The entire tour was excellent. The driver, Tavita, was very friendly, knoweledgable and courteous. He was very entertaining. He played the guitar and ukalele excellently. He made the Pearl Harbor and circle island tour very enjoyable. The tour was an all day tour but the time went by quickly because it was very relaxing, enjoyable as well as educational. I would recommend him as a tour guide to anyone wanting to have fun.

My husband and I really enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide, Tavita, was really exceptional, not only did he tell us funny jokes but he sang some songs for us, too! He knows his history. While we were sitting in the bus after visiting the Arizona Memorial he read a poem "Did You Know Me Then". Lunch at the country club was perfect! Just ask for Tavita!

It was great, our guide was just great, we had so much fun with him, we went on monday 9/8, sorry i can't remember his name, but he made the trip for us. We really enjoyed all of it. This was our first time and I am so glad we did this. It is a long day and it was well worth the 11 hours.

Wonderful tour. Guide on the Missouri - "Toby" was great. He served on Mighty Mo and was very knowledgeable of every detail of the ship. Will do it again.

The tour guide was wonderful. The day flew by and didn't even seem like it was 11 hours long. It would be perfect to do right when you get to the island, so you can see all of the different places you can go. The bus was nicely air conditioned which was wonderful.

This was great to see Pearl Harbor and then to see the island and have a tour guide tell you things you would not experience if you rented a car. Our tour guide was awesome he knew so much about the island. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

The driver was great! He shared all kinds of information with us about both the USS Arizona and the USS Missouri as well as Pearl Harbor. He was also able to give detailed information about each historical location we passes as well as Punchbowl Cemetary. It was a great trip worth taking!!!

There's not enough adjectives to describe this tour. It was fabulous! This was the best day on our trip to Hawaii! Our guide Hana was terrific (give him a big raise). This should be experienced by everybody! Don't miss it!

After all, this tour is primarily based around a trip to a cemetary. There really isn't that much to see of the Arizona itself, just some shadows underwater really. As I mentioned though, this is a little different to your average tourism spot, no "ooooh's and ahhhh's for the spectacular at the Arizona Monument.
The battleship Missouri is quite impressive though, the tour around the boat itself is quite interesting and is very much worth a look.
The city and punchbowl tour really isn't much at all. You basically drive in and out through the city, that's the tour pretty much. The Punchbowl Cemetary is a three minute detour and probably really isn't woth the bother for what you see there.

Very nice tour and value for the money. We visited Oahu 6/12 through 6/16/08 and wanted to see the Arizona Memorial and some of the island without having to rent a car. Friends of ours warned us that if we didn't want to spend hours in line (the Arizona Memorial is free to the public) and to be ensured of seeing the Memorial, booking a tour was the best bet. This tour enabled us to do that. We were the first group on the Memorial and it was very worth seeing. We very much enjoyed touring points of interest but we would of like to spend more time at the Dole Pineapple plantation, 20 minutes wasn't long enough. Overall it was very pleasant and our tour guide was excellent!

I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting the island for the first time. As long as the pick-up bus gets started, the tour is a fun and enjoyable one while learning a great deal about the history of Pearl Harbor. Tour guide was excellent.

The tour can't be called fun, but i can say "don't miss it". It's very informative, quite solemn (the Arizona portion) and something i think every visitor should take in. It was well organized, good timing, and did everything we hoped it would.

This tour was the highlight of my entire trip. Despite the early start time I was very impressed with all of the activities and sights we were able to see. From waterfalls to rainforests to incredible lava rock fields this tour offered everything imaginable on the Big Island of Hawaii. The tour guide could have given us some down time from the non-stop chatting but he gave a lot of very informative information and was highly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

enjoyed our explorer tour of the missiouri - tour guide Dom was amazing! Her inside knowledge was incredible! We were a little confused as to the inclusion or not of the general audio tour as well, as there was alot of things not covered on the explorers tour. Also were not aware of the proximity of the bowfin, museums... and did not have enough time to do all we would have liked at Pearl Harbour. Also, transportation would've been nice as the bus made us late for our tour even though we allowed 1 and 1/2 hours.

We found the individual island depictions to be very informative and entertaining. The students of the university do a wonderful job providing incite to their native lands. The Canoe Pagent was wonderful. The luau was less than we anticipated. The entertainment was very good but the food was little more than a buffet meal. The night time Horizons show was spectacular just as advertized. We were really impressed with the Samoan knife and fire dancing. He was very entertaining.
Thank you for a wonderful day filled activity.

We would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to see the complete island. I have been to Oahu before but was not able to see the island this thoroughly. This was very worthwhile.

My family enjoyed the information that was shared by Lani, our tour guide. We enjoyed seeing the "off the beaten path" locations that we went to. It was a great overview. I'd recommend it as a tour to do early on in your visit so you can go back to some of the places if you want to, some of the stops were very short.
