New driver but did a great job!

Reviewed by: The Tuckers, 2024/10/05

We were the only couple on the tour so it was great to get the personal attention! Even though our driver was new to the tour he was helpful and attentive!

Decent Experience

Reviewed by: Aaron, 2018/07/14

The accommodation for getting set up to fly in from Maui and meet my docent was easy and stress free. The staff met me at both airports and it was easy from there. My driver was Tommy, he was friendly, funny, and informative. The only real negatives about my experience was the closed Arizona memorial (not the company’s fault just bad timing) and a lack of time at the USS Missouri. My group and I were handed off to a tour guide with the USS Missouri organization who was slow and annoying and by the time she was finished there was only 20 minutes to explore the ship before we had to get back on the bus. The other stops had enough time in my opinion but I recommend not following the tour guide on the Missouri and explore on your own. Overall a good experience.

Maui Fly-Away to Oahu

Reviewed by: Roger Carson, 2017/03/25

Although pretty expensive...this was an enjoyable outing! Very impressed with Hawaiian Airlines...We're mainlander's so it was our first time to fly with them. Our tour bus driver (just call him ED) did a great job and gave us a lot of great back ground information on each exhibit. It was a long day, but we can recommend this tour...

A must see for everyone!

Reviewed by: Ellie, 2016/12/08

This tour was amazing and our tour guide was so fun! His name was Ernie. One thing people need to understand is that Pearl Harbor is a memorial to fallen men, not a loud tourist attraction! Be respectful.
We learned so much history. We highly recommend this tour.

All I wanted to see

Reviewed by: Ladytamila, 2016/08/13

My excursion was excellent, from the moment i boarded my flight from Maui. the staff was informative and friendly. I especially enjoyed the the docent on the Missouri, he explained the surrender in a way I could understand without being at all condescending. I was as moved as I hoped I would be. Thank you all for a most memorable experience.

Reasonable trip

Reviewed by: PH Visitor, 2016/05/16

This was an OK way to see Pearl Harbor from Maui. We were greeted by someone when we arrived at the airport but when we arrived in Oahu, we couldn't find anyone. Eventually after 20+min, someone did arrive. The bus driver was OK. We arrived at Pearl Harbor and he was helpful showing us how to get around and provided some helpful trips. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get out to the USS Arizona - the launches were postponed due to winds. We missed it by 1 tour - 30 min. I know this was not necessarily the fault of the tour guide but we did spend time standing around. We could have made an earlier tour. Disappointing. Anyway, all in all this was a good to OK experience.

Too long waiting for shuttle buses

Reviewed by: Brian, 2016/04/23

Our flight & our driver were great - driver went out of his way back to get shuttle buses to replace the ones that were running late. Driver deserves a pat on the back - "cousin K" - he did an amazing job. Good tour otherwise.

Great day trip!

Reviewed by: Nancy, 2016/01/18

It was great flying from Kapalua airport as we were staying in Ka'anapali. Plus the flight over to Oahu on the small plane was wonderful. We had fantastic aerial views, saw some whales and a beautiful rainbow and our approach in Honolulu took us directly over Diamond Head. We did the whole tour - the Arizona, the Missouri, the Bowfin and the museum, so we felt a little rushed to see it all. Otherwise, it was a wonderful day!

Great experience! Loved Auntie Em as our guide.

Reviewed by: Diane Koers, 2013/09/26

We took the Pearl Harbor tour during our recent stay in Maui. The sign up process was easy and all the employees were extremely helpful. Our tour guide, "Auntie Em or Emily" was fantastic. She told us all kinds of information about what we were seeing and she also relayed several additional stories from her father who was in the military and stationed at Pearl Harbor during the bombings.

The trip was more than about Pearl Harbor. She also took us to downtown Honolulu and Waikiki beach area. It was a long, but inspiring day trip. I highly recommend it.

Hereo's Tour

Reviewed by: Maggie Mae, 2012/02/18

We were really looking forward to going to Pearl Harbor, I booked a Tour as I felt that would be the best for us as we were staying in Maui. Well by the time we picked everyone up and then got to Pearl Harbor we realized another group on the tour had to be at the airport at 4:00 so it was not a lot of time. I felt to much time was spent on the Bowfin (which we really did not care to much about) and not enough time for the rest of Pearl Harbor. We only had a few minutes really on the MO and not enough time to see Hanger 79 and other things on the Island. For what we paid to do this tour it really was a big disappointment. Wish we would have just flown over and did the tour ourselves. But our guide whom we called Auntie Em was excellent!!!

The tour was excellent. The tour driver did an awesome job. My only negative comment is that we had limited time to visit the land-based building exhibits. All exhibits on the tour were definitely worth the time and money. This is a high-value tour.

Not boring at all!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/07/13

Kind of expected this tour to be pretty boring, I have to admit. But I have family in the military so I figured I should pay my respects and go see what this place is all about.

I was pleasantly surprised. The exhibits were informative without being bland, and getting to actually go on a Navy launch, and walk around on an actual ship was pretty cool. The best part for me I think was the film they showed about the attack itself, with real footage and everything...that really made it real to me.

Worth a visit at least once in your life, and not even boring ;)

Pearl Harbor and Honolulu

Reviewed by: Taylor's 3, 2011/03/27

We really enjoyed our trip and tour of Oahu from the meeting at the airport until our drop off at the airport. Our driver was Leo C. and he did a great job. He made sure we knew exactly where we were going and he was very informative. About the only suggestion I would make is to try to, somehow, give a little more time at each sight at Pearl Harbor. Always seemed a little rushed. Maybe have a earlier flight to Oahu.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Winthrop, Maine, 2010/10/19

We are a family of four, children ages 12 and 16. All of us enjoyed this tour. Ed was our tour guide. We have been on many guided tours before, Ed was by far the best guide we ever had. We were really impressed with his knowledge of Honolulu and the amount of information that he shared with us. The sights through the city, and Waikiki were so breathtaking that we are actually ready to plan our 2nd trip to Hawaii. We also enjoyed how Ed really personalized this tour by sharing his own memories and experiences growing up on the island. This is a long day, yet our guide's enthusiasm, and obvious love for Hawaii remained constant from start to finish. He was very charming, funny, and yet very professional. Not one time did he hint at getting a tip, this has never happened to us before! We have nothing negative to say about this tour, nothing. MUST SEE TOUR, REALLY!

WWII History Buff

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/05/15

I read a lot of books about WWII, and I've also watched many documentaries about WWII. It was such a rewarding experience to visit one of the most historically important sites in America. You can see where WWII started for the United States, as well as, where the Japanese surrendered (On the USS Missouri). If you are in Hawaii, visiting Pearl Harbor is a must. Even if you are not a history buff, the historical significance of Pearl Harbor is something that should not be overlooked.
