We spent a very good time there. Our guide, his name is translated as Handsome in English as per his words was Amazing. He told us interesting stories all throughout the way. Also he explained everything in details before our tour.

As a first time visitor to Hawaii, this 7 hour tour of Honolulu and Pearl Harbor covered everything I was hoping for. Our guide Finny was extremely knowledgable and courteous. The first part of the tour focused on the history of the islands, the culture prior the American annexation and the impact of our occupation on the people and their culture. In addition to taking us to many historical sites, Finny pointed out some familiar Hawaii 50 filming locations and the harbor where the Gilligan's Island 3 hour tour started. The 2nd part of the tour was Pearl Harbor. The visit included dedicated tickets to the USS Arizona Memorial (where the war started) and the USS Missouri Battleship (where the Japanese surrendered to General MacArthur. Finny pointed out many interesting details of the attack and some of the heroes of the day, that I was not previously aware of. The visit was a very moving and memorable experience.
Security does not allow you to enter the base with any back packs or bags. You can carry small items like cell phones and a water bottle. Storage lockers are available.
I highly recommend this tour for first time visitors to Pearl Harbor and Honolulu.

I highly recommend this tour. Anyone who has an interest in history will enjoy it. It was moving standing above the Arizona where World War II started and on the Missouri where the surrender agreement was signed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and professional.

No USS Arizona, it seems like it is getting hard to get the tickets the companies were saying, rest was great though!

The tour was great. Our tour guy Big Tony made it exceptionally great. He was fun and very informative. He made us feel welcomed and was very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of the island. He made sure we were comfortable and went out of his way to even take pictures for us. I would definitely recommend this tour and hopefully you get Big Tony.

Driver/ Tour Guide was great. Knew his route and the points of interest.
Cannot say the excursion was what we expected. We did not get to see the Arizona even though we saw it in 2017, because the lines were too long. we were not told when we booked the excursion that the docks would be in repair. Apparently its omnly about the money. No service involved. We were told the Military was running the ticket sales. So, we booked this several months in advance and were told the tickets were purchased the day before. Great service. Again all about money with no delivery.
The Honolulu part was fine.
Would not recommend unless you are going to be upfront with the customer.

Well, we didn't start off on time due to an unavoidable traffic issue. Once Juicy showed up the trip began and he kept us rolling in the aisles with funny stories and excellent information about the sights. Did I mention that Juicy made up for arriving late? Each stop was awesome and he went out of his way to make it just that much more special. The lunch was some yet delicious. I feel bad because I actually forgot his real name. The only name we got familiar with was Juicy. What a sweet and funny man. I really connected with him. Glad we took this tour.

First of all our tour guide Humu Humu was so cool! It was very interesting to hear his stories about the culture, his life background, and the history of the island. Pearl Harbor was absolutely beautiful and must be done if it's your first time in Oahu. The views there were very scenic and emotional. I would definitely do it again if I come back!

Firstly our open top tour bus turned up on time and we was warmly welcomed by our host Nani Popolo ( a real gem ) .
He gave us the good news straight away , that we had tickets for the Arizona memorial ( no stand by queue's for us ) .
Nani gave us in depth information throughout the day and was always on hand for photo's etc . His humour and song covered the many different age groups and genre's aboard.
The Arizona , Missouri and Oklahoma sites were all as memorizing as each other , in their own different ways .
This trip was a bucket list item for my 65th birthday , we travelled from the UK for it . Our tour was worth every penny .

We did a whole island, 8 hr tour of Oahu with Ciso! We was the best! He made the day so wonderful. He is well informed and each stop was great! I’d take any tour he does again! He made the entire bus laugh! Thank you Ciso for a great day! Mahalo!

Vicky our tour guide was awesome, knowledgable and managed to ensure we had an amazing time visiting different areas and also rearranging stops if other activities were unavailable due to weather . Coming from England meant I have to put faith in other peoples reviews of the circle island tours and 100% no regrets. Loves every minute

Beginning with our pickup, through drop off, our trip was fantastic. Our tour guide was the best. Our first stop was to see city sights and he allowed us time for pictures along with him taking our group pictures. The battleship was fascinating and of course Pearl Harbour was very touching. Great tour.

We had a great time. We only took the short tour which wasn't near enough time so we'll definitely be doing it again & taking the longer tour.
Our bus driver was full of knowledge about Pearl Harbor & Hawaii so the trip there & back was also amazing.

The bus ride was fun and the tour guide did an excellent job. But this tour did not give us reserved access to the Arizona tour. My family was extremely disappointed.
We hate hearing that the USS Arizona ticket shortage is affecting our guests experiences. We know it is disappointing and we wish there was more we could do. We are glad to hear you enjoyed the rest of the tour and that your driver was excellent. Thank you for providing us with this review about your experience with us.

This tour was exactly what we wanted, transportation with Ana excellent guide and host, then the opportunity to visit a place of American history on our own. It was a somber, sobering and fulfilling time as we learned more about the greatest American generation and the sacrifices they made for their and future generations. Juicy added to our trip by providing extra facts and great fun along the way there and back.
We at E Noa thank you for choosing us to provide this important and memorable experience. We are delighted to hear that Juicy was able to make it that much better. Mahalo for this review and we hope to see you again!

Pearl Harbor is a very memoric place! Great day I loved it.
We agree! Pearl Harbor is such an important piece of history so it is no surprise it is often at the top of visitors list of things to experience. Mahalo for the 5 star rating. We would love it if you checked out Waikiki Trolley for more historic and memorable places to see.

This was suppose to be one of the highlights of our trip to Oahu… the Pearl Harbor specifically the visit to USS Arizona! We fully paid months before our Hawaii trip. Why a poor review? There were 18 of us. Families and friends. We were informed that they were not able to get a ticket for us to go to USS Arizona, right during the bus pickup! Our other friends who were on a different time slot, same day, were able to do so no problem. We feel that this company should have informed us ahead of time so we would have an opportunity to book with another company. So disappointed! Not good business! I hope this does not happen to anyone else.

Very easy booking/ shuttle was right on time and driver was friendly and clear about instructions for when we got to the memorial. No having to wait on lines and the tour gave plenty of time to see the memorial and walk around the grounds. Would highly recommend
Mahalo for the 5 stars! We are so glad you enjoyed your tour.

We hit the jackpot! Kimo was an excellent tour guide and was full of history and information. When we got to the different spots, he walked with us, telling us more. We saw other E Noa drivers sitting by their buses waiting for the people to come back. Kimo made the trip so much fun! Don’t be last on the bus or he’ll make you do a short hula while he plays his ukulele!
Not sure if you can request, but If you get Kimo, you’re going to get waaay more than your moneys worth!
Oh! And the local lunch spot was DELICIOUS! We wanted to get another and take it back to the hotel!
Our drivers truly are what make our tours so unforgettable! We are so glad to hear Kimo provided such a fun experience. Mahalo for the 5 stars! Next time you're in Hawaii we hope to see you again!

We were so excited to visit Hawaii for the first time and I thought I was purchasing tickets for Pearl Harber but NO after spending $200.00 NOTHING. When speaking to them on the phone they stated we must ride their bus. With Covid 19 we didn’t want to take a chance on our health. We are now in a dispute with them to get our money back!
Toni we are so sorry to hear you suffered such a terrible miscommunication. We understand that some people are still weary about travel post pandemic. We hope you're able to work something out with the agent that booked your tour. Mahalo!

It was such an amazing experience. Our driver, Kimo, was magnificent! He had so many stories, so much knowledge of the island. He shared tips and places to eat. I tried them all and he was spot on! He kept us on schedule and was very helpful and entertaining. Very kind soul! The tour was worth every cent and more!! Don’t pass this up you will not regret it. lots to do. Every stop was fantastic. Enjoyed the history, the gift shops, the scenery and best of all the ambiance. The lunch at Fumi’s was delicious!! Mahalo!
Thank you so much for your incredible review. Its guests like you that make it worth the while! Thank you for acknowledging the talent and hard work of our fantastic drivers. Mahalo!
