Hawaii
We had an awesome guide, Tony! During the city tour, he really gave so much important and valuable history and background of Hawaii for someone who has never been to Hawaii or know much about how the state came about.
Our Pearl Harbor tour was great! Would have definitely added the USS Missouri tour as we felt we wanted more time at Pearl Harbor.
Passport gets you in the park, and into some attractions. Apparently not the Arizona tour, as I was told thats a seperate tour and they were all sold out when I was there. That was disappointing.
Loved the information on the tour prior to getting to Pearl Harbor tour guide was awesome and knowledgeable and kept it fun. Was very helpful with all questions along the way. Great way to see Pearl Harbor
This was our first time traveling to Hawaii and the Magnum Helicopter Doors-Off Island Tour was our first activity. An absolutely incredible experience. You get to see the whole island and popular sites to visit. It is honestly breathtaking. Anyone who visits Hawaii should definitely try this out especially with the amazing staff who made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Thank you so much !
We had such a great experience on this tour! Our driver was awesome. He was super helpful and explained all the changes due to COVID. They had our numbers on the list in case they needed to call us to make sure we got back on the bus. The city tour was just a quick drive by and no getting off the bus. It was the perfect amount of time to view everything. 2 hours was plenty of time for the memorial as well as the two museums available.
This was a must do tour! We did the 8 hour tour and it was the perfect amount of time at both places.
Very humble experience to witness the oil seeping from U.S.S. Arizona after all these years. The video was very informative.
Highly recommend to EVERYONE!
We had the best flight! It was our first time on Oahu. This was a wonderful way to see the island from the air before we started exploring. We had a great pilot who was very knowledgeable. We will definitely be doing this again!
This was definitely one of my favorite experiences. I highly recommend it. You see the island in all of its beauty. Also arrive a little early so you can get to film an extra little film on site.
Make sure you bring good sunglasses and I recommend either a bun or braid if you have long hair because just a ponytail will still hit you a bit. It does get chilly so bring long sleeves. And if you’re a freeze baby long pants too.
And if you can’t see something clearly on your feel free to ask your pilot to flip the helicopter around so you can get a better view! They’re super nice and accommodating about making sure you can see :)
Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful and Went out of their way to make sure it was a Great experience. Evan was not only a great pilot, but a great tour guide as well.
This is a must do!! There's so much history to see and learn about! Absolutely amazing to honor those who served for our freedom. So many different things and neat that you get your picture when you arrive to take home.
Good experience. We need more time in Pearl habour. 2.5hrs isn’t enough. Too much to unpack there
This Pearl Harbor tour was more than what I had expected. I expected to just be dropped off at the location of Pearl Harbor to tour it on my own, which would have been ok. But the trolley ride was enjoyable, and the driver was very knowledgeable and informative about the events or Pearl Harbor, and also the history of the island as well. He was very entertaining, humorous and personal able, relating well with his clients, getting them involved in the tour. He assured that we all know what to expect and what was expected of us. We had plenty of time to explore and to pay or respect to the men and the events of that terrible day in history. I would recommend this tour to all I know when they visit Oahu and hope that they are lucky enough to get our guide for this experience.
Aloha Pamela,
This is so wonderful to hear! Thank you for taking the time to share this. We are very grateful that you joined us.
Mahalo nui loa! (Thank you very much!)
Marlon was an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable and funny. Social distancing and super clean bus! I learned so much about Pearl Harbor and Honolulu! Highly recommend!
Great tour! The guide was very knowledgeable about the island's history and pointed out may wonderful views, art murals, and landmarks as we drove towards the harbor. Pearl Harbor was a WONDERFUL experience and we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted and visit the gift shop.
Aloha Casey,
We are very pleased to hear of your enjoyment! Thank you for your recommendation and high rating. We are very grateful that you joined us.
We hope to see you again in the near future. Our Circle Island Tour does not disappoint.
Mahalo!
It was so nice to just jump on the bus and let Frank tell us about the history. He was an amazing tour guide and there was no stress of knowing where to go. He was very professional and kind. He was also very knowledgeable.
We had a 1/2 day private tour with Marie. She was absolutely fantastic! We had limited time during our trip due to holiday closures but really wanted to see Pearl Harbor. Marie was very flexible with our schedule and helped us make the list out of our tour. Our family is not really into “history and sight seeing” but she made this a very memorable experience!
At first, I was scared to see the helicopter, but with four to five seatbelts, it felt very safe!
The takeoff and flight were more comfortable than a regular airplane. There was no turbulence!! It was amazing.
最初ヘリコプターを見るまでは怖かったですが、
4~5個のシートベルトをつけるのでかなり安全!
テイクオフも、フライトも普通の飛行機より快適でした。
揺れがない!!すごかったです。
Our driver( Larry ) was funny, entertaining and informative, which he blends together that got the crowd laughing, intrigued and bouncing questions back. He was prompt, professional and made the tour. The bus was comfortable and when the pickup changed not by the company but by the city Veltra contacted us by phone, after trying to reach us by email to make sure we didn’t miss our pickup, so 5 stars all around.
Our guide Kahleo was phenomenal! He made sure we enjoyed ourselves while remembering that this is a somber trip.
We had a fantastic lunch as well!
Tour is exactly as described. Our tour guide Larry was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and funny. He went out of his way for us. We chose this tour because it’s convenience of time, where most tours went all day.
Larry with Royal Star handled our tour.... if you find a way to replicate him, you will be well served (as well future attendees). He was knowledgeable, fun, affable and a perfect fit for the thread that ties these parts of the tour together.
Cemetery was humbling and very moving - at the very time we drove through, military was preparing for an internment that day.
Downtown tour was just right - highlighting both historical and current buildings and sharing information for possible additional visits later.
Arizona Memorial - website information helped us prepare well (clear bags allowed us to bring cameras and other items). The presentations at the visitor center were informative, and the video presentation was very moving. Little was said on the transport to the memorial, and our time there was memorable -- anyone who visits and is not moved by the sacrifice and losses is missing something.
Missouri was very interesting as well. Self-guided touring allowed for us to take the time needed to explore areas we found interesting. We did not see the Air Museum (but it's on the list next time). Transfers to and from Ford Island were well timed and operated - then it was time for Larry to take us "home".
ONLY complaint - our visit at both the Arizona and Missouri seemed a little rushed. We had about an hour before our tickets for the video, then seemed to have only ten minutes at the memorial (I understand might have been time for lunch for the tender captains?) and then ten minutes before our bus to Missouri (and find time for lunch). At Missouri, we had at most 90 minutes from drop off to time to board return bus back to the visitor center. Even another fifteen minutes at each memorial would have allowed for a more relaxing and reflective visit.
We were told to be at the airport by 6 am. Flight left. 2 hours later. No representative ever met us at the airport in Lihue or Oahu. Did not receive any instructions as to where we had to go once we landed in Honolulu. Our flight back to Lihue was supposed to arrive at 7 pm. We were put on a later flight so didn't arrive in Lihue till 9:30 pm. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The above made for a longer day than expected. Felt we should have been told this information .
Tour Guide was amazing, so knowledgable about everything relating to the Missouri and WW2 and the history.
This was a great tour! Our driver/guide had lots of fun stories about history and culture of everything we saw. It was a good amount of time at each place.
The USS Missouri is great. Take the guided tour! Our guide had some great stories. I also enjoyed having time to explore on my own.
The USS Arizona Memorial and other memorials were very humbling. So grateful for the men and women who sacrificed their lives that day so I can enjoy the freedom I now have. It was quite humbling to stand over the tomb of those men in the USS Arizona. I also enjoyed the Walk of Honour. My only regret was not having enough time to explore the other things in and around that site.
This was a great starter tour to show me what I might like to do next time. The company from booking to resort pick-up and drop off to not having to navigate the traffic made it well worth the investment. I highly recommend this for everyone. I learned a lot!
I also greatly appreciated the poncho to use as we had rain off and on all day. Unexpected but awesome bonus!
My husband and I really enjoyed our trip. we were able to move around at our leisure and spend and much or as little time on each exhibit. Everyone in your family should experience Pearl Harbor. it truly does give you a new perspective and appreciation for those that serve our country protecting us!!
I participated with my parents. I thought it would be only in English, but there were pilots who could speak Japanese, so my parents enjoyed it as well. It was really windy since there were no windows, but it became a great memory. The view of Hawaii from the sky is amazing! The price is high, but I think it's worth it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
両親と三人で参加しました。英語だけかと思っていましたが、パイロットの方は日本語が話せる方もいて、両親も楽しんでいました。窓無しのため、本当に風が強いですが、いい思い出になりました。空からのハワイの景色は最高です!値段は張りますが、人生一度の経験として価値はあると思います。
It was thrilling and refreshing. I had a bit of anxiety at first, but it disappeared right after boarding. The strong winds made it difficult to take photos with my smartphone, but you can purchase the actual flight footage later (which includes our footage), so it's fine to focus on enjoying the scenery. The staff and pilot were great, and it was an enjoyable tour from start to finish. I absolutely recommend this tour, first class.
スリル満点、爽快でした。
若干不安もありましたが、搭乗直後にその不安も吹っ飛びました。
風の強さでスマホでの撮影は難しいですが、実際の飛行映像もあとで購入できる(自分たちの映像もあり)ので景色を見ることに専念しても良いかと。
スタッフ、パイロットの対応も問題無く、終始楽しいツアーでした。
絶対お勧めのツアー、ファーストクラスで。
My son is an enormous military buff. We were spending the holidays in Kauai and decided to make a day trip to Pearl Harbor. So worth it. Very enjoyable and educational. Really can’t say enough.
Aloha!
We had an amazing flight enjoying overwhelming views of the island, amongst others the North Shore, beaches, mountains, volcanos, Waikiki, Pearl Harbour and a waterfall. Our very experienced pilot Miguel explained everything in detail and provided a lot of insight.
This was a once-in-a-liftetime experience, which we do not want to miss, and the highlight of our O'ahu holidays.
Mahalo!
