Oahu
The children really enjoyed the tour and history of pearl Barbour and missouri
The transportation from the hotel and Pearl Harbor went smooth and did the job as expected.
Meeting points and time schedules were all explained clearly and everything went as planned.
I took my mother to Hawaii for the first time, and we participated in this activity where we could experience a museum, hula lessons, and lei making all at once. I've visited Hawaii many times before, but this place is an amazing hidden gem!!! The historical buildings are impressive, and the exhibits are wonderfully rich and engaging, making it easy to spend an entire day without getting bored. The hula lesson lasted a full hour, and the teacher was very easy to understand. Lei making was also fun, and my mother was very satisfied. I recommend this for both repeat visitors to Hawaii and first-timers!
母を初めてのハワイに連れて行くという事で、博物館・フラレッスン・レイメイキングと一度に体験できるこちらのアクティビティーに参加してみました。
これまで何度も訪れたハワイですが、ここは驚きの穴場!!!
歴史的建造物はすごいですし、陳列も素晴らしく充実していて一日居ても飽きない感じです。
フラレッスンもたっぷり1時間、とても分かりやすく教えてくださる先生で、レイメイキングも楽しく、母も大満足でした。ハワイのリピーターさんにも、初めてさんにもお勧めです!
This was overall very very disappointing. We went on this tour on Christmas eve with our young family, our daughter was excited to go on one of the trolleys and sing Christmas carols, as she had seen them drive along Waikiki. Firstly there was no trolley, but a double decker bus. The driver explained at the outset that because they had changed to a bus, he would not be able to sing or talk along the way. It was promoted as 90 minute trip, but it was actually 45 minutes in total. The lights indeed were lovely but the experience was disappointing
Aloha BJAM,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience. Due to the overwhelming popularity of our Honolulu City Lights program, we did make a last minute substitution from trolleys to double deckers, allowing more people to enjoy the beauty of our city lit up for the holiday season. The 90-minute experience includes time to get off and enjoy Honolulu Hale, the rides, booths, and festivities.
We understand your disappointment at the loss of Christmas cheer this change created for your daughter and your family. Your feedback is valuable to us and we will continue improving this experience for 2015 using the information you have passed along helping us give you both the holiday spirit and the aloha spirit that make your holidays full of joy.
This was the best way to see Pearl Harbor! Our Driver, Larry, was wonderful... Funny, very knowledgeable, and helpful. I recommend that you purchase the Battleship Missouri ticket with your tour, it was excellent.
Driver was fantastic. Got us in early which worked out as the tours were shut due to wind after ours. Had a lot to show us around town as well.
On time pick up and drop off, great friendly driver(Patrick) well done, very organised trip great value. Recommended.
Enjoyed experience, but don't leave anything on the bus.
Our driver Patrick said it would be OK to leave items on bus during tour, because he would lock up the bus, but failed to tell us that he would go back to the city to return other guests on the shorter tour and return for us later, hence my wife's pink shawl went missing
Not happy wife

This was my third time in Hawaii, but I hadn't been able to go to the Bishop Museum's hula lesson due to scheduling conflicts, so I finally participated for the first time! A famous teacher is currently giving lessons in Japan, so his daughter stepped in as a substitute, and it was a lot of fun. It was a moment where I could truly clear my mind after a long time. There were also plenty of other activities like a Japanese-language tour and lei-making. The staff in charge of Japanese were all wonderful, and I had a great time. However, the location of the bus stop to Waikiki is quite difficult to find, so be careful. Even though I received a map, I made mistakes twice. Make sure to find School Street and take Route 2!
ハワイは3回目だけど、なかなか日程が合わず行けなかったビショップミュージアムのフラレッスンに初参加!有名な先生がいま日本でレッスン中ということで娘さんがピンチヒッターで教えてくださったけど、楽しかった。ひさびさに無心になれたひと時でした。そのほかにも日本語の館内ツアー、レイ作りなど盛りだくさん。日本語担当のかたもみんな素敵で、非常に楽しかったです。ただし、ワイキキへのバス停の位置はかなりわかりにくいので注意。地図をもらったのに2回も間違えました。スクールストリートをうまく見つけて、2番ルートに乗ってください!
This is a great way to learn the history Of what happen in the war! Can't miss going here you learn so much and appreciate all the soldiers who have fought for us and protect our country.
Pearl Harbor was wonderful.
They have added a lot since we were there 35 years ago. Enjoyed it as much today as we did then. Highly recommended for anyone going to Hawaii ,
We toured Pearl harbor and USS Missouri and Patrick was so informative and helpful. He made the experience the best on the island. I would suggest Patrick and Uss Missouri again and again. Thanks Patrick for amazing time!
well organised helpful and informative driver an excursion that should not be missed suitable for all ages
Our tour of the Arizona and other memorials was totally worth the tour. Larry our driver was very informative, thorough and went out of his way to make his guests comfortable. We enjoyed learning about the memorials and surrounding areas. Had we driven ourselves, we would not have known many important aspects of the Island. Highly recommend the tour especially if it's the first time on the Island which it was our first. Kudos to Larry!!
Very interesting, loved both the memorial and the Missouri, think it could have been done in less time though
The tour was amazing! Learned a lot of amazing facts from WW2. Also, the bus driver "Marvin" was amazing! Very happy customer.
The tour began with a punctual pick-up at the pre-specified location. Our driver, Marlon, was very professional, friendly and very knowledgeable! Upon our arrival at the Pearl Harbor, he gave us detailed instructions about the timeline of our visit. He advised on how we could make best use of our time there with visiting the different sites. All went very smoothly!
The tour exceeded my expectations. Would recommend to anyone. The driver was very helpful and arrived on time.
It was a very worthwhile pass that allowed us to go all the way to Diamond Head. The boarding area in the DFS basement was a bit hard to find, but we were able to get smooth assistance from the staff there.
ダイヤモンド・ヘッドの方まで周れてお得感の強いパスでした。DFS地下の乗り場が少し分かりにくかったのですが、その場にいた係の人に教えてもらえたのでスムーズに乗れました。
Dear Rinko,
Thank you for using the 4-day unlimited ride ticket for the Waikiki Trolley. Our customer service representatives are stationed at the DFS boarding area and the Ala Moana Center ocean-side stop. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. We look forward to serving you again. Mahalo!

You can't stay in Honolulu without seeing this magnificent tribute to the fallen military men and women of WWII. After attending a short film that told of December 7, 1941, we were then shuttled by boat to the Arizona. The sunken battleship still has oil that is leaking out of the tanks of the ship which you can actually smell. After this part of the tour, we went by bus to the USS Missouri where the treaty was signed with Japan. This was also very moving. As we headed back to Waikiki, we went by the Punchbowl Cemetery, China Town and got to see the State Building where the statue of King Kamehameha stands in front. This is the first thing that you see in the Hawaii 5 0 show when it starts. This is a great tour, and has all the must sees!
If you go on this tour, ask for bus 738. Patrick was our driver and guide and he was awesome. He was very knowledgable and showed us a lot of interesting things and explained to us what we were being shown. When it came time for the tour Patrick had a handle on the process and made sure we knew what was expected during the actual memorial tour. Great job Royal Star!
The whole experience was great. Nice bus. Good guide. The actual park was very patriotic and humbling. Informative. Well done. Our kids enjoyed it.
It was such a beautiful and memorable tour! I highly recommend you take this tour! They will make sure you have tickets for that day.... If you go on your own, you are not guaranteed tickets for the day. I recommend you take this tour... The tour around downtown was also so informative. The bus driver was very knowledgeable and funny!
Driver polite, punctual. Memorial moving experience. Unfortunate stops are no longer allowed at Punchbowl Cemetery.
Driver Marlon, was most welcoming & told a lot of interesting information about Pearl Harbour & Honolulu in particular. He drove in a safe & professional manner. I am a Community Bus Driver in Sydney (Seniors).
Was very interesting. Learned a lot about the AZ & the MO. Great experience. Was fun to go inside the MO and see how they lived on the ships, equipment used etc. Would highly recommend for all ages! Great tour and staff.
Nice service. Bus was so comfortable. Recommended!
First class service, excellent friendly driver. Highly recommended
Great time - only drawback was it starts so early in the morning - hard everyone - not just the kids. But it was an amazing day!
The museums and displays at Pearl Harbor were way more than we expected. My teens aren't always enthusiastic about history but they were very engaged with these activities and when we went out to the Arizona Memorial, it was clear they understood the import of this place in American history. Very moving. The Missouri was well worth the time and investment.
