Royal Star Pearl Harbor Experience with Tickets to Arizona Memorial & City Tour

Good Tour

Reviewed by: RSK

Good tour for the price. Worth having someone pick you up and do the driving. We wish we had more time on the Missouri and to see the museums back on Ford Island. We drove from Honolulu, to Pearl Harbor to get tickets, back to Honolulu for the tour, then to Pearl Harbor, and then back to Honolulu. I would have preferred that we were picked up a bit later and have the tickets all ready for us. We barely had any breakfast and because there isn't much time, we didn't eat from 6:30 am to almost 4 pm. Our tour guide was very courteous and informative (Marlan).

Missouri and Arizona

Reviewed by: Chin Wang

Tour was great and the tour guide did a great job. However, the pick up point was a closed hotel and not well marked. Took a while to find the pick up point, which was only a block away from the hotel where we were staying. Do not understand this as other buses from the same company were picking up at out hotel. We spend a few hours trying to find the pick up point and the operator that was called was not helpful. Overall it was a very nice day but it didn't start out the way that was expected. You need to set the pick up point at the hotel staying. Do not understand why he had to find a closed hotel!

I had a great time riding, but I noticed that there were many more trolleys from Japanese travel agencies, which made me question the convenience. I also felt that the closing time was a bit early.

I apologize for the delayed response. Since then, we have introduced two double-decker buses for the Pink Line to the Ala Moana Shopping Center. The Red Line is also operating with two double-decker buses. The double-decker trolley buses have been well received by customers, allowing them to enjoy the scenery from a new perspective. Additionally, we have started the Blue Line for the East Coast Panorama Coastline Tour to Sea Life Park since June. We will continue to make efforts to enhance the Waikiki Trolley, so please be sure to use our services the next time you visit Hawaii. Thank you for your feedback.

お返事が大変遅くなり申しわけありません。その後、アラモアナ・ショッピング・センター行きのピンクラインには2階建てバスを2台導入いたしました。レッドラインも2階建てバス2台で周遊しております。2階建てトロリーバスはお客様に新しい目線で景色を楽しんでいただき好評です。シーライフパークまで東海岸パノラマ・コーストライン・ツアーのブルーラインも6月から開始しております。今後もワイキキトロリーを充実させる努力を重ねますので、どうぞ次回にハワイにお出かけになる際にも是非ご利用ください。ご意見ありがとうございました。

Bishop Museum - Hawaiian Garden Tour ビジョップミュージアムーハワイアンーガーデエンツアー

Reviewed by: nanoa

I participated with my mother, my sisters, and my aunt. I signed up so that my mother and aunt, who were visiting Hawaii for the first time, could truly experience it. On the day of the event, my mother and aunt got the time wrong and arrived about 30 minutes late, but the staff were very accommodating, and it didn't affect the rest of the schedule.

The activities included making leis and hula lessons, but thanks to the staff's arrangements, we also got to pick and crack open kukui nuts, which was an experience you can't find elsewhere. The teachers were exceptional, providing instruction that you wouldn't normally receive, and my beginner mother and aunt were very pleased. By the evening, they were so engrossed that they were reviewing what they learned at the hotel.

When you think of Hawaii, you might think of sightseeing, shopping, and gourmet food, but I believe participating in a tour like this, where you can touch on Hawaii's history and culture, will create wonderful memories. While going with friends is great, I think participating as a parent-child duo allows for unexpected discoveries and strengthens bonds.

It was a very satisfying tour. Thank you very much. However, while they do provide water, it's just a paper cup's worth per person, so I think it's better to bring your own bottle.

母と私達姉妹とおばと4人で参加しました。ハワイが初めての母と叔母にハワイを感じてほしくて申し込みしました。当日母達が時間を間違えて30分程遅れてしまいましたが、スタッフの方の対応もよくてその後のスケジュールにも支障がでずに済みました。
内容はレイ作りとフラレッスンでしたが、それ以外にもスタッフの方の計らいでククイの実を拾って割ってみたりと他では体験出来ないような内容です。
レイとフラは先生も普段では、教えていただけないよな先生にきちんと教えて頂き初心者の母や叔母もとても喜んでいました。夜にはホテルで復習するほどに夢中になっていました。
ハワイというと観光、買い物、グルメと思いますが、ハワイの歴史や文化にふれあうこの様なツアーに参加してみるのもとてもいい思い出になると思います。
友達同士もいいけど親子で参加すると意外な発見や絆を感じることが出来ると思います。
とても大満足なツアーでした。ありがとうございました。
ただ、お水を頂けるのですが、一人一本のボトルではなく紙コップ一杯の水なのでマイボトルを持参したほうがいいと思います。

Our first and most memorable experience with this company was being picked up by Coach Driver Jerry. This guy is a credit to the company and to Hawaii. He supplied a huge amount of information about the islands, the history and Pearl Harbour. He was extremely helpful to everyone on the coach and gave sensible advice to all the 'out of towners' The experience of visiting the Missouri and the Arizona memorial was a humbling and memorable experience for our family.

The Royal Start tour to Pearl Harbor was more than I had hoped for. "Cousin Jerry" was an amazing guide and made us feel like ohana (family). The comfort of the tour bus was very very nice. The visit to the Arizona was everything I expected and was a very emotional time for me, being a Navy veteran. We really felt like we got our money worth and definitely recommend the Royal Star tours.

There were so many Pearl Harbor tours to choose from, I thought my head was going to explode just trying to decide. In the end, I was glad we chose this one. We had a lot of time on our own to explore Pearl Harbor and there were optional audio tours available for an additional fee, but we didn't do that. There was so much to take in and see as it was!

This trolley not only allows you to get around the city but also takes you to Diamond Head and Kahala Mall, and I use it every year without fail. You can use it for four days on any day during your stay, and the ability to extend the days you don't use it adds to the value. Many of the drivers are entertaining, so you won't get bored.

このトロリーは、市内の移動だけでなくダイヤモンドヘッド観光やカハラモールまでいく事が出来、毎年必ず使っています。

When you think of classic transportation in Hawaii, the trolley comes to mind! The local staff at the ticket exchange, including the older gentleman, are sure to make you laugh, and all the trolley drivers are fun people! You'd be missing out if you don't ride it. They even take photos while stopped! It’s not just a means of getting around; you can explore the Waikiki area while listening to the enjoyable stories from the drivers. I will definitely participate again next time!

ハワイの定番乗り物と言えば、トロリーですよね!
現地スタッフ(チケット引き換え所)のおじいちゃん?も笑わせてくれるし、トロリーの運転手も楽しい人ばかり!乗らなきゃ損です。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

This time, we used the trolley bus for my parents during our family trip. It was their second time in Hawaii, and they were very happy to finally ride the bus and enjoy it! Both of them got the senior discount, which was a good deal, but since they didn't ride it much over the four days, I thought it might have been better for me to pay the fare each time instead.

今回は、家族旅行にて父母の為にトロリーバスを利用しました。2回目のハワイで、ようやくバスにのり満喫できた!と大変喜んでいました。2人ともシニア料金でお得でしたが、1日でもあまり回数をならなく、4日間も乗らなかったので、私はその都度乗車料金を払うほうが…よかったかなと思いました。

I had an amazing day at Pearl Harbor. I didn´t go to the USS memorial because I don´t like boats. But instead I went on the USS Bowfin a fantastic experience. The USS Missouri battleship was awesome ! And it is so big, you need to set good time for this activiti so you can enjoy everything. And take the guided tours, they are really great. Also a big hand for the busdriver that day, Cathrine. She was great, smiling, happy, talked with everybody and maked all of us smiling. I was the only one who did the big tour in Pearl Harbor that day. On the way back she drove through Punchbowl and China town, really sweet and an exstra service for me. Fantastic day.

What an awesome day

Reviewed by: Aus Family

Travelling with my 15yo girl & 10yo boy we had some reservation as to whether they would enjoy this tour. What can I say it was awesome. Duke our tour guide (and owners son) made the day completely enjoyable, upbeat, interesting (even to non Americans) and nothing was to much trouble. We only had about 20 people of this tour so was very personal and comprehensive. An early start meant we beat the crowds at Arizona and Duke's personal knowledge made for an even better tour.
Basically if you want to do a military tour - YOU MUST DO THIS !!!!!!!!

Don't worry about Missouri & Bowfin (they require another full day) these can be done another day. This tour takes you onto the military bases and gives a genuine insight as to what they are like.

I have taken ALOT of tours in my day, and this is by far one of the best I have ever taken. From the minute I got into the (very nice and very CLEAN) charter, the guide, Duke (who just happens to be the son of the owner!) just MADE the day. He was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable of the rich history surrounding both Pearl Harbor and WWII in general.

Throughout the tour, he used humor and wit to share fascinating REAL stories of actual soldiers and events to really make this time in history come alive to all on board. I was just so impressed.

This tour was so much better organized than most other tours I have been on, yet they somehow managed to not make me feel like cattle being herded and pushed around....although we had a schedule to stick to, I never once felt rushed or hurried...it was such an enjoyable day. Duke had a great balance of giving us time on our own to look around the sites and exhibits (rather than treating us like children) yet he was always
