We took the tour on the first day after arriving and it was too much too soon. I am sure we would have enjoyed it more had we been rested but we were worn out.
The tour does go to all of the spots but you get very little time at any of them and the stop at the Dole Plantation is not long enough to do much of anything.

My friends and I love thrill rides, so we had a great time. It was nice that we didn't have to wait in long lines for our turn. The wave pool, in particular, had intense waves that were scary at first, but once we got used to it, we had so much fun that we could have stayed there forever.
私も友達も絶叫系が大好きなので、とても楽しめました。
あまり並ばずに順番が回ってきたので良かったです。
特に波の出るプールは激しい波で最初は怖かったですが、慣れてくるとずっといても飽きないほど楽しかったです。

My husband & I were coming to Oahu, Hawaii for the first time. He is a certified scuba diver, but hadn't done any snorkel or scuba for years. We wanted to do a snorkel trip, since he enjoys it. I had never snorkeled, & from the reviews I read, I thought this trip would be enjoyable for both of us.
We had a lot of fun - on the boat, in the water, talking with the crew & fellow "snorkelers." It is a great trip for beginners - you get good instruction & practice before you are taken to a coral reef.
Bonus: we got to see several Green Turtles on our way to the reef. We would do this trip again!

The sandbar was knee-deep in shallow areas, but it was very beautiful, and my two-year-old son was delighted to go into the sea. We were also able to see sea turtles, which made it a very memorable activity for my son.
サンドバーは浅いところで膝くらいの高さでしたが、とてもキレイで2歳の息子も喜んで海に入っておりました。
海がめも見ることができ、息子にはとても思い出深いアクティビティになったようです。

Honestly, I can't swim and I'm not good with the ocean (water). I thought, "I don't want to go," even before participating. However, as I got on the boat and moved forward, I was greeted with views I had never seen before. I didn't even have the time to raise my camera...
When we arrived at the sandbar, we went into the water. The water was deep enough to reach around the waist of a man in some places, and shallow enough to reach the knees in others. The water was clear enough to see the bottom. I've never seen anything like this! Even though I was scared, I wanted to get in the water! Even though I can't swim, the guides (a Japanese woman and a local woman) were watching over us closely.
We snorkeled right there, and in the deeper areas, we could see corals and fish. Since I can't swim, I snorkeled just before it got too deep.
If you're going to Oahu, Waikiki is a nice place, but I definitely recommend going to the sandbar at least once.
正直、泳げないし、海(水)が苦手。
参加する前から「行きたくない」と思っていました。
しかし、船に乗り、先に進むにつれて、
見た事の無い景色がドンドン目に入って来ました。
カメラを構える余裕もなく・・・
サンドバーに着き、水の中へ。
水深は深い所で男性の腰辺り。浅い所で膝辺り。
水は底が目で確認できるほど。
こんなの見た事ない!怖くても水に入りたい!
泳げなくても、しっかりとガイドの方(日本人のお姉さん&現地のお姉さん)が見ていてくれる。
その場でシュノーケルをするのですが、少し水深のある所で、サンゴ、魚などを見る事が出来ます。
泳げない私は深くなる手前でシュノーケルしました。
オワフ島へ行くのなら、ワイキキもいい所ですが、
一度はサンドバーに行く事をお勧めします。

When I booked this trip I had researched many other companies and chose this one as it concentrated on Pearl Harbor offerring a full day comprehensive tour of this amazing site .
The tour exceeded our expectations, with Wes our informed and humorous bus driver and the amazing guides at various parts of the Pearl Harbor site all contributing to a very positive experience at this awesome harbor. It is an awe inspiring experience to stand at the place where the war commenced for the USA with the horrible loss of precious lives ,and even more spine tingling, standing at the exact spot where the treaty to end the war took place. The experience was enhanced by amazing informative guides and I would strongly recommend this particular tour for anyone going to Pearl Harbor.

This is my third time at the pool, and I enjoy it every time. It's not crowded like pools in Japan, and I can slide down the slides pretty quickly, so there's no stress. The kids are also thrilled! My oldest child has reached a height of 137 centimeters this year, so they were able to go on all the slides, which made them very happy. I definitely want to go again next time!

I really wanted to go to the sandbar, so I joined! Unfortunately, during the day, the tides meant that the sandbar wasn't visible above the water, but it was still wonderful!
The staff really got everyone excited during volleyball, and I had a very enjoyable time. The food was delicious too!
I had a bitter experience with snorkeling before, but I was able to practice at the sandbar this time, and it went smoothly! A friend who had the same experience also got used to it easily!
There were Japanese staff members as well, so I think it's definitely worth going!

This luau was really fun and I am glad we chose it over the PCC so we could have the real mai tai's! Our guide (cousin Kahale) was a hoot! He made the trip so enjoyable and deserves a raise. We got stuck in traffic so it took forecer to get there and then we were rushed to try and do the activities which were just hum drum to begin with. But the absolutely stunning scenery on the beach where it is located is to die for and made up for the lack of interest in activities. I enjoyed the food and the show very much and would defiantely go back and take the whole family.

We reviewed this Luau on the internet prior to our arrival and felt that this was the one and we were sincerely not disappointed. In fact, this was our second Luan during our stay and I assure you that this one is and was the best.
Not only was our Luau experience the best the drive to and from the event on bus #5 was fantastic. The driver was U and the guide/orator was Pompani (I think). You should have at least ten (10) Pompani’s since he made the experience a time to remember.
He was courteous, experienced, and a real performer. He was able to make the trip to and from one to remember. In addition the Luau, performance, food, and location were fantastic. We would sincerely recommend this to anyone that we will interface with if they want places to go on their Hawaiian vacation.
Please let Pompani know that he made the evening one to remember and do whatever it takes to keep him on your staff.

This tour was booked as a surprise to me by my husband, Ron, and our daughter on the occasion of my 70th birthday, along with a two-week vacation to Hawaii. I have long wanted to see the USS Arizona Memorial, as my father and stepfather were both in the armed services during World War II. The tour is given by a sharp US Navy crew and the dignity and remembrance of our gallant fighting men of all armed service branches is preserved. There are always some in the tour group, usually under 30, who haven't a clue as to what the horrors of war are; their actions echo their folly. The Royal Star drivers were knowledgeable and humorous when appropriate. The tour on the USS Missouri was given by Marc and you would've thought he was there as he described the battleship's statistics and history. The reality of what war does to people who are in it, no matter what side they are on, was once again brought home. I am so glad this was arranged by my thoughtful family. It took awhile for me to

Actually, I had never been on a cruise before, and my first cruise turned out to be in Hawaii. I thought a smaller boat would be better than a big ship, so we discussed it and chose this cruise from the website. The catamaran also felt very Hawaiian.
It was my first experience feeling how nice it is to sail through the sea with the sea breeze. Looking at the land from the sea gave me a strange feeling, like, "Oh, I was just over there, and now I'm looking at it from the water." The crew members were very kind and made it enjoyable for us.
Before I knew it, an hour had passed. Next time, I definitely want to join a sunset cruise plan.
実は今までクルーズってしたことがなく、初めてのクルーズがハワイになってしまったんです。大きな船よりも小さいボートっぽいのがいいな、と思ってみんなで相談してホームページからこのクルーズを選びました。カタマラン船っていうのもハワイっぽかったし。
潮風を受けて海を進むのがこんなに気持ちいいなんて初めての体験でした。海から陸を眺めるのも、「ああ、さっきまであそこにいたのに、今は海から眺めているんだな」って不思議な感覚でした。船員のスタッフの方々がとても親切で楽しませてくれました。
あっという間に1時間が経ってしまいました。
今度は是非夕日を眺めるクルーズプランに参加したいです。
