Waikiki
I have been on this tour before and every time I have enjoyed myself. This time my nephew came and he enjoyed himself as well. The bus ride was very nice and the drive was very entertaining as well as knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour if you would like to see Pearl Harbor, USS Missouri and etc.
An amazing and moving experience visiting all 3 locations in Pearl Harbour. The experience was made extra easy and smooth with attention provided by tour guide Marlow.
Don't miss the chance to experience all of Pearl harbour.
Our guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. Our experience was well worth the cost. I would highly recommend.
This was the one tour that my soon-to-be husband wanted to do since he is a big World War II fan. Our favorite part was visiting the USS Arizona and the aerial museum. The audio tour at Pearl Harbor was insightful for myself not knowing as much as my partner. It was a very long day and we were very hot when we got to the USS Missouri. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. Loved the pick up and drop off at our hotel.
Wear comfy shoes and a hat is highly recommended.

We weren't able to go on the memorial, I understand that, but Ranger who talked on the boat over should be given another job! One, she had to read off a paper about what happened on Dec-7. many times she lost her place and had to start over! If I couldn' t remember what happend I'd give on my job! Volunteer on Missouri was terrific,older retired military, very good presentation,knew what the hell he was talking about unlike the woman Ranger!
My son and I both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and found the staff and guides friendly, interesting and helpful. The only disappointment was that, at the end of the tour, we could have been given more time to tour the USS Missouri.
Book the all day tour. Although it was expensive, we felt it was well worth it.
Aloha and mahalo for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad you had an excellent experience from start to finish, and we appreciate you sharing those helpful feedback regarding the USS MO timing. Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure; we’re honored to have been part of your Hawaiian journey and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon!

We are visiting from Australia and very impressed with the service and quality of this tour. Bus driver was hilarious, he had all the Dad jokes and was very informative. The Pearl Harbor Tour was both informative and respectful. Plus we received a delicious lunch. Bus was very comfortable and clean and on time. Would definitely recommend.
Dont be late for your pick up as it has a knock on effect with other passengers. We had no issues.
This is absolutely a bucket list trip that everyone should take. It’s an amazing place with the USS Arizona Memorial and the tragedy of WWII. Finishing with the USS Missouri.
Aloha and mahalo for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad you had an excellent experience on our Pearl Harbor tour with lunch. It truly is a meaningful journey to learn about the beginning and end of WWII and to honor those who were impacted by the war.
Thank you for choosing Polynesian Adventure — we’re honored to have been part of your Hawaiian experience and hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure.

Our guide was the best person we met throughout all the islands. He made this tour so personal and special, and was great overall.

This was our first Hawaii visit and first tour on the island. The experience of this tour was well worth it, we had a great time and were able to take plenty of pictures. The communication was very clear on where we would be picked up, the times for each stop on the tour and information on each stop. We had plenty of time at each stop. We recommend the tour and would do it again.
Our tour guide was Wes. He was an excellent tour guide in charge was knowledgeable, entertaining & a historian of Hawaiian culture. We learned so much. We were touched so profoundly by the memorials.🇺🇸💝
Walking shoes & water bottle are a must.
I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guider is so nice, and organized very well, cared every person in the group, answered questions patiently. Also, the tour planned itself is excellent, no hurry, enough time for each activities, especially for seniors.
Thank you!
We loved the extra inclusions on this tour! Fabulous and easy day around PH
This was awesome way to have all the museums as my husband really wanted a tour with everything!
Wes is the best! Very informative! We learned a lot!
This was a great tour full of information and great experiences. I would highly recommend this tour to others.
This was an awesome tour with lunch included, our tour guide Ernie was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour very pleasant and educating! Very glad we selected this tour, and also very glad we got a great tour guide.
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!!!
Sincerely,

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.
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.
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.
Lunch was delicious on top of a wonderful day at the park.
Aloha Kara - Pearl Harbor is an amazing place of reflection on our Military Community. They are all true heros! Mahalo for spending the day with us! A hui hou, Poly Ad Ohana
Driver was informative. Very professional and helpful.
Tour driver was knowledgeable and was funny too. She knew the History and insight on the area.
As overseas visitors we were able to see and learned on what actually happened about the surprise attack on the Pearl Harbor naval facilities based on the videos presented and ships hit by the surprise attack. How the US navy base survived the attack. Our visit to the historical place was a big help on our history knowledge.
Transpo- very good
Overall tour is very informative and enjoyable. Tour guides are great. Able to see uss misouri,uss bowfin and uss arizona memorial. The museum is great! I was talking to one of the personnel and he even gave me story about pearl harbour. Food serve is delicious. Able to meet my kababayan from Philippines. Thank you
Mahalo for spending the day with us at Pearl Harbor. One really needs to see it to understand and remember this infamous day in our history. Me ke aloha pumehana, Poly Ad Oahana
The day goes by quick, so you may need a second day to explore, but the lunch add in was nice as it is hot durin the summer walking around grounds!
It is a memorable day for us, we went to Arizona memorial, bowfin submarine in the morning, we had lunch at the hangers, then visited the battleship. We don’t need to worry about the tickets, shuttle and lunch, all have been arranged well, we have enough time to visit everywhere we like, I highly recommend the trip.
Such a great way to see all of the Pearl Harbor sites! Pick up in Waikiki and all of the tickets included made it very easy. The included lunch was delicious and generous portion size. Our tour guide was very engaged and informative - she called us all her cousins and taught us a lot about Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Would highly recommend!!
Mahalo for joining us Andrea! Glad you enjoyed your visit. Pearl Harbor experience is emotional and humbling indeed! Take care, Poly Ad Ohana
