All Reviews for Pearl Harbor, Oahu

Great way to get ahead and skip the lines, ready to enter all museums!

Arizona comes with the tour, which is half the troubles on the park. Great and easy experience!

As a whole, the experience to see and learn more about the terrible happenings on December 7, 1941 was an outstanding opportunity and well orchestrated.

The Arizona memorial was incredibly humbling. I never knew there are more than 900 souls still at rest below the memorial. Also, the endless oil leak from the ship was quite a surprise.

Now, to be honest, I thought we'd be walking on a glass bottom floor so one could see more of the ruins. But, as it was, with the displays available, the wall of names, etc., it was quite effective.

May God continue to bless all the lost souls, injured warriors, and their families.

Next, we toured the USS Missouri. What an amazing ship with displays to explain personnel jobs, their quarters, and all the cogs of the wheel it takes to operate and maintain such massive equipment. God bless our service men and women.

Finally, we walked through the air museum. It was very cool to see all of the various aircraft on display, with some still flying today! Sweet!

Lastly, the bus driver that picked us up from our hotel was quite entertaining and full of good information. He kept us informed and laughing as we drove through Honolulu and a fallen soldier cemetery on the way to Pearl Harbor. We learned about how the reservations work, native Hawaiian life and culture, and the MANY, MANY types of Spam there are in Hawaii! Woohoo... gotta love Spam :-)

Thanks you so much for this opportunity. Obvious, you are highly recommended!!!

We used this for our honeymoon. Kaz-san provided transportation to the hotel and offered wonderful hospitality throughout our stay. The interior was very stylish and beautiful, creating a comfortable atmosphere. We felt completely at ease, especially with the Japanese staff handling the pre-flight briefing. During the flight, they introduced us to various spots and were attentive to our well-being, allowing us to enjoy the experience without any worries. Overall, it was the best. I thought right after the flight that I want to use this service again. There seem to be many operating companies, but I would choose Lani Lea without hesitation. It's a sure thing!

今回はハネムーンで利用しました。カズさんがホテルまで送迎してくれたり、終始素晴らしいおもてなしをしていただきました。店内もとてもおしゃれで綺麗で、居心地が良く、フライト前の説明も日本スタッフさんが対応してくれたりと不安は全く感じませんでした。フライト中はいろんなスポットを紹介していただいたり、終始私たちの体調を気にかけてくれたりと安心しながら楽しむことのできるフライトでした。とにかく、最高。また利用したい。フライト後すぐ思いました。たくさんの運営会社さんがあるようですが、迷わずにLani leaさんへ。間違いなしです！！

The bus had multiple stops to pick up customers our driver was very knowledgeable about all of Hawaii. He provided solid information about going to the Arizona Memorial first. The wind was picking up making the water choppy and the shuttle could stop ferrying tourists. So we were able to get on the boat as stand-by then come back and walk through the museums.

Given a lot of good information about the Punch Bowl as we drove through the grounds!

If you are in Honolulu this tour is a must.

Great way to pre-order and have passport ready to avoid the day of lines!

Solemn day in history, but happy that while on island we got to see the spot where all took place.

This tour covered all the bases and then some. I am very thankful we chose the guided tour option, the guides really know it all! Mahalo E Noa , we will be back hopefully soon!

Well organized and efficient/enjoyable tour
Bus ride out and back was very informative of the time from a local perspective. All the arrangements and timing at the historic site with its distinct ticketing ( mighty Mi, the AZ memorial) was seamless and great. Highly recommend for a fine and necessary day trip on Oahu.

We had a family of eight on this tour and all enjoyed themselves.

The bus arrived at our pickup point on time. The driver/host was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor as well as other local sites. The only slight drawback was the sound system on the bus was acting up and occasionally produced feedback (no the fault of the driver/host). She dealt with it as best she could.

We arrived at all the tour points of interest on time and had plenty of time to view each. Given the clear instructions from the driver/host, we knew exactly when to be where.

The lunch was good and the location in the aviation museum was enjoyable.

We finally were returned to the pickup point, also on time.

All-in-all a very enjoyable and interesting day. I highly recommend it.

On 11/09/2023 I went on this Pearl Harbor tour, and had a full day of education. This was my first time at Pearl Harbor, and I'm so glad I went with Polynesian Adventure Tours. They were on time for pick up, the bus was so comfortable, and the guide clearly enjoyed his job with how much information he shared on Hawaii.

When we arrived to Pearl Harbor we were given a map, that was so helpful! Each section of PH on the map was numbered, that kept me on track of the schedule of the day. Without this map I would have been so lost!

Each museum we were given plenty of time to read all the information, if you are a quick reader you may feel like it's too much time, but I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. My favorite was the submarine!!

Lunch was so yummy, and was a very generous proportion. Was served in the middle of tour which was perfect for giving me energy I needed for the rest of the day. Highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, because there is a lot of walking throughout the day.

I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a guided tour, and who isn't renting a car while on island.

What an awesome tour, it was great to get to see the island from above, nothing beats it.

Very early pick up but tour was well organised. Only concern was having lunch at about 11.15am in aviation museum - a bit too early. Not sure the 10 minute quick stop on the way back into Honolulu counted as a city tour. Otherwise a good tour highly recommended for a full day.

The staff was cheerful and kind. I have flown many times before, but this felt like a completely different drive into the sky. I gave up my window seat to a friend, but I felt like that was a mistake. I think it would be difficult for those with a fear of heights, but I would recommend it to people who enjoy attractions like roller coasters. I think I would like to ride it again.

スタッフも明るく、親切でした。今まで飛行機✈️は何度も乗っていますが、まったく違った空へのドライブって感じですか、友人に窓側（外側）を譲りましたが、失敗した感がありました。
高所恐怖症の方は難しいと思いますが、ジェットコースター等アトラクションが好きな人にはオススメですね？
もう一度乗りたいと思う、と思います。

The biggest draw for this tour is that the pickup point was directly at Disney's Aulani Resort. (Not too many other similar tours had stops there!)

Our driver Quentin made the trip a very informative one with his vast knowledge of the landmarks and places of interest. He was also very receptive to people's questions and stuck true to form with timings of tours, particularly dropoffs and pickups from the Pearl Harbor Memorial.

I would like to extend special thanks to Quentin for allowing me to take a much needed bathroom break during the Honolulu portion of the tour. The main problem, however, was that downtown Honolulu has absolutely no public restrooms anywhere, so if you don't use the restroom at the Pearl Harbor Memorial, you are screwed. Unfortunately, I had to learn that the hard way!

Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this, and I believe the party I was with did too!

Our tour was more than hoped for!
A very personable and experienced guide made
The time invaluable.

At first, I was indeed anxious about riding in a Cessna, but once we took off and I looked down from the sky, it felt really good and I enjoyed it. The pilot was surprisingly a woman and she even spoke Japanese, making it the best first experience in a Cessna. I have another trip to Hawaii planned in three years, so I definitely want to ride again. Also, during the round-trip transfer, the owner's entertaining Kansai talk was enjoyable, and my wife and I had a great conversation.

最初はやはりセスナに乗るのは不安がありましたが離陸して空から下を見ているととても気持ちがよくて良かったですね パイロットさんもビックリ女性で日本語まで話せて最高なセスナ初体験でした。３年後に又ハワイ旅行の予定があるので是非また乗りたいです それと行き帰りの送迎ではオーナー様の楽しい関西トークも楽しくて妻と話がとても盛り上がっていました

The person who came to pick us up was the owner from Kansai, and they were very kind and attentive. They shared stories about Hawaii, how they obtained their green card, their experience starting a business in Japan, and talked about their wife; they were very friendly and charming. The flight itself was also great, as we spent just under an hour flying over Oahu's tourist spots, and I was very satisfied. It is on the pricier side among activities, but it became a precious memory for my family. Thank you very much. Even if you can't speak English, there are friendly Japanese staff, so you can enjoy it without any worries! Definitely give flying in Hawaii a try.

送迎に来ていただいた方が、関西出身のオーナーさんでとても親身にしていただきました。ハワイのこと、グリーカードを取得した経緯、日本で起業したこと、奥さんとのお話などとても気さくで魅力的な方でした。肝心のフライトも島の半分を1時間弱かけてオアフ島の観光スポットを中心に上空を回ってくれて大満足でした。アクティビティの中では値が張る方ですが、家族の大切な思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。英語できなくても優しい日本人のスタッフもいるので全然楽しめますよ！是非ハワイの空を飛んでみましょう。

It was quick and convenient, no hassle no fuss. Highly recommend this

Not enough time for the Bowfin and Missouri! Especially the Missouri is so valuable and amazing!
Introduction saying drop off 16:15-17:00, but our tour actually ended by 14:30 (return from Missouri), I have no idea why but it happened like this. If we have more time, could be definitely better, a bit disappointed.

Quick and informational tour. Loved the movie and boat ride to USS Arizona. The drive through China town and historic downtown Honolulu was a plus with time to take pics at Lolani palace and King Kamehameha statue. Could have been better if the transportation was not old, creaking, and bumpy. Also, no bottled water was provided as promised and shown on the prepaid voucher. If your looking to not spend all day at Pearl harbor, pay your respects, and see downtown this is the tour to go on.

I participated alone, but it was the best experience and I was very satisfied!!! I was secured with a three-point seatbelt in the left rear window seat, and the pilot's skillful handling made it generally stable. However, when we hit turbulence, I felt the seatback being pushed, which was a bit scary at first. But the amazing views quickly made me accustomed to it.

It says to bring a jacket, but you can borrow a hoodie. They also lent me a smartphone case to hang around my neck. It's okay if you don't understand the language too well since you watch a video beforehand. I signed up for the 30-minute course, but it turned into a one-hour course at no extra charge. If your schedule is tight, it might be good to check in advance.

ひとりでの参加でしたが、最高の体験で大満足！！！
左後部窓側席に3点式シートベルトで固定されるのとパイロットの操縦が上手なので基本安定していましたが乱気流に入ると椅子の背もたれが押される感覚があり最初怖かった。ただそれ以上の景色の素晴らしさですぐ慣れます。

上着持参と有りますが、パーカー借りれます。後首から下げるスマホケースも貸してくれました。事前にビデオを見るんlで言葉が多少わからなくても大丈夫。
申し込んだのは30分ですが、追加料金無しで1時間コースになってました。スケジュールがタイトな人は確認した方が良さそうです。　

Pilot did an awesome job. Clouds could have been better so we could see the sunset but still a nice time

Customer service was amazing. Tour was exactly as advertised. Bus was clean, comfortable and air conditioned.

Arizona ferry ride and memorial were just breathtaking

A great see when staying on Oahu, holds great American history

Tour guide in car was very helpful and detailed and park was very memorable

This tour gives you access to both Missouri and Arizona in just half a day, it is a reat tour to visit PH while in Waikiki.

Friendly and warm tour guide made our experience memorable

Lunch was delicious on top of a wonderful day at the park.
