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!

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 ,

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!!

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!

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.

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 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.

We chose the trip with the tour because we had nothing else scheduled for the day, and I'm glad we did! After visiting the memorial, we were able to go aboard the USS Missouri and spent a good amount of time there. Afterwards, our super nice guide took us around town showing us all of the main attractions and was able to answer all of our questions! We were picked up and dropped off at the hotel which made this really convenient. I would recommend this to everyone! We were back by early afternoon so still had plenty of time left to do our own thing for the rest of the day. Great experience!
