha' The Breath of Life".
Two thumbs up WAY up! Would I recommend this Super Ambassador Package with Private Guide? Absolutely!
