Oahu
The Pearl Harbor Tour was everything I hoped it would be. Patrick was our very helpful and courteous bus driver and guide, and he was an excellent stand-in for Bob Hope who couldn’t be there. Patrick regaled us with jokes and historical anecdotes about Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Though his Elvis Presley and Don Ho imitations need a little work, Patrick made the trip quite enjoyable. I did not previously know about Elvis Presley’s contribution to the Arizona Memorial, nor did I know that the Walmart in Oahu had to keep its Spam under lock and key because it is a highly pilfered item in Hawaii. Mahalo, Patrick.
Bus seats on the driver's right afford the best vantage to take pictures while in the Punch Bowl.
It was an honor and a privilege to experience the tour of Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona, and USS Missouri. Much of the other areas seen were just site seeing. Honolulu was fine but I would like to have seen less of Honolulu and more of Pearl Harbor.
Ask for more of Pearl Harbor and less Honolulu.
An amazing and moving experience visiting all 3 locations in Pearl Harbour. The experience was made extra easy and smooth with attention provided by tour guide Marlow.
Don't miss the chance to experience all of Pearl harbour.
While the day was sad knowing the deaths and hardships faced, it was also a day of learning and exploring, see how the wonderful tributes have been addressed by the powers that be for Pearl Harbour is very honourable for the families and surrounds.
We had a wonderful tour guide Sam who was very knowledgeable, and a very friendly manner, a good addition to our day
I like how it all is, the day is good and happy and pleased to have been able to see it all
We weren't able to go on the memorial, I understand that, but Ranger who talked on the boat over should be given another job! One, she had to read off a paper about what happened on Dec-7. many times she lost her place and had to start over! If I couldn' t remember what happend I'd give on my job! Volunteer on Missouri was terrific,older retired military, very good presentation,knew what the hell he was talking about unlike the woman Ranger!
Visiting both the Arizona and Missouri sites gave us a full perspective on all Pearl Harbor scarifies.
Very good tour. Ran short on time CD and did not get to visit Air Museum on Ford Island. maybe next tine
Our guide was the best person we met throughout all the islands. He made this tour so personal and special, and was great overall.
Aloha Kara,
Mahalo for your five-star review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the Premium Pearl Harbor & Top of the Tower tour with lunch by Polynesian Adventure. We’ve shared your kind words with your driver — we're sure it will put a smile on his face. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable island adventure!
With warm aloha,
The Polynesian Adventure ʻOhana’
Enjoyed the tour a little better guidance on which line to stand in, or which order events should be taken would have enhanced visit
We loved this longer day as we went 2 years back and did not get enough time, but really did not want to drive. Thank you for a tour inclusive of Missouri!
BK was our tour guide and driver. I know now why he was Driver of the Year in 2023. Very knowledgeable on every facet of the tour. It was our first trip to Honolulu and he provided an excellent dialogue on everywhere we visited. (and even some we didn’t!) The bus was exceptionally clean and comfortable and our scheduled pickup was exactly on time at both ends of the tour.
Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri were a bucket list trip.
Great historical information
Shorten time. We were done by 2:00 pm.
Not picked up until 3:00pm
Good history lesson. Touching. Lots to do and see. Want to go back and see th e air museum
I wish they would give you a ruff idea on wait times. We spent most of the day to board the boat. And than had to rush through the Missouri. With the cost of the excursion we would have loved to not be rushed.
We were unable to hear the guide information and feel she was inexperienced keeping the group together. There was another group close by and listened to his knowledge.
Had a great day out. Enjoyed the history.
Bus driver was really i formative.
I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guider is so nice, and organized very well, cared every person in the group, answered questions patiently. Also, the tour planned itself is excellent, no hurry, enough time for each activities, especially for seniors.
Thank you!
Outstanding a great reminder why peace is the ultimate goal in life
Getting to see the Missouri was our favorite part of this tour. Unreal!
We loved the extra inclusions on this tour! Fabulous and easy day around PH
This was awesome way to have all the museums as my husband really wanted a tour with everything!
Pick up was easy, and drop off as well- we really liked this way to get to PH!
Great experience made all the better by Lola, our driver. She was the best!
easy to find the bus, they gave a bit of a bus tour before the park!
Kilani, our bus driver, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable and funny. The Pearl Harbor tour guide was also excellent and informative. It rained for a bit, but then stopped. The Missouri guide was excellent but only talked at the first two stops. I thought he would talk all through the tour. It probably would have been difficult to do with the narrow passageways though. I would suggest not bringing any kind of bag unless it is a see-through one because you can't take it inside the grounds - have to pay for a locker.
Our bus tour guide was absolutely amazing! Juicy is his name. He was very informative and funny. He helped us with everything we needed and told us where to go. The pearl harbor site was breathe taking. They are all very informative at every site you go to. The Missouri is massive and takes awhile to see it all but it was very self explanatory and easy to do a self tour. It was all worth it!
This was an awesome tour with lunch included, our tour guide Ernie was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour very pleasant and educating! Very glad we selected this tour, and also very glad we got a great tour guide.
As a whole, the experience to see and learn more about the terrible happenings on December 7, 1941 was an outstanding opportunity and well orchestrated.
The Arizona memorial was incredibly humbling. I never knew there are more than 900 souls still at rest below the memorial. Also, the endless oil leak from the ship was quite a surprise.
Now, to be honest, I thought we'd be walking on a glass bottom floor so one could see more of the ruins. But, as it was, with the displays available, the wall of names, etc., it was quite effective.
May God continue to bless all the lost souls, injured warriors, and their families.
Next, we toured the USS Missouri. What an amazing ship with displays to explain personnel jobs, their quarters, and all the cogs of the wheel it takes to operate and maintain such massive equipment. God bless our service men and women.
Finally, we walked through the air museum. It was very cool to see all of the various aircraft on display, with some still flying today! Sweet!
Lastly, the bus driver that picked us up from our hotel was quite entertaining and full of good information. He kept us informed and laughing as we drove through Honolulu and a fallen soldier cemetery on the way to Pearl Harbor. We learned about how the reservations work, native Hawaiian life and culture, and the MANY, MANY types of Spam there are in Hawaii! Woohoo... gotta love Spam :-)
Thanks you so much for this opportunity. Obvious, you are highly recommended!!!

Solemn day in history, but happy that while on island we got to see the spot where all took place.
This tour covered all the bases and then some. I am very thankful we chose the guided tour option, the guides really know it all! Mahalo E Noa , we will be back hopefully soon!
