All Reviews for USS Arizona & Battleship Missouri

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!!

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.

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!

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 .

Beginning with our pickup, through drop off, our trip was fantastic. Our tour guide was the best. Our first stop was to see city sights and he allowed us time for pictures along with him taking our group pictures. The battleship was fascinating and of course Pearl Harbour was very touching. Great tour.

This tour was fantastic and our tour guide Nani was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, told us great stories and was funny and entertaining! We learned alot about Pearl Harbor and saw some memorable landmarks! I would highly recommend this tour!

It was a great experience. We wish it had included more narrative information on the memorial, we missed the twenty minute film somehow. So that may have filled that void. We did enjoy the tour, all went well and would surly recommend this tour.

We had a great time. Only negative thing I would say was it was a little long, we were finished and sitting around maybe 1 hour.

Chris is never boring. He is an excellent tour guide with a great sense of humor. You can feel how proud he is as an Hawaiian and of course as an American.

It was good. On time and very friendly Extremely informative and educational

This was suppose to be one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu… the Pearl Harbor specifically the visit to USS Arizona! We fully paid months before our Hawaii trip. Why a poor review? There were 18 of us. Families and friends. We were informed that they were not able to get a ticket for us to go to USS Arizona, right during the bus pickup! Our other friends who were on a different time slot, same day, were able to do so no problem. We feel that this company should have informed us ahead of time so we would have an opportunity to book with another company. So disappointed! Not good business! I hope this does not happen to anyone else.

Our guide, Nani gave us an awesome experience. Very knowledgeable & fun music!

We were so excited to visit Hawaii for the first time and I thought I was purchasing tickets for Pearl Harber but NO after spending $200.00 NOTHING. When speaking to them on the phone they stated we must ride their bus. With Covid 19 we didn’t want to take a chance on our health. We are now in a dispute with them to get our money back!

We were picked by a nice comfortable bus for the Pearl Harbor an the U.S.S MISSOURI with the National Pounchbowl Cemetery. It was our first time to Hawaii an the tour of the city was also nice. It would just be nicer if there was a little more time between each tour so that u don't have to rush.
But all an all it was a good tour.

We attended the Pearl Harbor remembered tour, which included the USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri, whith a little history of Honolulu in the mix. I definitely won't forget the experience.

Just a great time. The driver was awesom very informative.

Our Pearl Harbor Tour with E Noa was great! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun, and shared a lot of good information. This tour made it easy to enjoy all that Pearl Harbor has to offer since they procure the tickets for you. The trolley ride around Honolulu and Waikiki was good as well.
Be sure to NOT bring bags with you as instructed. This caused our particular tour to be split up as our guide had to call in another guide due to some people bringing bags. They will not let you in with them.

Our tour guide Nani made the experience memorable. His knowledge of the history of the island was a wonderful complement to the tour. He made a solemn experience truly enjoyable.

Seeing the Arizona has been on my bucket list for several years. Seeing it and the Missouri was an experience. I didnt go on the Bowfin or into the Aviation museum, but I saw them. The bus had issues at first and they called another bus which caused the tour to be very late. He did stay later, but we didnt have time for the film or much browsing around. They do a little city tour, which is ok but they dont stop for pictures or anything. In my opinion, they should devote the whole tour to Pearl Harbor. It needs more time. I did a trolley ride later on that does a city tour with stops. It was still a good day, just wish I had had more time there.

I was shocked to find we could not bring our purses in to the facilities. I did not read anything about this on my reservation. There were a lot of people at Pearl Harbor and there was not enough time during the excursion to go into the museums and gift shops. I felt rushed the whole time. Our driver was super nice and very knowledgeable. I feel like this excursion needs more time! There was not even enough time to eatunch and we were starving!

First class service our driver and the company is awesome

All good. Our time on the Missouri was too short.

We really enjoyed this tour. We would have liked to have had a little longer at the Arizona memorial itself as there were so many people it was hard to get the pictures that we wanted in such a short time. Seeing the Missouri was a plus and was awesome, since I am a nurse I would have liked to have seen more of the medical side of the ship...infirmary, pharmacy, Dr office etc....Overall it was very informative and we enjoyed the tour..
