So honored to visit Pearl Harbour on America’s 250th anniversary. All respect to those that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our safety and freedom. Had the privilege to see Elindra Avila " Rosie the Riveter". Stand on the decks of the USS Arizona and USS Missouri "Mighty Mo" battleships as well as the USS Bowfin submarine. Tour guide William Chye was amazing and made this an enlightening experience.

Highly recommend the full...

Jennifer_T, Apr 2026
Highly recommend the full package. I would suggest Viator to include pick up time in description. Tour starts at 7 and that is not the pick up time.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Mahalo for your recommendation and for sharing your feedback with us! We’re so glad you enjoyed the full package, and we truly appreciate your suggestion regarding clearer pickup time details. That’s very helpful, and we’ll be sure to pass it along for improvement. Thank you again for choosing Aloha Sunshine Tours—we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Awesome time

Phillip_B, Apr 2026
Had a great time....Mahalo with Aloha sunshine was our tour guide and he was funny/informative and very knowledgeable.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Jennifer_C, Mar 2026
Wil was a phenomenal tour guide. The tour was wonderful and gave a better understanding of the events that day. Don’t think it would have been as fun and educational without Wil. Highly recommend Aloha Sunshine Tours and suggest you ask for Wil!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo nui loa for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that Wil made your tour both fun and educational 🤙 It’s wonderful that his guidance enhanced your understanding of the events of the day.

Great Experience

Paul_S, Mar 2026
The tour was very educational and there was plenty of time to explore points of interest on your own. Slight miscommunication as to pickup time and location.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the educational tour and had time to explore at your own pace 🤙 We also appreciate you pointing out the pickup miscommunication—we’ll work on improving that. Hope to welcome you again soon! 🌈

Guide was communicative and informative

Melissa_C, Mar 2026
First I got a text letting me know they were running about 10 minutes late which I really appreciated. That didn’t put us behind on anything. Bring a clear bag for items you bring and may purchase and wear comfortable shoes especially if you are doing the all day tour. It says a time slot per tour and me and my husband are pretty quick and like to move fast but it did indeed take the whole day. Our tour guide was very informative about the city and couture. Our guide also stopped so we could get the infamous Leonard’s Malasadas.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

😊 Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you appreciated the update about the slight delay and that everything still ran smoothly throughout your day. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the full tour and found your guide informative about the city and culture. And of course, we love that you got to try Leonard’s malasadas—such a local favorite! 🍩🌴 We truly appreciate you traveling with Aloha Sunshine Tours and hope to see you again soon!

Pearl Harbour tour was...

Joseph_B, Mar 2026
Pearl Harbour tour was very accommodating and informative. Our guide Will, was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbour and the local history. Will injected humor into his dialog which helped make the day pass quickly. The Tour we took was a full day. We got picked up at 6 a.m. and didn't get back until 5 p.m.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Mahalo for your kind review! We’re so happy you enjoyed your Pearl Harbor tour and that Will’s knowledge and humor made the day memorable. We truly appreciate you spending your full day with us and hope to see you again soon!

Pearl Harbor

Give yourself plenty of time. Bring water. Use a good tour company. There is so much to experience at Pearl Harbor. See it all. Do all the sites and museums.

Aloha sunshine not worth it

Christa_W, Mar 2026
Was supposed to pick up at hotel but told 24 hours before that we had to meet 1/2 mile away at different hotel for pick up and drop off. Was told pick up at 608am. Had to call when still hadn't arrived at 640am. Finally got picked up at 647am. Bus had very little air flow and felt like it lurched during entire drive. Driver/tour guide was not very friendly and mono tone. Overall not worth the price. Just make ticket reservations yourself and take an Uber or the local bus.

Great day trip to Pearl Harbour

Mark_B, Feb 2026
We had a great day, could have spent more time to be honest. Our guide and bus driver Maya from Aloha Sunshine Tours made it even better with advice on what to see where, as well as by sharing lots of additional information.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo nui loa for your kind words! We’re so glad Maya made your day even better with her helpful advice and extra insights 🤙 We understand wanting more time—there’s so much to see on the island! We hope to welcome you back to Hawaiʻi for another unforgettable adventure soon! 🌈

Poorly Operating Tour Company behind this activity

Robert_B, Feb 2026
Aloha Hawaii Tour Company delivered a bad experience from a schedule perspective. The online description said our Pearl Harbor tour would start at 7 am with a pickup at our hotel. The night before, we received a text message saying we had to be ready to go at 6 am. I contacted the tour operator at that time, and they said that there was nothing they could do about the scheduling change. They said they had to adjust the schedule to accommodate their day's operations. Which effectively told us, "Too bad for you." Our hotel didn't begin to serve breakfast until 6:30 am, so we didn't have anything to eat before leaving. Then we arrived at Pearl Harbor before it was even open. We had to stand around outside the gate for 15 to 20 minutes. So up early, leave early, and then get there before we could even get in. That is not how a professional operation should run. I suggest you find another tour operated by a different company.

Pearl Harbor was great!...

Lorraine_C, Feb 2026
Pearl Harbor was great! The docents were knowledgeable and kind. Our tour guide was crazy. Honking and swearing at other drivers. Very unprofessional.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Aloha 🌺 Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found Pearl Harbor to be a meaningful experience and that the docents were knowledgeable and kind. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with the tour guide’s behavior. That is not the level of professionalism or aloha spirit we expect from our team, and we take this seriously. Your comments will be addressed internally so we can ensure a safer, more respectful experience for all our guests moving forward. Mahalo for bringing this to our attention, and we sincerely hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

Short notice cancellation

Dave_W, Jan 2026
I booked tour in December and we get a call Ahola Sunshine the tour operator at 6pm the day before saying they had not enough people to complete tour and a refund would coming in 3-7 days. Of course I was unable to to find another tour operator. Very disappointed!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha, Mahalo for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the last-minute cancellation. We understand how frustrating it is to have your plans changed on such short notice, especially during a busy travel period. The tour requires a minimum number of guests to operate safely, and we regret that we could not proceed as scheduled. Your refund is being processed and should arrive within 3–7 business days. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll give us another chance in the future to provide a seamless and memorable Hawaiʻi experience. 🌺

Transport and tickets, not really a “tour”

Peter_B, Jan 2026
The bus picks you up, very friendly, drops you at the visitor center with tickets already prepaid then a quick tour of downtown and back to hotel. All of pearl is self paced and I’m not sure what the cost of an uber plus individual tix would be but we went in January and there were no lines. Might have been much cheaper going with uber but I honestly can’t complain about the amazing experience my son and I had at Pearl Harbor. Definitely go to air museum and Missouri, not just the Arizona memorial. You can’t fully appreciate Pearl without the other sites. Simply amazing, but again, check pricing separately because the tour itself isn’t really a tour it’s transportation and prepaid tix. Bus driver was awesome though and very knowledgeable

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo nui loa for sharing your experience! We’re so happy you and your son had an amazing day at Pearl Harbor 🤙 It’s wonderful to hear our driver made the trip enjoyable and shared knowledge along the way. Thank you for highlighting the other sites like the Air Museum and USS Missouri—they really complete the experience. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback and hope to welcome you back for more memorable adventures in Hawaiʻi! 🌈

Give yourself lots of...

Lori_M, Jan 2026
Give yourself lots of time. It's so well done and there is so much history that it takes a long time to see it all. Our driver was Cousin Mia and he was AMAZING! He had so much knowledge and was great at getting everyone involved in the ride to and from! He even took us on a little side trip to see the Palace as we drove by.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo for sharing your wonderful experience. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the full tour and took in all the rich history at your own pace. Cousin Mia will be so happy to know his knowledge and extra touches, like the Palace side trip, made your day special! Thank you for choosing Aloha Sunshine Tours — we hope to see you on another adventure soon! ☀️🚐

Memorial was Amazing, Transportation was not!!

Nicholas_B, Jan 2026
Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona were amazing but… Our driver arrived late at our prescheduled pick up spot. We were the first pick up. When we were dropped off at the memorial we were told to meet back at the bus at 2:30 pm. My family and I arrived at the pick up spot at the memorial earlier than 2:30. We shortly realized no one else from our group was around. We called our driver. When the driver answered, he confirmed he left us. We were told they would call us back. We waited 30 minutes with no call and ended up paying an Uber to get us back to the hotel. We finally received a call back one hour after they told us they had left us there. We missed the other portion of our tour. We had to pay for our own Uber. This company said they would reimburse me for the U er ride but a decision for a refund for the portion we missed would have to go to management. The company has yet to reimburse me for the cost of my Uber or refund any cost for this tour I paid for at full price. If you DONT want: to be picked up late, left at the memorial, and have to pay for an Uber after paying full price with no reimbursement for either, find another tour company.

Great all day excursion.

Anthony_P, Jan 2026
Great experience. Was a full day, but not exhausting. Great driver & guide. Outstanding if you’re a history buff or fascinated with military ships & planes. Family really enjoyed it.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha! 🌺 Mahalo nui loa for your kind review! We’re so happy your family enjoyed the full day and that it was both informative and comfortable 🤙 Perfect for history and military enthusiasts! Hope to see you again—aloha! 🌈

Exactly as offered

Barbara_F, Jan 2026
We were picked up around the time they told us. Very good communication. Tickets to the boat and all other attractions were included. He gave us instructions on whwre to go and when. We followed his instructions and we seen everything before crowds. It couldn't have been more perfect. We stopped thru the city for more things to see and were told about it all thru the drive. The bus was older and did seem to struggle a bit but A/C worked, it was not crowded and could hear the tour guide well.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for the great feedback! We’re glad to hear the communication, pickup, and organization made the day smooth and that you were able to enjoy each stop before the crowds. It’s also great to know you enjoyed learning about the city along the way. We appreciate your honest notes and hope to welcome you again soon!

Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy you enjoyed all the attractions and had such a fantastic tour. Jorge will be thrilled to hear your kind words, hope to see you again soon!

It caused unnecessary...

Samuel_T, Jan 2026
It caused unnecessary stress. The pick up required us to walk to an unknown location. And the pick up was delayed so long that we concerned that something had gone wrong.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha, Mahalo nui loa for your feedback. We’re very sorry for the stress caused by the delayed and unclear pick-up. We understand how frustrating it can be to wait and not know the location, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Your feedback is important, and we will use it to improve communication and pick-up procedures for a smoother experience in the future. 🌺we hope you might give us another chance in the future to provide a more immersive and meaningful Maui experience. 🌺🤙

Not a guided tour – misleading and poor value for money

namjin_k, Jan 2026
This was NOT a guided tour, despite being advertised as a complete and guided Pearl Harbor experience. The driver picked us up 30 minutes late in a very old, dirty, and poorly maintained vehicle, which already set a bad tone for the day. The bus felt worn out and far from what you would expect from a “premium” tour. He dropped us at Pearl Harbor, gave a few basic instructions, and told us to be back at 2:30 pm. From that point on, we were completely on our own — no guide, no explanations, no historical context, and no assistance inside the memorial. While driving, the driver did say a few things, but it felt more like a script or recording than an actual guide. There was no interaction and no opportunity to ask questions. On the way back, he briefly drove through downtown Honolulu and allowed a 15-minute stop, but stayed seated in the driver’s seat and provided no guidance or explanation. The tickets provided were standard public tickets, the same anyone can buy directly. We even had to wait in the standby line for the USS Arizona, just like visitors without reservations. In short, this tour offers nothing more than transportation in poor condition and regular tickets, at a much higher price. Misleading, poor value for money, and not recommended.

Glorified taxi service that’s expensive

Hayley_K, Jan 2026
This “tour” is a money grab - it’s a glorified taxi service. I had concerns when all Communication was via the app, and suddenly it changed to text msg saying the time had changed for pick up. It hadn’t but for some reason I had to change communication methods to one that cost me money. The driver was then 20 mins late - when i msgd thru the app they told me he was collecting other passengers - but he turned up with an empty bus and a coffee. No apology offered. We also were told we couldn’t be picked up at the hotel we were staying at despite it being listed and instead had to walk to another one. We assumed this was because a bigger group were staying there but we were the only ones picked up - after the bus drive past our hotel. We then collected the other passengers. Upon getting to pearl harbour we found out that we didn’t have a booking for the Arizona - ticket included according to the booking, but we had to register and hang about waiting for a standby spot a the driver gave very poor instructions and when I asked questions he insulted me - a blind passenger who was trying to understand how we could pay do much and not have a booking, when I looked this up online, it turns outs it’s free. There is definitely a more cost and time efficient way of doing pearl harbour rather than doing this tour. There is also a sign in the bus about how staff only get paid by tips and they expect 15-20% of the tour price (haven’t yet determined u wax even in a tour as PH was self guided, but if staff only get paid by tips, I booked with the wrong company - this is not the ethical standards I believe in. Would highly recommend avoiding this company - they are making a fortune out of a glorified taxi service,

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha Hayley, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few important points for future guests. All Pearl Harbor tour companies operate under the same regulations set by the National Park Service, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Coast Guard. For security and preservation reasons, no private tour company is permitted to place their tour guides on the USS Arizona Memorial. The Memorial experience is narrated exclusively by the National Park Service, and this applies equally to every operator. Our guided service includes professional narration during transport to Pearl Harbor, escorted entry into the park, orientation and historical context on-site, and guidance to the appropriate queues. While the Memorial itself is self-guided by federal regulation, our role is to ensure guests are informed, prepared, and properly directed throughout the experience. Regarding Arizona Memorial tickets: while the Memorial is free, tickets are limited and released by the National Park Service, making them difficult to secure—especially during peak travel seasons. Our company actively purchases these tickets on behalf of guests whenever available. We regret that you were unable to enter at your scheduled time and understand how disappointing that can be. We take all feedback seriously, including concerns about communication, accessibility, and staff professionalism. Any report of discourteous behavior or lack of assistance—especially toward a guest with a disability—is not reflective of our standards and will be reviewed internally. Our team members are compensated in accordance with Hawaii labor laws, and gratuities are always optional. Any signage referencing tipping is informational only and not a requirement. Pearl Harbor is a powerful and meaningful site, and our goal is to help guests experience it respectfully, accurately, and smoothly. We regret that this was not your experience and appreciate your feedback as we continue to improve. Mahalo, Yasser Shalabi

Did not know till arrived...

Peiling_H, Jan 2026
Did not know till arrived Pearl Harbor that tour guide was not allowed inside to lead the group. This was not mentioned on the Viator website, and you could literally buy the same package (Passport to the Pearl Harbor) online at $89.99 if you have your own transportation. Tour guide Jorge provided lots of detail like where to go or which direction at the parking lot, but it is hard to remember all. It will be great if the company could provide a direction sheet so we can bring with us inside Pearl Harbor. As a first timer to Pearl Harbor, I completely forgot what he said once I entered into the entrance. Tks

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Aloha, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and constructive feedback. We’re glad to hear that Jorge provided helpful orientation and historical context, and we appreciate your thoughtful suggestions. We understand how surprising it can be for first-time visitors to learn upon arrival that tour guides are not permitted to accompany guests inside Pearl Harbor or onto the USS Arizona Memorial. This restriction is mandated by the National Park Service and U.S. Navy and applies to all tour companies operating at Pearl Harbor. While the Memorial and museums are self-guided, our role is to provide narration during transport, escort guests into the park, and give clear instructions and context prior to entry. You also raised an excellent point about written directions. We agree that having a reference sheet inside the park would be helpful, especially for first-time visitors, and this is valuable feedback we will be reviewing with our team as we continue to improve the guest experience. Regarding pricing, many guests choose our tour for the added convenience of round-trip transportation from Waikiki, ticket assistance, guided orientation, and historical narration—all designed to make the visit as smooth and informative as possible. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing to visit Pearl Harbor with us. We truly appreciate it and hope you found the experience meaningful. Mahalo,

Do it all!

Holly_B, Jan 2026
Do it all!! Wonderful experience. Didn't care for the fact that we had bought "tickets" but had to stand in standby line. You can easily just purchase your tickets yourself but the transportation was nice other than the driver's sharing of her political viewpoints multiple times.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and found the transportation convenient. We appreciate your comments regarding the ticketing process and the driver’s commentary, and we’ll be addressing these to improve future experiences. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
