Incredible! - Kimokéo! Best. Tour. Guide. EVER!!! The Polynesian Cultural Center and Pearl Harbor are must do's! Our tour guide, Kimokéo, was the best we've ever had! His heart and passion for his home island was evident! He taught us so much about the history and traditions of the hawaiian culture, mixed with humor. He'll have you laughing for sure!

Great tour! - Ko’a was the best tour conductor! Ko’a knows all the relevant facts and makes Hawaii’s history come alive. Too bad the tour bus microphone died right before we go into Pearl Harbor - we missed out.

Great tour. Highly recommend. - We had an excellent bus driver / tour guide. Ha’o is a native Hawaiian and was full of knowledge. He was thorough and friendly and a great driver. We’ve taken similar tours previously but really enjoyed this one. Visiting Pearl Harbor is something everyone should do. Remember they don’t allow bags unless they’re clear. There are limited options for food and drink so keep that in mind.
