I would strongly not recommend doing this tour. Horrible food and our plus added to pick up and drop off that was painful. Would’ve been better off getting an Uber both ways.

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!!!
Sincerely,
Brad Denney

We had a family of eight on this tour and all enjoyed themselves.
The bus arrived at our pickup point on time. The driver/host was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor as well as other local sites. The only slight drawback was the sound system on the bus was acting up and occasionally produced feedback (no the fault of the driver/host). She dealt with it as best she could.
We arrived at all the tour points of interest on time and had plenty of time to view each. Given the clear instructions from the driver/host, we knew exactly when to be where.
The lunch was good and the location in the aviation museum was enjoyable.
We finally were returned to the pickup point, also on time.
All-in-all a very enjoyable and interesting day. I highly recommend it.

On 11/09/2023 I went on this Pearl Harbor tour, and had a full day of education. This was my first time at Pearl Harbor, and I'm so glad I went with Polynesian Adventure Tours. They were on time for pick up, the bus was so comfortable, and the guide clearly enjoyed his job with how much information he shared on Hawaii.
When we arrived to Pearl Harbor we were given a map, that was so helpful! Each section of PH on the map was numbered, that kept me on track of the schedule of the day. Without this map I would have been so lost!
Each museum we were given plenty of time to read all the information, if you are a quick reader you may feel like it's too much time, but I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. My favorite was the submarine!!
Lunch was so yummy, and was a very generous proportion. Was served in the middle of tour which was perfect for giving me energy I needed for the rest of the day. Highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, because there is a lot of walking throughout the day.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a guided tour, and who isn't renting a car while on island.

Very early pick up but tour was well organised. Only concern was having lunch at about 11.15am in aviation museum - a bit too early. Not sure the 10 minute quick stop on the way back into Honolulu counted as a city tour. Otherwise a good tour highly recommended for a full day.

Not enough time for the Bowfin and Missouri! Especially the Missouri is so valuable and amazing!
Introduction saying drop off 16:15-17:00, but our tour actually ended by 14:30 (return from Missouri), I have no idea why but it happened like this. If we have more time, could be definitely better, a bit disappointed.

As overseas visitors we were able to see and learned on what actually happened about the surprise attack on the Pearl Harbor naval facilities based on the videos presented and ships hit by the surprise attack. How the US navy base survived the attack. Our visit to the historical place was a big help on our history knowledge.

It is a memorable day for us, we went to Arizona memorial, bowfin submarine in the morning, we had lunch at the hangers, then visited the battleship. We don’t need to worry about the tickets, shuttle and lunch, all have been arranged well, we have enough time to visit everywhere we like, I highly recommend the trip.

Such a great way to see all of the Pearl Harbor sites! Pick up in Waikiki and all of the tickets included made it very easy. The included lunch was delicious and generous portion size. Our tour guide was very engaged and informative - she called us all her cousins and taught us a lot about Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Would highly recommend!!
Mahalo for joining us Andrea! Glad you enjoyed your visit. Pearl Harbor experience is emotional and humbling indeed! Take care, Poly Ad Ohana

It was a long and tiring day, but it was absolutely worth it. There is so much history. Most people know about the USS Arizona Memorial, but there is so much more. The submarine Bowfin, battleship Missouri and the Aviation museum. With the short movies and museums at each attraction there is so much to see and do it takes a full day. Our 9 yo boy absolutely loved it. He never complained once. His favorite part was exploring the Missouri. I highly recommend this tour.

The passport to pearl harbor was an excellent experience for the price. You can see the many museums and learn about the event's history. I recommend this to anyone interested in WWII.

Es war ein sehr interessanter Tag.
Alles war gut organisiert.
Mit dem Audioguides konnte man alle Informationen bekommen.
Leider war die Gepäckabgabe sehr teuer, 2 Rucksäcke kosten 20 $, wir dachten nicht dafür noch extra zahlen zu müssen.

This trip was fantastic! We started with a Honolulu city tour learning about the Kingdom of Hawaii, as well as Punchbowl Cemetery. We then headed to Pearl Harbor, where we honored the fallen at the Arizona. The Missouri and Aviation Museum were also great! The bus picked us up promptly at 8am from our hotel in Waikiki and we were dropped off at 5pm, but the day seemed to fly by. Our drivers Lola and BK were wonderful!! The company was also kind enough to hold the last bus for us because we were running late. Royal Star was in charge of the tour - very organized and all the employees were great!!

This is a tour I will remember for the rest of my life. I have never been touched by an experience like visiting the Arizona Memorial!! It left me in awe. I also enjoyed the USS Missouri - tour guides were very knowledgeable and made the signing for the end of the war with Japan come to life. My husband is former Navy and it made the tour even more enjoyable. Loved the Bowfin Submarine and Aviation Museum also.
And our Tour Driver Lehue was OUTSTANDING!
