Oahu
We didn't have much time on Oahu so this tour lenght was the best for us. Oscar the driver was great!
Entertainment could have been better, food excellent!
This was a very enjoyable experience, staff on board were very accomodating.
We took the Explorer's tour and had a guide, he was very knowledgeable and this tour was the BEST of all the tours we took in Hawaii!
It was a good trip, the Arizona Memorial was awe-inspiring, the USS Missouri tour informed me of things I didn't. Also since it was the anniversary of the signing of the Peace Treaty, they were sprucing it up. A little disappointed couldn't get out in Punchbowl or downtown, but time constraints may have played a part in that.
Overall it was excellent, our tour guide was well informed and easy to understand.
i throughly enjoyed not only the cruise itself but the entertainment and the food were fantastic.
I just want to say the tour was fantastic and our guide/bus driver, Leo was the best. The man deserves a raise.
Keep up the good work!!!

just ok. wouldn't do it again. rent a car instead!
Docent was knowledgable and patient and the tour was good. Descriptive plaques on key stations and hardware would be helpful to better understand how the ship operated.
I participated alone on August 25th. I was a bit anxious about the English guide, but even if you can't speak English, people who love nature can quickly bond. There were seven participants, and aside from me, everyone was from abroad, but we were considerate of each other and realized that communication is not just about words! I was worried because there were no previous reviews, but the hotel pick-up was on time, and even though I was waiting at a different location, they came to find me. It is required to wear long pants, but as long as you have pants that go down to just below the knee and socks, you'll be fine. You'll also wear rubber boots, so make sure to declare your shoe size in advance; even if it doesn't fit, there are extra shoes available, so you can wear something that fits you. They also prepare insect repellent spray, and the itinerary allows you to enjoy various trees and scenery, which is fantastic. Above all, the fact that "there are no snakes" is wonderful! The path to the waterfall makes you sweat just enough to feel good. The nuts and dried fruits provided are delicious. The waterfall isn't very big, but it's a secret view that only those who participate in this tour can see. What impressed me even more was the way back. As we descended carefully through the green bamboo, the sounds of different plants and animals compared to when we climbed up soothed my heart. It was truly eco-trekking. Since it's a tropical rainforest, it does rain, but the trees provide enough cover that the raincoat I brought was completely unnecessary. Other participants got their bottoms dirty, but in the end, we could wash off in a stream, so it's all good. The difficulty level is about climbing a mountain of around 200 meters. They adjust to our pace, so everyone should definitely participate!
8月25日に一人で参加しました。英語ガイドということで不安でしたが、英語がしゃべれなくても自然を愛する人たちはすぐにうちとけられます。参加者は7名で私以外は外国の方ばかりでしたが、お互いを気遣いコミュニケーションは言葉だけではないと痛感しました!!書き込みが1件もなかったので不安でしたが、ホテルの送迎も時間どおりだし別の場所で待っていたのですがわざわざ探しに来てくれました。長ズボン着用となっていますが膝したくらいのズボンと靴下を用意すれば大丈夫です。また、長靴を履きますので足のサイズは事前に申告し、サイズがあわなくても余分な靴があるので自分にあうものを履けます。虫除けスプレーも準備してくれていますし、行程はさまざまな樹木や景色を楽しむことができて最高です。なにしろ、「蛇がいない」ことが素晴らしい!滝までの道はほどよく汗をかいて気持いいですよ。また用意されたナッツやドライフルーツがおいしい。滝は大きいものではないですが、このツアーに参加した人だけしか見ることができない秘密の景色です。あとさらに感動したのが、帰りの道です。グリーンバンブーの中を滑らないように降りていくのですが、登るときとは違う植物や動物たちの声が心をスーッとさせてくれます。本当にエコトレッキングでした。
熱帯雨林なので雨が降りますが、用意したレインコートも全く必要がないくらい木々が傘になります。他の参加者はずべってお尻が汚れたりしましたが、最後に小川に入ってきれいに洗えるので大丈夫ですよ。きつさは、200メートルくらいの山に登る程度です。私たちのペースにあわせてくれますので、みなさんどんどん参加してみましょう。
Guide was knowledgable and patient. Particularly enjoyed description on Surrender Deck. Descriptive plaques on key stations and hardware would be helpful to better understand how the ship operated.
Our tour guide was Cousin Fred.. He was excellent!! He was very knowledgable, humorious, and personable. We could not have had a better driver. The experience was wonderful. If we get to Hawaii again, I would definitely use Roberts again.

I had a great time!
The driver was funny and pointed out all the interesting sights and details. The tour itself was good. It was our first day on the island and a great chance to see things without getting lost. We took time later to visit some places again, but had the history (as presented by our driver) to help us understand it all. Thanks for a great tour!!
Unique experience ... would like to more of the inards of the ship though.
My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform
WOrds cannot explain this activity. My wife and I took a vacation to Hawaii as our yearly get away, no special occasion. I served in the military so this was a must for me to go experience. It was recommended for us to arrive early at pearl harbor. It's true that there is a massive line but I recommend that you go a little later than 6am because the line moves pretty quick. Let me explain the process because I did not see anyone mention it. The memorial opens at 7am and people enter inside the welcome center and get a card with a # on it, which puts you in a group. I estimate the group to be about 50 people. After that time, you just roam around the welcome center until your group # is called. Then you stand in line to go into a theater where you will see ACTUAL footage from the war and it's very touching and heart stopping. After that, you go outside to the water taxi (boat) which takes you out to the actual memorial. you can just feel the mood there. Some people can be disr
The Arizona and Missouri Tour was a great exprience and we learned alot about our nations history.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Pearl Harbor and the city. Our bus driver was very personal--cousin Ted, so he called himself to us. He was very knowledgeable of the city and helpful.
The staff & service are both fantastic. They are so accommodating. The food is very good, however I was not able to enjoy it because I was so seasick. I didn't expect it to be such a rough ride. The boat could use an upgrade & makeover for sure. It's a bit dated. Entertainment was OK. That part could use an upgrade as well. They should know that there ARE good songs from this decade as well. Spring for the upgrade. Downstairs looked a bit crowded.
This was an excellent tour and well worth the money! Our bus driver/tour guide was outstanding! Garfield was very knowledgeable with the sites and history of both the city tour as well as being our guide on the Uss Missouri. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hawaii.
We had a family of 17 on this tour (all ages) and everyday we kept discussing things we had learned on the tour. Even at the airport we kept talking about how great it was to have done this the first day, because we could then make better decisons about the rest of our trip.
If you have a shuttle included, it's recommended to arrive early as the shuttle bus departs right on time.
送迎付の場合、送迎バスが出発時刻すぐに出るので早めにいかれることをお勧めします。
We had an amazing time. "Cousin Dave" was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed all that was shown and told to us. The Pearl Harbor and City tour was much more than we expected and worth every penny spent. Thank you!
My family & I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. My husband is a HUGE history buff, my son - age 15 even enjoyed it, along with my parents (Around 60 yrs. old) and my husband & myself (late 30's) Therefore, you can see that it was interesting for all ages. It was a very spooky feeling standing on the Arizona Memorial, looking down at the sunken ship, seeing the oil still leaking into the water, and reading all of the names of those who perished that awful, fateful day. We also got to meet & take pictures with two of the survivors from that day. They were inside, sitting near the museum signing autographs. One of them was born in Macomb, Illinois, about 50 miles from our hometown of Rockford, so that was very surprising! We had an awesome guided tour aboard the USS Missouri. Took about 90 minutes, we even got to see inside. Saw the bunks where the sailors slept, the control room, radio room, the table where the declaration was signed to end the war, the "mess hall", stood under the g
I want to comment that the driver, Ben, the guide /bus driver, assigned to our tour was the best. He made our trip enjoyable and informative. Our entire group enjoyed his sense of humor and knowledge of Arizona and Missouri tours. In fact you was our tour guide at the USS Missouri. He knew how to make the maximun use of our time and best place for lunch.
We definitely will come back and will request Ben, if he is still owrking for this company.
Excellent value.
That was great time for my family.
And the driver(guide) was very kind.
Thank you.
Great trip/tour. Tour guide was great, friendly, on time, and informative.
We went on the sunset dinner cruise in June 2007 and had a great time! All of the staff was wonderful and very friendly. The dinner was good- nice portions ( we did NOT go home hungry), and the music and show was a blast! The top deck was perfect for taking sunset pictures of Diamond Head. We did the couple's plan and recommend it to any couple deciding on this package. This ended up being a really fun night for the both of us and would highly recommend it to anyone going to Oahu!
The Arizona and Honolulu tour was very well done. We arrived at the Arizona Memorial early and our guide was very well versed in the happenings. Honolulu tour was quick but infomative.
