All Reviews for Pearl Harbor, Oahu

My grandchildren did enjoy the tour very much. A lot of wonderful history that they really enjoyed

The children really enjoyed the tour and history of pearl Barbour and missouri

I'm an American and a Navy Vet. My wife and I have always wanted to Visit the State of Hawaii with a priority to Visit Pear Harbor. LUCKILY for us, I was FORTUNATE enough to find Veltra Tours on the web. I cannot say enough about the quality of our tour. The timeliness of the tour, the knowledge and personality of our guide Nick, SUPERB. We saw and learned more than we could have expected in a single morning. Also would like to Applaud the U S Navy, the State of Hawaii and our National Park service for all they do to honor our History and our Veterans.

The transportation from the hotel and Pearl Harbor went smooth and did the job as expected.
Meeting points and time schedules were all explained clearly and everything went as planned.

I took this tour with my 18 year old daughter and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our pickup was punctual and the tour from beginning to end was informative and entertaining. Although not enough time was spent at any of the sites due to the fact we only had half day tour, our guide made us feel like we learnt a great deal about each place we visited. It is possible to visit Pearl Harbor without a tour and also organise your own entrance to the Arizona memorial on line for a small charge but we felt as if the money we paid for a tour experience was very well spent simply because our guide was so lovely, welcoming and full of wonderful insight and information about Hawaii and the sites we visited.
We stopped at the Royal palace and were able to walk around to take photos. We drove through Punchbowl cemetery with little stories and anecdotes shared by Brayden our lovely guide and then onto Arizona Memorial where we were left to wander around for approximately 1& 1/2 hours.
Overall a great experience!

This was the best way to see Pearl Harbor! Our Driver, Larry, was wonderful... Funny, very knowledgeable, and helpful. I recommend that you purchase the Battleship Missouri ticket with your tour, it was excellent.

I previously visited Honolulu from the UK almost 18 years ago. The improvements made at the Visitor Centre have been money well spent. Although I enjoyed the City tour I did think it was a little rushed.

Driver was fantastic. Got us in early which worked out as the tours were shut due to wind after ours. Had a lot to show us around town as well.

On time pick up and drop off, great friendly driver(Patrick) well done, very organised trip great value. Recommended.

The battleship Missouri Memorial @ Pearl Harbor is a not to be missed experience. From the sheer size of the ship to the complexity of its workings, to the knowledgeable and competent guides and the great historical presence of the vessel, this is an experience like no other I have enjoyed. It would be easy just to marvel at the size and power of the ship but it also forces you to take pause and wonder at human ingenuity and capacity to create truly awesome weapons of war when the need arises. I heartily recommend this visit as a highlight of my time in Honolulu.

Enjoyed experience, but don't leave anything on the bus.
Our driver Patrick said it would be OK to leave items on bus during tour, because he would lock up the bus, but failed to tell us that he would go back to the city to return other guests on the shorter tour and return for us later, hence my wife's pink shawl went missing
Not happy wife

This is a great way to learn the history Of what happen in the war! Can't miss going here you learn so much and appreciate all the soldiers who have fought for us and protect our country.

Pearl Harbor was wonderful.
They have added a lot since we were there 35 years ago. Enjoyed it as much today as we did then. Highly recommended for anyone going to Hawaii ,

We particularly found our guide Ernal Smith to be informative, entertaining and caring with enthusiasm and excellent and expansive knowledge. It was definitely a highlight of our Hawaiian visit.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our helicopter flight. The pilot was very informative and also friendly. We would defiantly recommend your company to our friends and family

We toured Pearl harbor and USS Missouri and Patrick was so informative and helpful. He made the experience the best on the island. I would suggest Patrick and Uss Missouri again and again. Thanks Patrick for amazing time!

What an amazing tour, highly recommend. Pilot very knowledgeable, well organized and well worth the money.++++

well organised helpful and informative driver an excursion that should not be missed suitable for all ages

Our tour of the Arizona and other memorials was totally worth the tour. Larry our driver was very informative, thorough and went out of his way to make his guests comfortable. We enjoyed learning about the memorials and surrounding areas. Had we driven ourselves, we would not have known many important aspects of the Island. Highly recommend the tour especially if it's the first time on the Island which it was our first. Kudos to Larry!!

Was great. Tour was informative and our pilot definitely knew a great deal of the island and of course those little unknown facts!

Very interesting, loved both the memorial and the Missouri, think it could have been done in less time though

As a U.S. Navy Vet I was already beyond excited to go visit the iconic ship, but what was even cooler was being able to have access to so much of ship. However, the best part was being able to stand where the unconditional surrendering of the Japanese took place. Really neat! Only tip I can give is to take the early tours to have more time in each compartment, we took the 9am tour and our group was only 6 people (compared to the 15+ in the group after).

The tour was amazing! Learned a lot of amazing facts from WW2. Also, the bus driver "Marvin" was amazing! Very happy customer.

This was the best part of the trip! Brody was a great pilot and he was great telling us about Oahu. We are excited to come back with the rest of our family so they can experience the island from this view. This was a great way to end the trip. Love love loved this!! Highly recommend!

The tour began with a punctual pick-up at the pre-specified location. Our driver, Marlon, was very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable! Upon our arrival at the Pearl Harbor, he gave us detailed instructions about the timeline of our visit. He advised on how we could make best use of our time there with visiting the different sites. All went very smoothly!

The tour exceeded my expectations. Would recommend to anyone. The driver was very helpful and arrived on time.

Me and my 9 year old son took this helicopter tour on September 5, 2014 and we had a great experience not only with the tour itself but also with the customer service provided by Makani Kai Helicopters. We really appreciate them accommodating our last minute booking. Pilot Broody was great and also provided a very good narrative of the places that we had seen. Since their shuttles were out at the end of our tour, they actually sent us back to our hotel in cab rather than making us wait for the next shuttle. we will highly recommend Makani Kai Helicopters.

We stayed in Oahu for a week and it wasn't enough time visit all the placed that I had panned. The helicopter tour was a great way to see the entire island within an hour. The pilot talked about all the major points of the island. Especially looking down the Pearl Harbor was an experience that I never forget.

You can't stay in Honolulu without seeing this magnificent tribute to the fallen military men and women of WWII. After attending a short film that told of December 7, 1941, we were then shuttled by boat to the Arizona. The sunken battleship still has oil that is leaking out of the tanks of the ship which you can actually smell. After this part of the tour, we went by bus to the USS Missouri where the treaty was signed with Japan. This was also very moving. As we headed back to Waikiki, we went by the Punchbowl Cemetery, China Town and got to see the State Building where the statue of King Kamehameha stands in front. This is the first thing that you see in the Hawaii 5 0 show when it starts. This is a great tour, and has all the must sees!

My husband is a history buff so he was able to expand on the information provided by the tour guide and my children learned a lot. Very informative and interesting. I would recommend this to anybody wanted to learn more about American history! Enjoy!

P.S. Make sure to wear good walking shoes.
