Highlights
- Pearl Harbor National Memorial - We begin at historic Pearl Harbor where you will experience firsthand the earth-shattering events that catapulted the U.S. into World War II. Join us at the USS Arizona Memorial, a deeply moving and emotional experience where you will learn about the 1,177 seamen who perished when their battleship was sunk during the December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. You’ll witness the attack in a 23-minute documentary and then cross the harbor to the Memorial in a Navy vessel. At the Memorial, pay your respects to the heroes whose names are etched in marble in the Shrine Room. Look into the water and note the oil droplets – “The Black Tears of the Arizona” – that continue to escape the sunken battleship and rise to the harbor surface. Back at Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, there will be time to visit the WWII museum exhibits and the bookshop.

Excellent Tour - Learning about the history of Hawaii at the Polynesian Culture Tour and that of the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.
The Dole Plantation was nice to buy pineapple products. Didn't learn about how they process them at this site.
Johnny Aloha was an outstanding guide! We learned a lot from him

Trip around O'ahu - Ricardo was outstanding
And the most patient man I have ever met
Pearl Harbor was sobering
Polynesian Cultural Center too much like a theme park
Need more time to actually see and learn about the Dole Plantation

DON'T DO IT - The entire trip was rushed. We waited for 20 minutes for a couple to show up in the morning and then another 48 minutes for another late couple at Pearl Harbor. We were rushed at all the other stops and could not enjoy the rest of the trip. Definitely would not do again. Plus the Bus Driver was complaining about everything about Hawaii and the President and how bad USA treats their stare.

Total Rip-Off - No time at Pearl Harbor to do anything but the Arizona and we had early tour time tickets, then another QUICK stop at the Dole Store also no time ride train or do the Maze. Then an unscheduled stop at the beach for quick photo (My hotel is on the beach so why??) Then early to Polynesian Cultural Center so bought lunch and was able to ride a boat and see 1 show then back on the bus. This was to be a 10/hr tour but most of it was on a bus going out of our way to the beach of all places Not sure why
Not a Very Good use of Our Time for the Money.
Find another Company then Viator!!!
