Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & USS Battleship Missouri Tour - Tickets and Transportation Included
Loved our tour guide Nani. He was punctual and informative and FUN
Activity Date: 2022/04/29 | Posted on: 2022/05/01

Our tour guide Nani made the experience memorable. His knowledge of the history of the island was a wonderful complement to the tour. He made a solemn experience truly enjoyable.

We love Nani too! We are so glad to hear that Nani was able to make the day so fun for you. Pearl Harbor really can be such a solemn experience so it takes a exceptional person to make it fun. Mahalo for the review!

Discover the Best of Oahu on a Full-Day Circle Island Guided Tour with Waimea Valley & Local Lunch
Great Tour
Activity Date: 2022/04/08 | Posted on: 2022/04/30

We were a big group - like 27 of us - and most were visiting Hawaii for the first time. This was the first activity we did and I’m glad we did because we learned a lot about the island. Kim our driver and tourist guide was great! It also helped that we had the whole bus to ourselves.
Bring swimsuit to go have a dip at the Waimea Falls. If you don’t, you will have to shell out a lot of money to buy some at the spot!
The fee for the tour Is well worth it! Strongly recommend this.

Step Inside McGarrett’s House on Oahu - Exclusive Access Hawaii Five-0 Tour & Meet Cousin Flippa
Awesome!
Activity Date: 2022/03/30 | Posted on: 2022/04/24

I am 11 years old and love the show. But just getting to wall in his house was awesome and the tour guide knew knew many facts and I just had the most fun time of my life spending there. He also made great sandwiches and I would so do it again. I hope that this tour gets out to more people and I encourage them to have the same experience that I had. Thank you so much I loved it.

Great fun and entertainment!! Food was fair but the rest was awesome!! We don’t like seafood so didn’t have the crab legs. Everyone was saying they were delicious. We had the chicken and steak. It was fair but we were really there for the sights and entertainment! Great night beautiful sunset and fun entertainment!!

What a wonderful experience for the whole family! I felt like family while we were there. The Chief was great! The fire dancers were great! The women dancers were great! Food was great! I loved the story telling and the teachings about Polynesian culture. I would do this experience again.

Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial & USS Battleship Missouri Tour - Tickets and Transportation Included
Great tour!
Activity Date: 2022/03/29 | Posted on: 2022/04/16

Seeing the Arizona has been on my bucket list for several years. Seeing it and the Missouri was an experience. I didnt go on the Bowfin or into the Aviation museum, but I saw them. The bus had issues at first and they called another bus which caused the tour to be very late. He did stay later, but we didnt have time for the film or much browsing around. They do a little city tour, which is ok but they dont stop for pictures or anything. In my opinion, they should devote the whole tour to Pearl Harbor. It needs more time. I did a trolley ride later on that does a city tour with stops. It was still a good day, just wish I had had more time there.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show & Dinner Buffet with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Show outstanding!
Activity Date: 2022/04/08 | Posted on: 2022/04/10

I loved everything about the traditional dance and music. Amazing — especially the fire show. The rest was a huge cattle roundup with loading us onto buses, standing in lines, sitting in long tables, getting food like school lunches — all in a not-ambiance-producing water park. So I honor the Chief and his love, as well as Cousin Lisa our bus driver’s spirit of love and family but there was nothing relaxing about this production. Luau’s should be on grass among trees near water with time to socialize and enjoy the time with new friends and old. Thank you for sharing Polynesian culture though!

Hula Show and Cruise in 1 package!! Lovely Experience!
Activity Date: 2022/03/16 | Posted on: 2022/04/09

Amazing Experience. Paid for transportation pickup from the hotel- very convenient. The deck views of the city were breath- taking. You didn't feel the boat moving. My family was seated at the table in front of the stage- could not have Asked for better seats for the fun historical entertainment! The crowd was engaged the entire time. The table was set up beautifully. Wine for toasting was kid friendly. The Deluxe 3 star course meal was awesome. The servers were very nice and prompt. My family had a great time on this cruise. Do recommend!

We had so much fun on this tour. Our guide, Juice, was very funny but also full of information about the islands. He taught us all the Hawaiian language and gave us so much history of the natives and the island. If you go on this tour, request him as your tour guide!!

Great Show and Dinner!
Activity Date: 2022/04/03 | Posted on: 2022/04/05

We purchased the Royal package and it was worth the extra $. We were the first to go up to dinner and front row seating.

The show was funny and entertaining! The Chief put in a lot of funny jokes and taught the audience some Hawaiian words and phrases. Food was great, with roasted pork as the centerpiece with lots of authentic-tasting foods.

Would definitely do it again!

Great entertainment but not so great food

This was not our first luau so we had something else to compare it to. The story line/context of the dance/show was very similar, performed better at Chief’s, the comedy was fantastic but the food fell so far short I felt like we paid way too much for the overall experience.

Star of Honolulu Whale Watching Cruise with Banana Bread & Coffee | 2-Hour Morning Tour [Jan-Mar]
Whales!!
Activity Date: 2022/02/21 | Posted on: 2022/03/21

The vessel is more like a ship than a boat like it has 3-4 levels. Very organized and informational! The staff is friendly. Lots of room to walk around. They offer motion pills or some kind of ginger cocktail to prevent motion sickness. They also offered small snakes like chips. There wasn't an option for breakfast.
I went in February and and I saw about 7-10 whales( sprays, tip of their tails). I think 1 or 2 came close to the boat. I enjoyed it. My little one (5yo) was mostly running around...lol.

Always Honest Review
Activity Date: 2022/02/19 | Posted on: 2022/03/13

We voted - BEST EVER Guide
Genni was the best, friendliest, down to earth and very Island knowledgeable. Showing us Pearl Harbor, The Missouri, Arizona and the streets and landmarks in Honolulu, she really made our experience incredible. We only wished she could have joined us on our entire vacation.
She went above and beyond to show us what Hawaiin Hospitality really is.
She is SO highly recommended by me and our family members 12 out of 10 stars!

I do not want to miss - Marie - I only spoke with her on the phone, but with all the ever changing trip details. She was so Great, patiently understanding and making all our changes, making the stress of scheduling multiple family member vacation activities so easy!
We would and have recommended this tour company multiple times already. Best EVER tours!!
