Great day out

Ruth_M, Oct 2025
We went to Pearl Harbour which was a very memorable & moving experience. The rest of the trip wasn’t quite the itinerary that we’d booked & we ended up visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center which was very enjoyable so no complaints from me! Leena was also a good guide!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad you found Pearl Harbor so moving and enjoyed your visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Leena will be happy to know you appreciated her guidance throughout the day!

In depth tour around the...

Barry_F, Oct 2025
In depth tour around the island. Guide had lots of history and information about the island and towns. We had a small group, so we took longer at some stops and skipped others.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Aloha! Mahalo for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed the in-depth tour and appreciated the flexibility of a small group to explore at your own pace.

Very low quality tour

IoanArcadie_B, Dec 2024
Was not respected the program of tour. We visit just 70% of objectivs. The guid was just driving without giving informations about places, history etc.... Very superficial!

Great Trip

ELIZABETH_W, Oct 2024
We enjoyed the whole trip except for the lunch. Would have preferred longer at the PCC and skipped the lunch part.

Jason_S, Aug 2024
Our tour guide ( Anthony ) was amazing. He was very informative and made the whole tour relaxing. Pearl Harbor was so moving. The whole tour was fun. I highly recommend it and if can request a guide, ask for Anthony.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Awesom Jason, Thanks for spending the day with Anthony on this tour!

Charlotte_H, Nov 2023
My original trip was changed. Not very happy because we missed the chance to see the island. Do not change your guests’ plan so easily

Interesting and insightful on the local culture and scenic views

KAREN_G, Oct 2023
We had a very good day with Anthony who tailored our trip to meet our wishes. He was knowledgeable on the local culture and took us to a number of beautiful sights on the Island. I would recommend him as we had an enjoyable day with an interesting person.

Highly recommend! Our tour guide/driver, Chris, was wonderful!

LeSuong_G, Jun 2023
My best friend and I went to Honolulu for the first time and booked this excursion to be able to check out touristy sites around Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. Chris was our driver/tour guide. He was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and a wealth of knowledge. He patiently answered all of our questions. We only had 2 other people on the excursion with us so he gave us options on which side of the island we wanted to visit and we stopped off at a lot of places along the way to take photos and enjoy the scenery. I would highly recommend booking this!

Mini circle the island tour and Pearl Harbor

Candace_E, Jan 2023
We enjoyed everything about the day. our guide Shannon was exceptional. The highlight was seeing Pearl Harbor.

Fabulous Tour and much more than just Pearl

James_L, Aug 2022
Fantastic trip! Pearl Harbor was somber and important. Then we did a fabulous tour of the North Shore of the Island. I highly recommend this tour and our guide. He gave us extra at every corner.

The Oahu Circle Island tour.

Sadie_C, May 2022
We actually took the circles island tour with the Pearl Harbor tour. R. Shannon our guy was very knowledgeable of the island. He was very pleasant. He served us well. I am looking forward to going back to the North Shore when the waves are higher and their are surfer.

Pas terrible

Christophe_S, Mar 2024
Le tour a été essentiellement un tour de bus (presque tout le temps dans les bouchons, peu d'arrêts intéressants, peu d'explications si on n'en demandait pas, etc.) De plus, il y avait avec nous de sgens de l'aéroport. Le chauffeur (on peut pas l'appeler guide car il a surtout conduit toute la journée) a dû les ramener pour 16H et donc a écourté notre tour De plus on est parti en retard le matin Le chauffeur a dû alors faire le tour dans l'autre sens ce qui a fait que nous étions tout le temps dans le traffic Peral harbor est vraiment quelconque.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Aloha, Merci d'avoir tourné avec nous et de votre opinion honnête. Nous utiliserons cette critique pour améliorer cette visite. Nous espérons que vous nous donnerez une chance à l'avenir. Honolulu est une ville plutôt charmante et oui, nous avons notre part de trafic. Nous essayons comme toujours de satisfaire toutes les demandes de nos clients mais encore une fois nous sommes tristes que vous n'ayez pas trouvé cette visite agréable. Mahalo
