Royal Star Pearl Harbor Experience with Tickets to Arizona Memorial & City Tour

2nd time in Oahu, first time at Pearl Harbor.

Reviewed by: Brendan

The last time I came to Hawaii, I didn't have time to come to Pearl Harbor. Missing it had been one of my biggest regrets of that trip, so when I came back again it was pretty much the only thing on my "must do" list. I normally buy my excursions as a last minute thing so that I can be free to decide last minute what I want to do with my precious vacation days, but not wanting to risk missing Pearl Harbor again, I booked this excursion about a week before I arrived on the islands. I did a bit of research on different tours and options and decided that the USS Arizona memorial was what I was most interested in, and (due to a rebate offered for writing a review), veltra ended up being the best deal I could find. The trip itself was pretty basic... A bus tour of several areas of town including the old palace and the military gravesite near then punch bowl, but the driver was friendly and informative and the bus was comfortable.
Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona memorial were great to see. It was a very moving experience and I highly recommend it to anyone who has the time.

If you are going to Pearl Harbour definitely sign up for this tour!

Reviewed by: Lisa

I could not decide what was the best way to get to Pearl Harbour. The trolley seemed inconvenient and hiring a taxi was too expensive. Then I saw this tour on hawaii activities.com and realized this was my best option. Not only was the bus very comfortable, our motorcoach operator Marlon was very smooth in executing the whole tour, and his follow up on Pearl Harbor was superb. What was also great is the efficiently planned out schedule of this tour. You have to wake up a little early, but you come back to the Wakiki area by 12 in the afternoon, which still gives you all of the afternoon and night to do something else. Pearl Harbor is just one of those places in Hawaii that some people go visit and some don't because of the location, but I thought it was one of the best experiences during my trip, and I think this convenient tour helped me make it so!

Third cultural experience tour (hula) 3回目の文化体験ツアー（フラ）

Reviewed by: hoku lani

I participated with four friends from my hula class. Before the hula lesson, we received information about the plants that were planted and explanations of the exhibits in the building (which were very educational), and then we had our beloved Noelani's lesson... Amazingly, it was just the four of us experiencing it!!! We even had time to practice writing the hula and I made sure to remember it well for my return home.

However, it's unfortunate that the shuttle service from Honolulu to the Bishop Museum, which was included in the past two visits, was no longer available this time. I was considering taking The Bus, but since the start time is in the morning, I thought there would be many students commuting. So, I took a taxi there (which took about 20 minutes) and returned by The Bus. On the way back, there were many students on board, and I had to stand for about an hour. Since our time was limited, that hour of travel was precious, so I hope they will reinstate the shuttle service.

フラ教室の仲間4人と参加しました。フラレッスン前に植えられている植物のお話や館内での展示物の説明（とっても勉強になりました。）を受け、大好きなノエラニのレッスンに…。なんと私たち4人だけで体験することに!!!振りを書く時間もあり、しっかり覚えて帰国しました。

ただ、残念なのが過去2回はホノルルからビショップミュージアムの送迎付だったのに今回からなくなっていました。ザ・バスの移動と考えてましたが、開始時間が朝なので時間帯から学校へ通う学生がたくさん乗るだろうと、行きはタクシー（所要時間20分）帰りはザ・バスで移動。帰りも学生がたくさん乗ってて1時間ぐらい立ちっぱなしでした。滞在時間が限られているので、1時間の移動は貴重なので送迎付を復活してほしいです。

Highlight sight

Reviewed by: Jeremy

My girlfriend Constance and I were highly recommended to do this tour prior to our trip to Hawaii and we were not disappointed. This tour will now be top of our list of recommendations to other friends and family as it is as breathtaking and exhilarating as expected. The sights seen on this tour is truly unbelievable and needs to be seen to be believed. As a couple, we were slightly hesitant as we are more the adventurous type, however this tour still gave us a great look into history of the island which was some amazing stuff. It was very informative and interesting and really gave us Australians a little glimpse of what the U.S had endured back in the day. If and when my girlfriend and I return to Hawaii (I'm sure we will soon) we will most likely do this tour again, as the views and sights cannot be compared to anything else. We are so glad we went ahead with this booking and tour because the tour guide and transportation to and from were great also to make for a perfect day.

Must do tour in Oahu

Reviewed by: Hugo Lopez

The Pearl Harbor tour was one of the best tours we did during our vacation in Oahu. Our driver Larry was very informative during the tour. We got a little taste of the history of Oahu. Larry made our tour very interesting and entertaining. He gave us lots of stories bout the history of Hawaii that previous to taking the tour we were not aware of. The city of Honolulu had numerous historical places to visit. Once we arrived to Pearl Harbor, we were very excited. Larry spoke about the historical importance Pearl Harbor had in American history. The movie that was played before the boat ride to the memorial was very well made. It was very interesting and educational. The fact that it had actual video footage from the attack of Pearl Harbor made it very real and emotional. Furthermore,the tour to the SS Arizona memorial was amazing. It's definitely something I would recommend to anyone visiting Oahu. Being on the memorial and seeing the names of all the people who lost their lives on the SS Arizona was very moving. The tour is very well organized that it's interesting for the whole family.

I attended my mother's 77th birthday celebration with my sister and brother. 母の喜寿祝いに妹と3人で参加しました。

Reviewed by: マノン

To get to the Bishop Museum, I took The Bus number 2 from the bus stop at Sheraton Waikiki, which is a 3-minute walk from the hotel, departing at 08:03. After about 45 minutes, I got off at School St. and entered the museum around 09:00.

I had no worries since I confirmed all this information with the hotel staff and the bus driver before departing.

Upon arrival, I received an explanation of the museum from a Japanese staff member named Aya, who loves and has studied Hawaiian culture. After that, I took a beginner hula lesson for about an hour. The instructor, Noelani Chang, was visiting from Japan, and the lesson was conducted by her niece.

The song we learned was "Halema,uma,u." My mother is an intermediate hula dancer with over three years of experience in Japan, but my sister and I were first-timers. However, wearing matching colored pāu skirts, we followed the instructor's movements and managed to learn four parts within an hour. Although we made some mistakes here and there, we were able to dance through the entire song.

At the end, we took a commemorative group photo, and afterward, we enjoyed making leis using plumeria flowers and long green leaves (I forgot the name) that had been thawed and softened, which we took home as souvenirs.

It was a very fulfilling tour, and everyone was extremely satisfied. On the way back, one person got off to visit Foster Botanical Garden, Izumo Taisha, and Chinatown, and we returned to Waikiki via the HIS free trolley from King's Village.

　ビショップミュージアムへは、宿泊先のシェラトンワイキキから徒歩3分のバス停08：03発のＴｈｅ　Ｂｕｓｓ２番に乗車、約45分走行後のＳｃｈｏｏｌSt.で下車し、09：00頃入館しました。
　こういった情報については、ホテルスタッフやバス運転手に十分な確認をとってから出発したので不安はありませんでした。
　到着後は、ハワイ文化が好きで勉強したという日本人スタッフのＡＹＡさんから、館内説明を受け、その後、約1時間のフラ（初級）レッスンを受けました。
　　講師のＮoelani Chang（ノエラニ　チャン）さんは、丁度日本の教室へ出張中という事で、その姪御さんからのレッスンとなりました。
　曲目はHalema,uma,u「ハレマウマウ」
　母は日本でのフラ経験3年以上の中級者ですが、妹と私は初体験でした。でも、色違いのパウスカートを身に着けて、講師のするとおりに踊り、1時間で何とか４つのパートを覚え、ところどころ間違いながらも、通して1曲踊れるまでになりました。
　最後に皆で記念撮影、その後は、プルメリアの花と解凍して柔らかくした緑色の長い葉っぱ（名前は忘れました）を使ったレイ作りを楽しみ、お土産に持ち帰りました。
　とても充実したツアーとなり、皆大満足でした。
　帰りのバスでは、一人途中下車して、フォスター植物園、出雲大社、チャイナタウンを歩いて回り、キングスビレッジからＨＩＳの無料トロリーでワイキキまで戻って来ました。

Larry, our motor coach driver went the extra mile for us. Very informative, funny and pleasant; but somber/respectful when appropriate. It does not matter if you are a history buff or not-- a very moving experience to see where our WW2 began and where it ended. The Punch Bowel National Memorial brings it all home and makes you proud to be an American in the resting place of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

What a pity!

Reviewed by: Marzia (Roma-Italy)

This tour was very disappointing, because I have chosen it not only to visit the Arizona memorial (a visit that can be done in complete autonomy), but to take advantage of the city shuttle tour to get a first impression of the city of Honolulu. I knew it would have been only a short morning tour, but it was almost useless to do it because we didn't see practically anything. However, and this is the great disappointment, we were half an hour in a gift shop! Half an hour which obviously could be devoted to the city tour. However the visit the Arizona Memorial is a "must do" moving experience, and the driver of the shuttle was an Amazing and caring person.

Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets

Circle Island Tour, Polynesain Cultural Center, dinner & show on Motorcoach/Amb Alii Luau with Guide

Reviewed by: Stella Martin YT Cda

Our tour of the island was very enjoyable. Very happy to see the Pineapples growing, and the lay of the land. The guides were prompt and the guide at the Centre, was especially polite. (Congrats to them, too, for indicating they do not except tips.) We visited three villages but I've done these without a guide and on my own, saw all six villages in the time he took us to three. I know time is spent gathering people and passing out leis and explaining procedures, but this did detract from what we could experience. I would suggest that at the Center, folks are given the option to go with the guide or go on their own. The luau and HA - Breath of Life show are phenomenal!! We had half a house for the audience and I was so impressed with the quality of singing and dancing, of the performers, that I started the standing ovation. Those students really deserve our appreciation!!

The center itself focuses too much on entertainment and not enough on education. It is run by the Morman education system, so one would think if we are supporting the students we in turn would be educated about the various Polynesian cultures around the pacific.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours from Honolulu - Oahu Circle Island Flights

Hawaiian Paradise...I was so blown away! Glad we did it!

Reviewed by: Ms. Ems

In celebration of our 11th Year Anniversary, my husband and I agreed getting on a helicopter tour. At first, I was worried about motion sickness, and all these negative thoughts we had in our minds especially that we have young children but as we were heading to the helicopter site, the fear that we've had before is turning to an excitement, even more so after we were checked-in by Vincent, who was very helpful, funny, and was able to answer some of the questions and concerns I had before the flight. The weather was cooperating with us too as it was sunny, bright blue skies, with no high winds considering that there was a storm and strong winds the day before. We were asked to check-in 45 minutes before the flight and I thought that was too early but once we got there, the time actually went by too fast as we watched videos of these great sceneries taken on the flights that got us even more fired up!

Adam was our pilot that day and he was very professional, friendly, and informative. He even had us take our time to see the whales as we spotted them swimming in the ocean (we saw 4), and also tons of turtles floating above the water. I like how he communicates with everyone as well and made sure that we are all doing okay.

We are local residents by the way, we've been living in Oahu for 19 years and I have never seen the island so remarkably beautiful until we took this flight! It was amazing and I never stopped talking about it! The sceneries were breathtaking, especially the views of Kaneohe Sandbar! Just incredibly stunning, and what a stress reliever! I don't know how else to express myself but our experience was beyond our expectation! I never appreciated Mother Nature as much as I do now so thank you Blue Hawaiian Helicopters for showing us these and the wonderful experience that will truly last a lifetime! Lucky to live Hawaii..INDEED!

Oahu Island Guided Tour, Waimea Waterfall Swim & Dole Pineapple Farm

A bit too much time on a bus,

Reviewed by: Jesper

It was nice to see various things on this tour, but it felt a bit too much like sitting on a bus a lot of the time, with too short stops at interesting places. We got sufficient time at the Byodo-In temple, which was good, but the North Shore was less than a 5 minute stop. I really wanted to see the Kualoa ranch, and partly booked this tour because of it going there, but the short tram ride only did a short route outside the valley of the ranch, which was a personal disappointment for me (I went for a full Kualoa tour the following day to make up for that).
The Pali lookout was nice.
I would have enjoyed it better if I got to see less things in a better way, than to rush through several things too quickly.

Pearl harbor deluxe motorcoach shuttle

Reviewed by: Kate

Our Pearl Harbor Deluxe Motorcoach shuttle tour was one of our favourite experiences on our hawaii holiday. We were welcomed by a friendly and humerous tour guide who made our tour fun and very informative. We started our information session on the Arizona memorial which included a screening of a video clip looking back into the era of the invasion of the japanese into pearl harbor and the demolage that was to take place. We learnt that on that fatal day the Japanese bombed that no one at pearl harbour that day were aware of the Japanese planes nearing and were not prepared for the carnage that was to follow. We then took the ferry over to the Arizona memorial where we got to look upon the sunken Arizona battleship and pay respect to all those who deceased on that ship. We then caught the ferry back and then took a bus over to the U.S.S Missouri ship where a tour guide explained the importance of the ships past etc. where the japanese signed the treaty with the u.s. to end the war and its use in three wars. We were then able to explore the ship by ourselves and see where the soldiers once bunked, ate, and took to everyday duties on the ship. We then bought a few items from the gift shop and met our motorcoach tour guide back at the coach to continue on to see the sights of Punch Bowl cemetary and Honolulu. Our tour guide continued to show us important sights and buildings around honolulu.
We got to see the beauty of the honolulu landscape which include tropical and international plant life and amazing architecture. We were then taken back to our hotel where we were dropped right outside and thanked our amazing tour guide for a great day had.
