Uncle Billy and Brother Ross were knowledgeable about Island history, geography, and culture. We learned, explored, and laughed a ton. We especially liked the added stops along the way. The day went quick, we were on and off the bus frequently.

To say the Star of Honolulu is a fabulous ship is an understatement!
We were both so impressed the minute we walked up beside her! We really enjoyed everything about our evening! The dancers were so sweet as they welcomed us onboard, our window seats were great, the food was really good, and such a fun atmosphere! Our only complaint was their decision to serve crab legs as part of our meal plan. It was delicious, but just a messy food item to pair with our nice dress clothes & date night. And the views of coastline & Waikiki Beach were phenomenal! I had booked the Friday night cruise, hoping to view the Friday night fireworks off the beach ... but the weather changed those plans on us, which was understandable, we still really enjoyed! This was our first time experiencing a sunset dinner cruise ... and we both said we can't wait to go again on the Star of Honolulu!

My hubby wanted to tour Pearl Harbor on his birthday, so I booked this tour and we had the best time! Nani, our tour guide, was the best! He was pleasant, funny and just a great source of information - we honestly did learn so much about Honolulu, Oahu, the Hawaiian culture and Pearl Harbor itself! The tour itself was awesome ... tour bus was on time for pickup, we had the perfect amount of time both for the Arizona memorial and the Mighty Mo tour. It was just a really great day, and my hubby thoroughly enjoyed HIS day spent learning some history! Thank you!!

I have waited a while to write this review. I am not usually negative about many things, but I honestly did not enjoy this tour, primarily due to our tour guide.
I booked this tour for my hubby & myself as it was his first time to the island, so I wanted him to experience the entire island & see each of the highlights which this tour had every stop I was looking for. The itinerary as indicated on the website was perfect ... however our tour guide, Chief Rob as he called himself, had his own itinerary. I think he was grumpy when he picked us up, and almost came across as a strict school teacher pretty much immediately, so not really a fun guy or a fun day. We did not have the early breakfast stop at Leonards, he instead decided that he wanted to stop at a different location further into the tour. So we had to walk around the temple eating this donut, only to be immediately taken for lunch afterwards - poor planning. And the north shore visit, was a super quick drive-by. Meanwhile we talked to others who did island tours, and they stopped at Turtle Beach, etc, so we were kind of bummed about that. I feel we could have spent more time with a stop along North Shore and less time at the Dole plantation ... as the amount of time that we were given at the Dole plantation didn't really allow for us to do anything, yet long enough that we were bored.
All in all, the tour itinerary seemed decent but the day we had was not fun. Actually, this tour was the least fun part of my entire trip so I don't think I would recommend it to others

I'm glad I was able to participate in the tour.
The guide, Kanako, was bright and fun, and her explanations during the tour were easy to understand. She was also attentive to everyone in the group, which left a very good impression.
I enjoyed eating the shrimp from Kahuku, malasadas, coffee, and other things I wanted to try. There were no issues with restroom breaks, and I had a great time. If I had one complaint, it would be that the time in Haleiwa was short—about 30 minutes, I think? I was disappointed that I couldn't visit all the shops I wanted to, so I feel a bit regretful about Haleiwa.

We had a wonderful time on this adventure to the north shore on Oahu. Cousin G was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and keeping things lively. He was so knowledgeable of the history and the area and all the ins and outs of where to go. He was really funny, too! Waimea falls was beautiful and the next stop we opted for paddle boarding. We didn't see any sea turtles, but it was still fun and peaceful. We had a small group of 10, which I don't think is usual, but it was a treat for us because we could move around easily and quickly get in and out of places. We'd highly recommend this to anyone!!

We celebrated the night before our marriage on this event. We were a large group of 27. They accommodated us and sat us all together. The entertainment and the food were excellent. The servers kept everything flowing and joyful. Very organized and fun. I really enjoyed the dancers and singers. They performed in front of us and had them all over so everyone could enjoy them. The only bummer was that I specifically chose to go on the Friday sunset cruise for the firework show. However, it didn’t happen due to the winds. I was very sad. Other than that, I thought it was a fabulous experience.

I was waiting at the hotel for the bus to arrive, but no other guests (other than Japanese) were there, and the driver was looking for them to pick them up. I had the impression that we were waiting for the same bus, but I hesitated to speak in English, and since I was going to a completely different hotel, I made sure to confirm and wait properly. The very kind service left a good impression of Veltra. I hope to use it in other countries as well.
私は、ホテルでバスのくる場所を確認し待っていましたが、他のお客さんがそこに来ていなくて(日本人以外)、そこでドライバーさんが探しに行きのせていました。なんとなく、同じバスを待っているかというイメージはありましたが、英語で話しかけるのもなんですし、私は行が全く違うホテルのためしっかり確認し待っていました。あまりの親切な対応にベルトラはいい感じのイメージでした。また、他の国でもお願いします。

Our Oahu Island Circle Tour was so much fun! Alan was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the island and all of Hawaii in general since he was born and raised there! This tour operator could not have hired a better person to tell people about the beautiful islands of Hawaii. He loves where he lives and it shows in his work. Our tour was very personal with just the three of us in the vehicle. We were able to travel at our own pace. Alan treated us to the sites and foods of island life, something we could not have seen and done on our own. The Dole Pineapple Plantation was so interesting and delicious - you must try the Dole Whip! Amazing! The North Shore was captivating with the huge waves coming in and we did see some sea turtles swimming in shallow areas. This is a must do experience!
Hello Jackie,
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you were able to join our tour and had a great time with Alan. The food and sights around the Island are so breathtaking. We hope you enjoyed your time spent in Hawaii and please come visit the Islands again. I will let Alan know of your comments.

Seeing Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was a wonderful experience, blessed with great weather. The whales were far away, but we could see their tails and spouts. I later heard they were juvenile humpback whales. Overall, it was a pleasant cruising experience. I would have liked to see the dynamic adult whales a bit closer.

お天気にも恵まれ最高の時間でした。
クジラは遥か遠くでしたが尾びれや潮吹きも確認できました。あとから聞いたら子供のザトウクジラだそう。ともかく気持ちの良いクルージングでした。もう少し近くでダイナミックな親クジラもみたかったです。

My first experience at Chief’s Luau 9 months ago was great, so when my family decided on attending a luau during this trip to Oahu, I thought Chief’s Luau would be a great choice. With pure luck, we were sat at the same table as the last time and it was front and center seating. Any closer, our eyebrows probably would of burned off by the fire show. In addition to the great seating, we loved Chief’s jokes, the dancers all performed amazingly, and the staff were all really nice. I would definitely recommend to others.

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.
Aloha Kris! We're glad that you had a great experience at the luau and had fun. Mahalo for this review, we greatly appreciate it! Hopefully you'd visit us again. Mahalo nui loa!

The free drink service was incredibly slow, and since I ordered a paid drink, it was relatively quick for me. However, the family sitting with us had to wait for their free drinks, which made me feel a bit guilty and uncomfortable. At the very least, they could have offered some water... that kind of consideration is not common overseas.
I was fine with not having a window seat. Even if you have a window seat, there’s an aisle, and there were people standing there to look at the view, so it’s not worth paying extra to secure one.
Despite having so many people, there was only one shared restroom, and it was extremely dirty.
無料のドリンクの提供がとにかく遅くて、私は有料で頼んだから比較的には早かったが、一緒の席のご家族は無料で遅かったため、なんだか申し訳なくて飲みづらかった。
だったらせめてお水出してあげるという配慮は、、、海外にはないだろう。。
席は窓側でなくて全然よかったです。
窓側って言っても通路があり、そこに立って景色を見てる方もいたため、お金出して確保するほどではない。
あんだけの人数入れてるのに、共同トイレたった1つしかなく、めちゃくちゃ汚かった。
