Oahu
This tour was excellent and would recommend to those who visit Oahu island! Our tour guide BK was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor and his home. The visit to the USS Arizona Memorial was a very moving experience.
First off the tour guide and motor coach driver were so awesome. Two women who did an amazing job giving us the perfect experience. It was so nice having the tour to get you there, navigate all the areas, get tickets for admission prior, and admission/time to see the Arizona Memorial. Great lunch as well in the Aviation Museum. The only drawback was we had to go to the airport to pick up some from another island flying in for the tour. It did take away time I think we may have had on Pearl. More time there would have been nice. Definitely would recommend this way to see Pearl Harbor.
We really enjoyed our time on the tour it was very well presented.
My hubby wanted to tour Pearl Harbor on his birthday, so I booked this tour and we had the best time! Nani, our tour guide, was the best! He was pleasant, funny and just a great source of information - we honestly did learn so much about Honolulu, Oahu, the Hawaiian culture and Pearl Harbor itself! The tour itself was awesome ... tour bus was on time for pickup, we had the perfect amount of time both for the Arizona memorial and the Mighty Mo tour. It was just a really great day, and my hubby thoroughly enjoyed HIS day spent learning some history! Thank you!!
I will start with our driver ernie he so nice and good made the drive not boring...The Historical sites of the Pearl Harbor was amazing and ghostbumps..feeling the history that I only read and watch on YT
Mahalo for joining us! Pearl Harbor is a really special place indeed! Glad you made time to visit with us!
We wound up taking this tour because the ones through Holland America were booked months in advance. What a blessing it was too! Oli was fantastic and I was in tears by the we got to Pearl Harbor for our tour because he so vividly told of the events before the attacks and then the attack itself. I'll never forget the experience and so very glad I made this resevation.
The tour was very entertaining and the guides knowledgeable about everything we wanted to learn about. The weather was drizzly and overcast but they offered rain ponchos free of charge which was very helpful. Would use them again!
Thank you!
Our Pearl Harbor tour was wonderful! Do it early as it was starting to get hot, and our tour guide Maureen was amazing. She’s a wealth of knowledge!
This was a very good tour. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable of the area. The times at the various stops were more than adequate. I would highly recommend it if you are interested in Pearl Harbor history.
Great experience, thank you for putting this tour together!
We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was well worth the price. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit the memorial on a tight time schedule.
Noni our tour guide made this experience even better! I have a young child and he engaged with him and made the day fun. Pearl Harbor was somber and something like I’ve never experienced. The USS Battleship Missouri was neat as well. Be sure to get some Dole whip at the snack stand before you leave!
We spent a very good time there. Our guide, his name is translated as Handsome in English as per his words was Amazing. He told us interesting stories all throughout the way. Also he explained everything in details before our tour.
As a first time visitor to Hawaii, this 7 hour tour of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor covered everything I was hoping for. Our guide Finny was extremely knowledgable and courteous. The first part of the tour focused on the history of the islands, the culture prior the American annexation and the impact of our occupation on the people and their culture. In addition to taking us to many historical sites, Finny pointed out some familiar Hawaii 50 filming locations and the harbor where the Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour started. The 2nd part of the tour was Pearl Harbor. The visit included dedicated tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial (where the war started) and the USS Missouri Battleship (where the Japanese surrendered to General MacArthur. Finny pointed out many interesting details of the attack and some of the heroes of the day, that I was not previously aware of. The visit was a very moving and memorable experience.
Security does not allow you to enter the base with any back packs or bags. You can carry small items like cell phones and a water bottle. Storage lockers are available.
I highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu.
Thank you Royal Star: for good buses, good guided, access to the Arizona ,and plenty more tme to explore Pearl Harbor
Arizona was an experience, I am so thankful I got to do this while I was here.
I highly recommend this tour. Anyone who has an interest in history will enjoy it. It was moving standing above the Arizona where World War II started and on the Missouri where the surrender agreement was signed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional.
Got to experience extra things we would not have been able to set up. thankyou royal star
Great experience, Arizona was very commemorating!!
No USS Arizona, it seems like it is getting hard to get the tickets the companies were saying, rest was great though!
Tour guide/bus driver, Ms. Lola, was extremely upbeat and cheerful, provided a fun and interesting city/area tour, included all the “best spots” for everything. Ms. Lola was awesome and even though some of the scheduled events were delayed, reassured that “no one would be left behind”. The company also did a great job securing tickets to the memorial (Arizona) when other companies could not.
Arizona was beautiful, the rest of the park is full of information to tribute to this sad day.
Porbably could have seen a bit more if I had more time.
Kinda felt lke the tour wasn't as great without Arizona.
Driver/ Tour Guide was great. Knew his route and the points of interest.
Cannot say the excursion was what we expected. We did not get to see the Arizona even though we saw it in 2017, because the lines were too long. we were not told when we booked the excursion that the docks would be in repair. Apparently its omnly about the money. No service involved. We were told the Military was running the ticket sales. So, we booked this several months in advance and were told the tickets were purchased the day before. Great service. Again all about money with no delivery.
The Honolulu part was fine.
Would not recommend unless you are going to be upfront with the customer.
This is great way to see all the sites at Pearl Harbor in a cost effective and easy way. No problems going between each site. Thank you so much .
First, want to acknowledge our awesome tour guide. His name was Garfield. This guy was full of information and his instructions were spot on. I have so much to say about this day. To me it was a little overwhelming all that we saw in such a short time. Between the Bowfin submarine tour, it's museum, the USS Arizona Memorial was spectacular and awe inspiring. The aviation museum was my favorite since I am an aviation buff. All the planes in various states of repair and some that were riddled with bullet holes was incredible. The Battleship Missouri was quite a sight to see. I wish I returned to spend more time to explore. This day was full of sights and emotion. Worth the price of admission for sure. Thank you again Garfield.
First of all our tour guide Humu Humu was so cool! It was very interesting to hear his stories about the culture, his life background, and the history of the island. Pearl Harbor was absolutely beautiful and must be done if it's your first time in Oahu. The views there were very scenic and emotional. I would definitely do it again if I come back!
What a fantastic experience, this was definitely something that my hubby wanted to do on his bucket list, so glad we got to do this.
The tour guide we had was informative and friendly and we had plenty of time to wander about after our tour.
Definitely a must see.
Firstly our open top tour bus turned up on time and we was warmly welcomed by our host Nani Popolo ( a real gem ) .
He gave us the good news straight away , that we had tickets for the Arizona memorial ( no stand by queue's for us ) .
Nani gave us in depth information throughout the day and was always on hand for photo's etc . His humour and song covered the many different age groups and genre's aboard.
The Arizona , Missouri and Oklahoma sites were all as memorizing as each other , in their own different ways .
This trip was a bucket list item for my 65th birthday , we travelled from the UK for it . Our tour was worth every penny .
