The tour can't be called fun, but i can say "don't miss it". It's very informative, quite solemn (the Arizona portion) and something i think every visitor should take in. It was well organized, good timing, and did everything we hoped it would.

Great Ride from the beginning to the end. We were picked up on time briefed about what to do and expect. Staff was very friendly. Our guide on the helicopter was very informative. Yes, your seated by weight and ofcourse you've definitely scored if you're in the front but, you have just as great a view in the back. You'll get more than enough great pictures. How can you really complain, your seeing Oahu from the sky and taking in more than expected.We even got to see a waterfall!!! Our ride back to our hotel was just as great with everyone chatting up a storm and our driver interacting with us as well and even giving us tips on where to go and what to see and do.

Was really informative, fun, yet still educational. Took the whole family we all enjoyed it. The tour around the city was just right to get the main points of Hawaiian history. The driver was very well informed on all the facts.

This tour was the highlight of my entire trip. Despite the early start time I was very impressed with all of the activities and sights we were able to see. From waterfalls to rainforests to incredible lava rock fields this tour offered everything imaginable on the Big Island of Hawaii. The tour guide could have given us some down time from the non-stop chatting but he gave a lot of very informative information and was highly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

enjoyed our explorer tour of the missiouri - tour guide Dom was amazing! Her inside knowledge was incredible! We were a little confused as to the inclusion or not of the general audio tour as well, as there was alot of things not covered on the explorers tour. Also were not aware of the proximity of the bowfin, museums... and did not have enough time to do all we would have liked at Pearl Harbour. Also, transportation would've been nice as the bus made us late for our tour even though we allowed 1 and 1/2 hours.

Pearl Harbor-Battleship Missouri Tour. I had randomly chosen this tour as a last-minute activity before we visited Honolulu. It was a wonderful surprise to have a very knowledgeable individual tour guide. The additional spaces we we able to visit on the ship were awesome and it was indeed worth price of admission.

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.

My father fought in WWII in Italy, my brother was stationed off the coast of Vietnam for two tours, and my son is now serving in Iraq. To say the least the tour of the USS Missouri and the viewing of Pearl Harbor was emotional...just thinking about all who fought for our freedom and all who gave their life. Thank you for preserving history.

The tour guide was exceptionally well researched and provided outstanding commentary and audio visual presentations. The guide put a personal flavor with little known facts and trivia tid-bits leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Highly recommended to military and civilians. Thanks Olav!

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.

Thank you for allowing us to join in on the celebration at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7. This was a special day for myself and my family.
I enjoyed the trip but would have liked more time to see the museum exhibits. The meal was ok but the eating place was way too crowded.
Brandon was a great guide. He answered qustions and kept us going all day.

Besides traveling with family, I had the neighbor next door with us. Her husband was a Pearl Habor survivor so this day was very special to her. To me, it was a once in a life time experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to celebrate with such a special ceremony.
The tour itself was ok. I was disappointed we did not get to spend more time in the museums and to hear more about the events that happened that day.
The lunch stop was too crowded. I was not able to set with my family during the meal.

What a wonderful experience to be at Pearl Habor on Dec. 7 and to be able to paricipate in the dedication. To me, it was a once in a life time experience.
The food at our lunch stop was ok. The room they placed us in to eat was not acceptable. It was too crowded and I was not able to be any where near my family when we ate.
We did not have lots of time to visit the museums.
