Hawaii
Bennie, the driver, was great. Awesome personality and full of interesting facts.
I was with a family member in a wheelchair- he was very patient and attentive.
Bus was very comfortable.
The tour was good- I loved the stop at Hilo Hattie's. The Arizona Memorial was the highlight- very moving and such a part of my family history.
Thank you.
Everyone would be well served to visit this beautiful memorial and remember why we enjoy so many freedoms. We will recount the cost of liberty and be more grateful. The Mighty Mo was awe inspiring and strengthened my pride in America! No trip to Hawaii would be complete without a visit to these sacred memorials.
what a wonderful experience. A little humbling at first but what patriotism for all that died that day. God Bless America!
Pearl Harbour is a must see, interesting and informative tour would definetly recommend. Drive to Punchbowl had amazing views of Waikiki and Diamond head.
We attended this tour with our 3 children. Our driver was Garfield and he was the most informative driver we experienced on our whole trip...he gave us a running commentary on everything we were passing on our way to Pearl Harbour and he had a great sense of humour. He was so punctual with time and always ensured everyone knew what was going on all the time. I would rate this tour as the best one we went on while in Hawaii, I can't speak more highly of it. Our 9 year old left the day completely educated and informed about Pearl Habour. It was also great to go onboard the USS Missouri and see what life was like at sea and understand where the signing for the end of the war occurred. Overall we were extremely pleased with the tour.
this place was great,,,everyone should see this
Must see attraction
The Arizona Memorial and the Punch Bowl Veterans Cemetery were very moving experiences for us. Our driver was the real gem of this tour. He was informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour to all visitors to Honolulu.
Mario was an excellent bus/tour driver! I would definitely recommend getting a longer tour that allows for the USS Missouri tour. A Sunday tour was the best - least amount of traffic, which allowed for more time at Pearl Harbor. Mario also allowed us out of the bus to take pictures at the King Kamehameha statue.
Incredible! Everyone should see this as a reminder of the sacrifice of war.
Very moving experience, made all the more meaningful by an excellent tour - on time and very insightful.
Cousin Jerry was the best! So knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great chat about all things Hawaii! We were lucky we were the only ones seeing Mighty Mo and the city tour in our group so it. The bus to Might Mo was operated by Roberts, they were great too. We will be back!!!
was interesting and unique. would have liked extra hour or so to go through submarine. bus driver presented great introduction to the events of the war and was very informative on honolulu tour.
I had an amazing day at Pearl Harbor. I didn´t go to the USS memorial because I don´t like boats. But instead I went on the USS Bowfin a fantastic experience. The USS Missouri battleship was awesome ! And it is so big, you need to set good time for this activiti so you can enjoy everything. And take the guided tours, they are really great. Also a big hand for the busdriver that day, Cathrine. She was great, smiling, happy, talked with everybody and maked all of us smiling. I was the only one who did the big tour in Pearl Harbor that day. On the way back she drove through Punchbowl and China town, really sweet and an exstra service for me. Fantastic day.
I had never taken a helicopter ride before and I am glad that I chose Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. This was the best tour that I took on my vacation. This is definitely a MUST for all visitors to Oahu.
Great tour. Very interesting and very moving. Don't miss this one!
Our had a great time on our tour. "Super Mario" was a great tour guide and had us all laughing with his jokes. Pearl Harbor was so fascinating and was truly an honor to see one of the last remaining living survivors that was there that day signing books. We just wish we ha more time there and will definitely go back.
I'm from NZ and am intending on bringing some 11-12yr olds back next year. I found it very moving and am sure everyone who attends will also be the same. I hope that when I do bring my students back that they will also appreciate and understand the impact it has had on everyone involved. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Great experience for the entire family. Absolutley, worth spending the day. Very inspiring and sobering at the same time.
was skeptical at first b/c i'd never been on a chopper before. it was a smooth ride with an experienced pilot. i was able to actually be over a rainbow...somewhere over the rainbow, way up high! would do it again. highly recommend it. you only live once.
A truly moving experience one which neither of us will forget for a long , long time .
Accolades to our tour guide ( Patti- ) she was an inspiration and gave us a wonderful insight into the happenings at Pearl Harbour .
Initially, we were told that we were unable to tour the Arizona until 30 minutes before we needed to check out of our hotel. Our driver, Cousin Jerry, saved the day. He walked up to the ticket booth and obtained tickets for my entire family for a tour three hours earlier. This gave us plenty of time to tour the Arizona and Honolulu and have lunch. He really went the extra mile for us!
Waited 40+ years to go, way too long, something that every American should see. But needed more time, than 1 day. If opportunity came, would go back and spend more time.
The main benefit in this tour was to have someone else stand in line and get the tickets and drive around. The Arizona memorial and Missouri tours are handled basically self tours. My favorite portion was the oral history as told by our guide, Cousin Jerry. This was too short. I wish I had heard more from him.
A must see for anyone who visits Hawaii!!!!
Our tour of the Missouri was great! The only drawback was that some of the upper decks were off limits due to construction. We really wanted to see the entire ship, but that didn't happen.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and offered some fantastic information!
You will definitely learn alot!
This was a great experience we got to see the USS Missouri, The Pacific Aviation Museum, The USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Bowfin. Our driver Francis was very nice and took very good care of us. This would be a long day for children under the age of about ten, other than that it would be a great experience for anyone who is interested in Pearl Harbor as well as other interesting aspects of the US military.
I was hesitant whether or not to go to the USS Missouri while visiting Pearl Harbor because we did not have a full day to spend there. I am glad I did. We did the tour on our own, which I would recommend if you are on a time restraint as we were. We were able to stop and listen to some of the guides as they were communicating with their groups and overall had a great experience for the cost.
The tour and the tour bus were excellent. We got tickets to the Arizona shuttle/tour as advertised and the driver was fun and informative. Worth the price for the "front of the line" tickets at the Arizona. Family of 6 really enjoyed the experience and it was the right duration for the youngest (5).
The instructions for pickup at 635am were vague enough to cause a little confusion for us because the hotel where we were picked up is closed and under renovation. And the point of contact number on the voucher was not answered at that time of the morning to make sure we were at the correct location. A little "personal attention to detail" giving more information would have gone a long way to make the pickup less stressful. This is our only complaint... minor.
We did the pearl harbor honolulu city tour. Cousin Duke ( driver) made the trip fun. The highlight of the day was the honolulu city tour. We enjoyed the tour guides personal touch. Had fun
