Our driver Ruben was great, super friendly and knowledgeable about the island.I would highly recommend the circle Island tour even if you have already done it, you will learn something new every time.
Thanks Ruben!!

Kilani, our bus driver, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable and funny. The Pearl Harbor tour guide was also excellent and informative. It rained for a bit, but then stopped. The Missouri guide was excellent but only talked at the first two stops. I thought he would talk all through the tour. It probably would have been difficult to do with the narrow passageways though. I would suggest not bringing any kind of bag unless it is a see-through one because you can't take it inside the grounds - have to pay for a locker.

A fabulous way to travel the whole island and learn about the history and culture. Our guide was local and so knowledgeable and friendly! The views were spectacular!! Communication from the company was easy to follow and navigate. I would highly recommend this company and tour :-)

I would strongly not recommend doing this tour. Horrible food and our plus added to pick up and drop off that was painful. Would’ve been better off getting an Uber both ways.

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.

I recommend this tour and asking for Travis! He was the best thing about the tour! He made our family feel welcome and took time to show us all the local stuff and really explain life there. Mahalo Travis, thanks again!

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.

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.

Aloha! We had a great time on the tour. Cousin Kimo was very knowledgeable and made the information on the tour interesting. It is the perfect length to get a sneak peak of Pearl Harbor and visit the Arizona memorial with a 3 year old in tow. So glad we did it. It is also a nice way to see a few of the hot spots downtown. Thank you cousin Kimo for all the information and the jokes that made it fun.

ハイアットから乗り合わせた総勢12名?ぐらいでスタート。
丘の上まで車なのでらくらく。
自転車も日本と同じで手のところにブレーキがあり、自転車に乗り慣れていたら余裕。
1番前にインストラクターさん、1番後ろに別のスタッフさんが運転するバンが付いてきてくれ、安心。
途中景色の良いところで自転車を停め、撮影も可能。
ワイキキ側の景色も、西側の景色もとても綺麗。
詳細のところっ含まれるものの中にスナックやミネラルウォーターとあったが、それらは無かった。
我が家は水を持ってたので問題は無かった。
Thank you!
I loved this experience.

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

Earnel was just amazing. We've done lots of tours all over the world, and on an all-day tour like this one, the guide can make or break the tour. Earnel was one of the best we've had.
He was fun, friendly, knowlegeable, and very personable. He treated us all as "ohana" and made sure we had everything we needed to get the most out of this amazing day.
We loved the monuments and the whole tour. We'll definitely recommend it to others!

It was a long and tiring day, but it was absolutely worth it. There is so much history. Most people know about the USS Arizona Memorial, but there is so much more. The submarine Bowfin, battleship Missouri and the Aviation museum. With the short movies and museums at each attraction there is so much to see and do it takes a full day. Our 9 yo boy absolutely loved it. He never complained once. His favorite part was exploring the Missouri. I highly recommend this tour.

We booked a private tour and it was the best experience ever. We got to spend longer times at the places we decided. Our driver was fun, knowledgeable, personable and professional. He made the experience even better. Our bus was a little rickety but probably because there were only 6 of us in it. We made the most of it and it definitely didn’t stop our fun. Would book again in a heartbeat.
