People should know how...

Barbara_H, Dec 2025
People should know how much time they want to spend at Pearl Harbor. For us it was perfect timing. Our tour guide Handsome/Jacob, can’t remember his 200 character full name!

Better then a brochure!

Susan_N, Sep 2025
Billy is very informative and personable. He is a retired park ranger. You can't get better information other then reading a brochure. But who wants to do that when Billy will drive you straight to the destinations and share stories of the site. A fantastic memory for the ending of our vacation.

Since we had a rainy and cloudy day, the views were not spectacular as they normally would be, Noelini gave us wonderful information about the area, history and culture. She was an engaging and enjoyable hostess. A drive to Punchbowl was an interesting and meaningful bonus.

Outstanding

Vince_S, Jan 2025
Tour guide Jacob a local was extremely knowledgeable & awesome. Saw a ton & several things off the beaten path.

Great day with lots of personalized touches

Phil_M, Aug 2024
We had a great time. We liked the personalized attention, the ability to cater our tour to what we wanted to see and learn things we would have never experienced in a larger tour. Highly recommend and well worth the price!!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Incredible Pearl Harbor and East Side of Island Tour

Michael_M, Jun 2024
Great knowledge and an enjoyable day!! Noelani was an excellent guide and knew how to show us so many parts of the island. Her knowledge of the history was incredible and I would book this again in a minute. Pearl Harbor, like many national monument tours is self guided but you're equipped for success and it is a somber but very enjoyable and moving time. Thanks for the amazing day!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Aloha Michael, Thanks for the great review! So happy you had an amazing time. Thank you again for booking with us and should you ever return to Hawaii, we would be more than happy to serve as your guide! With aloha, PHV

EXCELLENT PRIVATE TOUR

Tim_S, Apr 2024
EXCELLENT PRIVATE TOUR - Richard Kiessling was our driver/tour guide for our Pearl Harbor and scenic Oahu private tour supplied by Personalized Hawaii Tours. Our Pearl Harbor tour was excellent from start to finish with Richard supplying an audio recording whilst driving to the Pearl Harbor site giving us information and a very good insight of all we were about to see. Richard answered all of questions and directed us to all the places we had to visit within Pearl Harbor. After this we spent the rest of day visiting photo spots of landmarks and viewing points along the east and west coasts of the island. He also took us to a lovely restaurant for lunch. Throughly interesting and enjoyable day.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Aloha Tim, thank you for your glowing review!! We appreciate it very much. Our Pearl Harbor Scenic Oahu Tour is a great choice to experience some of the best that Oahu has to offer. We are delighted that you chose us and that you had a great time with Rich. With aloha, PHV

Girls trip for our beautiful mom. Celebrate life while you can:)

Theresa_B, Aug 2023
Girls trip to Hawaii. Booked a private Pearl Harbor island tour. We thought we knew what we wanted. Yolanda enhanced that experience. She took photos and created scrapbook pictures for us. Taught us so much about Hawaii and where to go on the island on our own. Expensive—yes. Worth it—absolutely. We would do this 100% again. Visiting Hawaii? Do it right the first time. Splurge a little and we promise you won’t be disappointed! So so worth it! Don’t be wishing you should have. Do it!!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Aloha Theresa. So glad you all had a great time on your private tour. We are very happy to have been a part of your special trip. Your tour guide had a lot of fun as well being with you all! With aloha, PHV

A Full Day

WILLIAM_F, Apr 2022
Our guide Antonio was actually early. Our tour was very comprehensive. Our only problem was that, at times, it was difficult to understand the guide. He was very nice and would repeat himself when asked, but between his accent and mask there was some difficulty. Also some additional picture taking spots along the North Shore would have been nice. The overall experience was very positive. Our stops at coffee plantation, Dole, shaved ice and macadamia nuts really added to the experience.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Aloha, thank you for the excellent review. We're happy that you enjoyed your experience at both Pearl Harbor and throughout our beautiful island. We hope to see you again should you return to Oahu! With warm aloha, PHT

Worth the money. Save enough time to read and stroll

Robin_B, Apr 2021
Was exactly as we thought it would be. I love that the sea life has made a home on all the existing structures, Living on for our brave men who lost their lives. I especially loved touring the sub. It’s kept up impeccably (bowfin)

Pearl Harbor tour

Ken_B, Jan 2020
Yolanda was right on time picking us up. She was very informative and personable. I’d highly recommend Yolanda for your next tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Thank you Ken! Hope to see you and your beautiful family again! With warm aloha, Yolanda

Yolanda, excellent guide in Spanish

Fatima_C, May 2025
We did the private tour in Spanish with Yolanda. Excellent professional with deep knowledge of Hawaiian history and specifically Oa’hu. We visited the Pearl Harbor Memorial and the southeast coast of the island. Experience we won't forget. Mahalo!
