Great Value
If you are interested in learning in-depth the attach on Pearl Harbor, the role that subs played in the war, the expanded use of aircraft during the war and the final surrender that took place on the USS Missouri then making use of the new passport that's being offered is for you. I spent an entire day taking advantage of the audio tours that are part of the passport package and was able to do all these things at my own pace. Admission to the sub, the Aviation Museum, the USS Missouri and the shuttle ride to Ford Island as well as the audio guide equipment are all included plus, if you prefer, you can have a guided tour of the Missouri instead of the audio. Of course there is no admission charge to visit the Arizona Memorial but you will get an audio guide device to tour the museum and the park area. The bottom line is that this passport offer is awesome if you have the time and are a WWII history buff.

Great service
I have used Platinum Limousine as my airport pickup and return service on Oahu for many years. I have always found them to be on time with new extremely clean vehicles and very knowledgeable, friendly, well groomed, courteous drivers. After a long tiring flight it's nice to have a Platinum car and driver waiting for you rather than having to wait for a bus shuttle or cab to take you to your hotel!

Great
This was great activity! The historian who was on board with us did an excellent job of explaining everything that we were seeing along the coast. The food was really good and there was plenty of it. As an added bonus to our wonderful evening, we were first entertained by several schools of dolphins and then we sighted several whales. What a wonderful sight! The crew were very curtious and helpful and the live entertainment and the drinks were great. Definitely a highlight of my stay and something that I would do again!!

Great
This was a great activity. Our tour guide, Franny, did a wonderful job in explaining everything in detail. She was extremely knowledgeable. This is a very long day and you should be prepared to walk on some uneven trails and also for weather changes from sunny and warm to rainy and chilly. If you really want to learn about the Big Island in depth and what affect we have had and can have on its environment, then this is the tour for you!

Whale Watch Cruise on Glass Bottom Boat (from Kailua-Kona Pier)
Excellent
This was an excellent activity! We were able to see eight whales and two were extremely close to the boat. Captain Dave and his crew did a wonderful job of hosting us and describing all that we were seeing. As an added bonus - - -the Mai Tai's were great!!

Creation - A Polynesian Journey Night Show
Good not great
I had attended the Creation show several years ago shortly after it opened. At that time, it was a little “rough around the edges” so I thought that I would see if they had improved the show since back then. I am happy to say that the show has improved greatly and I now can recommend it without reservation. It is your typical Hawaiian dancing type show so if you’ve been to some other similar show around town you may want to pass on this one unless you have a spare night and are looking for something more to do. The show is very colorful and the performers are extremely talented and work hard at putting on a good show. I would suggest that you save some money and just sign up for the cocktail show. The dinner portion is your typical hotel buffet style meal and is nothing special.

Handy
I have booked Platinum Limousine Service for years through Hawaii Activities for my Oahu arrival and departure needs. I have always found their drivers to be on time and very courteous. Their vehicles are very new and always clean.

A Must See
I have booked the “Polynesian Cultural Center – Full Day Ambassador Package” with Hawaii Activities many times. I have always found their voucher instructions to be concise and accurate. I particularly appreciate the fact that Hawaii Activities will leave a e-mail or hotel voicemail message for you reminding you of your upcoming activity and any necessary updated information.
The Polynesian Cultural Center is a MUST SEE when visiting the Islands! It is an amazing full day of learning the culture of the people who established the Islands. Each Village that you will visit will provide you with a description of their creation and demonstrate their unique culture through dance, song, and demonstrations. The interesting thing about this day is that nearly every individual who is working at the Center is a full-time student at BYU of Hawaii which is located next door. The money raised from the admission fee to the Center funds the scholarship program of the University which su

Great
I have always booked my Platinum Limousine through Hawaii Activities and have always been extremely pleased with both my arrival and departure experience each time that I visit Honolulu. The cars are always newer models and very clean and the drivers are always on time and extremely courteous. In my opinion, it is much better to pay the extra and have a personal car and driver pick you up at your hotel when you want and safely deliver you to the airport in luxury rather than ride a shuttle bus that stops at dozens of hotels picking up people on the way to the airport. After all, you’re on vacation so I believe that you should enjoy it and spurge a little. When you have great drivers like Jared, it’s well worth the added cost.

Interesting Day
I have booked all my Pearl Harbor Tours over the years with Hawaii Activities and have always had a great day. This was a new tour being offered and I thought that it would be the perfect tour that would allow me to visit four major WWII sites in one full comprehensive day. It met all of my expectations and then some. The actual tour was very informative and moving. Our driver/guide, Francis, did a fantastic job during a day filled with problems. First, the bus was running late with all the different pick-ups and it didn’t reach my hotel until a half-hour after my scheduled pick-up time. Then we had to meet another bus and transfer all those people to our bus. This made us later yet and put us right in the middle of the slow moving rush hour morning traffic. When we finally got to the Arizona Memorial we were running behind. Then when it was our turn to finally enter the movie room, the electricity went out in the entire Visitor Center. We had to skip the movie and head right
