Oahu
We chose Oahu for Pearl Harbor and the park did not dissapoint
This was awesome way to have all the museums as my husband really wanted a tour with everything!
Qr code has it easier to skip the line on the way in!
It was a great experience to view the war from a perspective outside of my own country. After making a reservation, a QR code ticket was sent via email, so it was smooth to enter when I printed it out just in case.
The plan does not include admission tickets to the Arizona Memorial, so you need to book those on the website yourself. Reservations for available slots can be made at 3 PM the day before, but they were filled within five minutes. When I made a standby reservation on-site just after 8 AM on the day of my visit, I was able to participate with hardly any wait. If you’re already at Pearl Harbor, I highly recommend visiting the Arizona Memorial as well.
You can't bring most bags due to security, but you can bring items in a clear bag. I thought it might be difficult if the bag was too large, so I brought one that could fit a 500ml plastic bottle horizontally.
自国の立場以外から戦争を見る良い体験になりました。
予約後メールにてQRのついた予約票が送られてくるので念のため印刷しておくと入場時スムーズでした。
プランにはアリゾナ記念館の入場チケットはついていないため自分でサイトで取る必要があります。
前日15時に空き枠の予約ができますが5分後には埋まってしまっていました。
当日朝8時すぎに現地待機予約をしたところほとんど待たずに参加できました。
せっかく真珠湾まだ来たのであれば、ぜひアリゾナ記念館も訪れたほうがよいです。
荷物はセキリュティ上ほとんど持ち込めませんが、
透明なカバンに入れると持ち込みできます。
あまり大きいともしかしたら難しいかもと思い、500mlのペットボトルが横に入るくらいのもので持ち込みました。

Since I am an owner of a timeshare in Ko Olina, I went there by rental car without a shuttle service. The roads were easy to navigate, and it was very close to Ko Olina, making it quite accessible.
With a passport, I was able to explore at my own pace without any time restrictions. I was able to enter all the museums, which was great.
However, due to a typhoon, the winds were strong, and the boats couldn't go out, so I couldn't visit the Arizona Memorial. That was disappointing. All the other museums were wonderful. There were Japanese audio guides available, or free guides who were Japanese, so I was able to understand the content well.
There are regulations on what you can bring, but if you have a transparent bag or a vinyl tote, you can bring those in as is. It's recommended when your pockets can't hold everything.
I highly encourage everyone to visit. It was a truly valuable experience with a lot to see, and I'm really glad I went.
コオリナのタイムシェアのオーナーなので、送迎なしでレンタカーで行きました。道もわかりやすく、コオリナから近かったので、とても行きやすかったです。
パスポートなので、時間の制限なく自分のペースで回ることができました。全ての博物館に入館できて、とてもよかったです。
ただ、台風で風が強く、ボートが出られず、アリゾナ記念館にいけませんでした。悲しい。
その他の博物館はどれも素晴らしかったです。日本語オーディオガイドつき、もしくは日本人の無料のガイドの方の案内があったので、しっかり内容も理解できました。
持ち物の規制がありますが、透明なバッグや、ビニール手提げを持っていけば、そのまま持ち込めました。ポケットに入りきらないときは、おすすめです。
皆様もぜひ行ってみてください。大変貴重な体験と内容盛りだくさんで、本当に行ってよかったです。

Wes is the best! Very informative! We learned a lot!
Happy we got this to get access to everything on grounds!
Tax free, easy to get beforehand and skip the line :)
Avoid the lines and get them ahead, so easy and they make sure you got the QR code!
They send you the QR code needed and make sure they know you need it!
This was a great tour full of information and great experiences. I would highly recommend this tour to others.
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.
It was heartfelt and awesome....so much history that we need to appreciate
Great way to get ahead and skip the lines, ready to enter all museums!
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!!!

Great way to pre-order and have passport ready to avoid the day of lines!
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.
It was quick and convenient, no hassle no fuss. Highly recommend this
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.
Friendly and warm tour guide made our experience memorable
Aloha Bharat
Thank you for your nice review. We are so happy you enjoyed your tour.
Lunch was delicious on top of a wonderful day at the park.
Aloha Kara - Pearl Harbor is an amazing place of reflection on our Military Community. They are all true heros! Mahalo for spending the day with us! A hui hou, Poly Ad Ohana
Driver was informative. Very professional and helpful.
Tour driver was knowledgeable and was funny too. She knew the History and insight on the area.
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.
Transpo- very good
Overall tour is very informative and enjoyable. Tour guides are great. Able to see uss misouri,uss bowfin and uss arizona memorial. The museum is great! I was talking to one of the personnel and he even gave me story about pearl harbour. Food serve is delicious. Able to meet my kababayan from Philippines. Thank you
Mahalo for spending the day with us at Pearl Harbor. One really needs to see it to understand and remember this infamous day in our history. Me ke aloha pumehana, Poly Ad Oahana
Easy to pre-purchase before the park, they send you the QR and your ready to go!
Appreciate how all museums are bundled together on passport, really great day on grounds.
The day goes by quick, so you may need a second day to explore, but the lunch add in was nice as it is hot durin the summer walking around grounds!
