My husband and I were first timers to the islands and our first activity was the tour. Our guide, Ken, was unique and fun. We took another tour with a different service the next day (Volcano tour) and was disappointed. Ken was thorough in everything. We knew which side of the boat to sit on for the best view at Pearl Harbor, we knew the importance of each stop and his enthusiasm was contagious. We took a ton of pictures and I personally learned more about Hawaii and its history on the tour than from reading the provided pamphlets or from the other tour service we used. We were both very impressed and have told everyone at home that we were "professional travelers" for at least one day of our trip. Please extend our appreciation to Ken and we will be recommending your services to anyone that will listen. We will be touring again when we return on our next visit to the islands. Mahalo!

outstanding tour...tour guide was very knowledgeable, excited, and totaly enthused about the many subjects and topics. He made the tour as if Pearl Harbor had just been attacked and the events occurred on the day we visited. The many details and points of interest that was shared with us by the tour guide was graphic and realistic. The lunch was fantastic...actually one of a few wonderful meals of our entire 8-day stay on Oahu! I spoke with the managers of the Home of the Brave tours and complimented the tour guide on his energetic and positive attitude displayed by him the entire day. Wish we had more time on the tour with Home of the Brave....perhaps include the USS Missouri as a visit with this package. AAP

The Arizona and Honolulu tour was very well done. We arrived at the Arizona Memorial early and our guide was very well versed in the happenings. Honolulu tour was quick but infomative.

WE HAD A FANTASTIC TIME WITH KENN (OUR TOUR GUIDE)! HE MADE THE TRIP SO MUCH FUN AND WE LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE ISLAND AND IT'S CULTURE. THIS WAS DEFINITELY THE HIGHLIGHT OF OUR 1 WEEK STAY. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS TRIP. BE PREPARED TO PAY $$$ FOR LUNCH THOUGH. (THE SCENERY WAS WELL WORTH IT!!) THIS IS A LONG TRIP SO I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND TAKING SMALL CHILDREN. THANKS A LOT!

I didn't attend this one myself, but my husband and his friend
went together. We girls didn't want to be gone that long, but
the guys enjoyed it immensely.
It goes without saying - that type tour is very touching and
extremely informative. It's great for history buffs. Reminds us
just how quickly something like that can happen to our country.

We were picked up on schedule, the bus driver was excellent -
very informative - even telling us not to jay walk because
Honolulu accessed a $92 fine for doing so.
We had an excellent narration the entire time we were on the
bus and, it goes without saying, the Memorial is well worth
going to see. Very touching.
He returned us to our point of origin as scheduled.

The tour exceeded our expectations and we would recommend it to all aspiring to become 'Professional Travelers' to the island of Oahu. Our tour guide, Kenn, was an encyclopedia of knowledge. He was entertaining, educational, patient, and very proud of the job he is doing and the island he calls home. The travel arrangements were flawless. We highly recommend this tour to all who are interested in an in-depth guide to most important sites in Oahu. The price is a bargain in comparison of what you will get out of the tour.

The Circle Island Tour was probably the best thing we did while vacationing in Oahu. We knew we were going to have a good time on the Circle Island Tour but we were not expecting to see all the beautiful things we saw and get the information we received. The tour was very entertaining and had many beautiful sights. Our tour guide, Ken, was very educated in the history of Hawaii. I would definately recommend this tour to anyone. If I go back to Hawaii anytime soon I will certainly book another tour.

My husband and I really enjoyed touring the USS Arizona Memorial. The documentary we watched before the tour began was very informative and made us more aware of the events that occurred before 07 Dec 1941.
We also enjoyed the Circle Island Tour. We are both in the Army and arrived on island almost one year ago. This tour allowed us to see some of what Oahu has to offer. Our tour guide Roland had an extensive knowledge of the island's history and we were thoroughly impressed! We would recommend this package to anyone who wants to enjoy the sites of the island while in an air-conditioned, comfortable shuttle while someone else is driving!

Were on 5 tours and this was the best one and it was the best for the price. The tour was a little long and we knew that when we purchased the tour. We were picked up at 6:15 A.M. and did not get back until 6 P.M. Was worth every minute. The Tour Director was terrific.

The Arizona Memorial Tour was far more then I expected. I think everyone should visit the memorial at least once, and then again any time their patriotism fades. To see first hand the devastation of the ship and realize that there are hundreds of men entombed there is a real eye opener. Our guide was friendly and informative. I would suggest paying the $5 at the memorial for the audio tour, we didn't, and I feel we missed out on some of the reality. The museum is phenomenal and you really need to take your time through it. It's a great tour, but I would like to have spent more time there.

The tour was terrific. I travelled with my 10 year old son, and wanted him to experience as much as possible the history and surroundings of Oahu.Wewere limited on time. The Arizona visit was informative and moving. The island tour was spectacular. The only thing I would have liked to have had more time for was the Dole Pineapple Plantation (maybe 1 full hour so that we could experience the maze, and the grounds). Our tour guide was Kenn, he was the best, and provided us with many laughs and information. I would recommend this tour to everyone I know. thank you so much.

This has been one the best tours I have taken in Hawaii, and definitely the most memorable one. Not only did we see Pearl Harbor, but we were taught so much about the military history Hawaii and being able to go to other points of military interest was a definite twist on the typical Pearl Harbor tour! The guide was a vertiable fountain of knowledge. It is easy enough to go to the Arizona Memorial, but that is just a mere tidbit of the vast expanse of history that is there for learning in the islands. Everything was perfect from pickup to dropoff, and the memories that I have from this experience are priceless.

This was BEST TOUR EVER! Our driver shared facts, dates, people and many other pieces of information that I would never have known. We saw film clips, pictures and received information on the bus between each stop. I'm now inspired to learn much more about WWII and the history of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Take this trip and you won't be disappointed

This a very moving experience, having a father who was in the armed services during WWII and mother who worked at Hunters Point, San Francisco. I just found out she was on the USS Missouri to deliver papers just prior it leaving San Francisco on its trip to the Midway for the siging of the peace treaty with the Japanese. It is a history lesson for all, adults and children to know in order not to repeat history. The tour guide was excellent, he had a vast knowledge of history of Pearl Harbor, the Arizona and the other ships lost that fateful day. Being form Aeia, he also had avast knowledge of the Hawaiian history as well. Excellent time.

It was great! Got to see the highlights of the island. Kenn (our tour guide) was funny, informative, lots of fun and made the whole trip very enjoyable. A must do if you want to see the most in one day! He obviously had studied Hawaiian history - gave us so many stories - took other tours on other islands and heard some of his stories from each tour guide but not as detailed nor all the stories that he had for us. Kept the group moving and on schedule but was not rude about it. Answered all our questions. The whole day was great! The price was very reasonable, especially when comparing to other tours that we took. For sure, Kenn was the best of all the guides that we had!

My husband Andrew and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Our tour guide Matt was so enthusiastic and full of information. There wasn't a question he couldn't answer. I think it's the best way to see the Arizona Memorial. We got there before the crowds came and were given tips on where to go first and the best place to be on the boat to get the best photos. We were able to get on Military bases and go to the museums on them. The lunch was also great. We loved this so much, we recommended it to our friends.
