Home of the Brave Pearl Harbor & Military Base Tour
The best tour I have been on!
I have taken ALOT of tours in my day, and this is by far one of the best I have ever taken. From the minute I got into the (very nice and very CLEAN) charter, the guide, Duke (who just happens to be the son of the owner!) just MADE the day. He was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable of the rich history surrounding both Pearl Harbor and WWII in general.
Throughout the tour, he used humor and wit to share fascinating REAL stories of actual soldiers and events to really make this time in history come alive to all on board. I was just so impressed.
This tour was so much better organized than most other tours I have been on, yet they somehow managed to not make me feel like cattle being herded and pushed around....although we had a schedule to stick to, I never once felt rushed or hurried...it was such an enjoyable day. Duke had a great balance of giving us time on our own to look around the sites and exhibits (rather than treating us like children) yet he was always

Discover Pearl Harbor - Full Day Tour from Waikiki
FULL day
Wow. This was one jam-packed day of History, information, facts and visuals! I went on this tour never having been to Pearl Harbor before, and I didn't really know what to expect...but three generations of my family have served in the Navy, so I was so glad to finally get to go and pay my respects and honor these servicemen.
I knew it was going to be a full day, but I had no idea how much could be fit into just one tour! The entire day was nonstop going...I definitely feel like I got my money's worth as far as history and facts go. This tour is definitely perfect for anyone who wants to know more about our nation's history, in particular WWII and the attacks on Pearl Harbor, even the events leading up to the attack. It was just chock full of facts I never knew...and I consider myself pretty well versed in national history. The tour guide also gave us alot of inside stories of servicemen's familes, etc which really made it hit home. The museum's had REAL people in documentaries talk

Kona Airport Motorcoach Shuttle Transportation (KOA)
the perfect gift
So my husband knows I am a wreck when it comes to dealing with airports and traveling, etc....and by the time I get through the baggage claim and customs and everything, I am usually just so tired and spent and overwhelmed... so when he found out I was going to be going to Hawaii a few days before he could meet me there...he arranged this airport transport ahead of time for me.
It was PERFECT. I had absolutely nothing to worry about....they knew exactly where to take me and I had did was sit back and decompress from the plane! thank you so much...i will book this from now on whenever arriving to the islands, and leaving....makes things so much nicer and easy. book it!

Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Lesson at Puako Bay
so much fun!
I had so much fun doing this. Had never ever been on an SUP board before. Had no idea what I was doing, but the staff was so great. They put me at ease, gave me great instruction, and I got the hang of it...and once I did, man was it a great time!
I had always seen people doing it, and had always wanted to try it but was always to nervous to just do it. So glad I did...I can't wait to go again.

Mandara Spa Facial Treatments at Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort
heaven in hawaii
each year my family goes to the Big Island for vacation...and this resort is the ONLY place we will stay. I had never tried the spa here....have no idea why I wasted all this time now missing out for so long...because after that experience....it will be my very first stop after my nap from the plane! Peaceful, private and quiet setting. Skilled staff, and hey, its in hawaiii...so what more could you possibly ask for? I will see you guys again next year for sure!

Whirlwind tour!
This was one whirlwind tour...and I enjoyed every minute. The Pearl Harbor section of the tour was so good to really see the scene of what happened on such an important date in the world's history. I had always wanted to come here, and the guide, with all his extra background facts and info, just really made the trip that much more special.
Then, wow...the island sightseeing tour was amazing...seeing so much more than I would have if I had tried to drive it all myself...and I could just sit back, relax and enjoy the views and the entire experience. Loved this tour....really appreciate the entire day. Will definitely be telling my friends and family to do this on their next visit!

make your life easy!
This was such a blessing! Usually our family just wakes up the morning of and gets ready and calls a cab or something, but this this time we wanted to save ourselves the stress and hassle and plan ahead...and we also wanted to not be crammed five strong in a taxicab....so we went for the limo!
The kids loved it, and told all their friends at school how "cool" they were getting to ride in a limo...and my husband and I were just so grateful for the smooth and conflict free ride to the airport straight from our hotel.
Be smart, and use this service....stress free is truly priceless these days to us!

WHIRLWIND DAY OF FUN
From the beginning of the tour's pretty drive along the coast...where everything was green and blue and really jungle-like.....all the way to the National Park where it was rocky and arid and just seemed like a completely different island OR WORLD in itself....this was a remarkable day...and really showed the diversity of the Big Island that I really didn't know was there before.
Glad I went on this tour and would definitely tell others to go on it. thanks.

Honeymoon approved.
checked out this luau on our honeymoon, and it was really good. had never been to a luau before, so weren't sure what to expect but we werent disappointed. food was really good, and they had a lot of stuff we had never even seen before...island-type offerings that were really unique. and the show was awesome...exciting and enjoyable. overall a great night and worth the price in our opinion. especially for a fun night out on a honeymoon to dine with my wife and get some entertainment while we are out
