This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we wanted to make sure that we don't miss North Shore, but didn't want to take a typical sightseeing tour on a huge bus with 50 other people. This tour turns out to be a great one with a lot of personal touch. We were able to enjoy a full day on Waimea Bay, just relaxing, snorkeling, swimming, etc. A perfect day on the north shore. We were also able to check out the Haleiwa Town to do some shopping. There are a lot of artists living there to sell their beautiful arts. Highly recommended!

This was worthwhile. Guide was helpful, informative, friendly. One drawback - necessary time limitations; if you really want to be leisurely about the visit, tour the museum using the audio guide ($5 price, not part of Hawaiiactivities.com), shop the store at your pace, etc., it may be better to drive yourself to the site. If that's not your objective, then this tour is perfect. The tour of Honolulu afterward was very enjoyable, giving bits of history and current news.

The navy treats the arizona memorial as a cemetary, and most of the guests do the same. Some people feel the need to ruin it for everyone else by talking loudly, but besides them, there is a definate feeling of patriotism onboard the memorial. The city tour was fact filled and interesting.

Visiting Pearl Harbor is a very solemn experience embedded in history and displayed for future generations in an eloquent, respectful, and informative manner.
I would definitely recommend this tour to others with the suggestion that those going do so in the morning and as there usually is quite a line to get in. However, the tour is well worth it. You can actually imagine what it would have been like to experience the fateful event. The dignified proceedings allow one to truly reflect upon the historic happenings of Dec. 7th, 1941, without an atmosphere of hopelessness.

The "Waikiki Trolley 4-Day Unlimited Ride Coupon" is definitely a great deal. For seniors (62 years and older), it's only $27, while just the Blue Line typically costs $25 (the same goes for the Red Line). We enjoyed hopping on and off the Blue Line and Red Line freely. However, the Blue Line runs once an hour, and the Red Line about every 45 minutes, so we printed out the timetable in advance to carry with us. There are also Japanese explanations (on tape) on board, and some drivers provide guidance in Japanese, which makes it quite enjoyable!
「ワイキキトロリー4日間4ライン乗り放題」のクーポンこれは絶対お得です。シニア(62歳以上)は僅か27ドル、ブルーラインだけでも通常25ドルなのです。(レッドラインも同じ)私たちはブルーライン、レッドラインで途中下車したりそれこそ勝手気ままに乗り放題でした。ただ、ブルーラインは1時間に1本、レッドラインも45分に1本程度なので事前にネットで時刻表をプリントして持ち歩きました。車内では日本語の説明(テープ)もありドライバーも人によっては結構日本語で案内してくれるので楽しいですよ!

We were picked up at a hotel very near ours, easy to find. We had a large comfortable bus. The bus driver provide great commentary during the drive to the Arizona. The Arizona memorial is always awesome. This is my third time, my families first. Great video presentation and museum prior to the boat ride.
Tour of the City afterwards was great and we took the option to be dropped off at Hilo Hatties. Great Hawaiian Store.
Thanks!

I was considering that I might not need to use the trolley just around Waikiki, but since I wanted to go to Diamond Head, I thought, why not! So I signed up for the unlimited ride pass for four days. The Blue Line has a long course that takes three hours to complete one loop, but they stop for 15 to 25 minutes at photo spots, which is a nice service, making it feel like a little sightseeing bus. If the driver is a fun person, you really feel like you've gotten a great deal. Most visitors to Hawaii arrange their trips through travel agencies, so I think many will have the unlimited trolley tickets, but I would definitely recommend it for those traveling independently.
ワイキキ周辺だけならトローリーの利用は必要ないかもと考えていたのですが、ダイヤモンドヘッドへ行きたかったので、どうせなら!と思い4日間乗り放題を申し込みました。
ブルーラインは3時間で1週する長いコースですが、撮影スポットでは15~25分停車してくれるなどのサービスがあり、ちょっとした観光バスでした。
運転手さんが楽しい方なら、本当に得をした気分になりますよ。
ハワイを訪れるほとんどの方が旅行会社を通しての手配なので、トローリー乗り放題のチケットを持っていらっしゃると思いますが、個人旅行の方にはお薦めしたいと思います。

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!!

We were picked up on schedule, the bus driver was excellent -
very informative - even telling us not to jay walk because
Honolulu accessed a $92 fine for doing so.
We had an excellent narration the entire time we were on the
bus and, it goes without saying, the Memorial is well worth
going to see. Very touching.
He returned us to our point of origin as scheduled.

The Arizona Memorial Tour was far more then I expected. I think everyone should visit the memorial at least once, and then again any time their patriotism fades. To see first hand the devastation of the ship and realize that there are hundreds of men entombed there is a real eye opener. Our guide was friendly and informative. I would suggest paying the $5 at the memorial for the audio tour, we didn't, and I feel we missed out on some of the reality. The museum is phenomenal and you really need to take your time through it. It's a great tour, but I would like to have spent more time there.
