Pearl Harbor, Dole Plantation, And Polynesian Center From Kona

Papa P. Was out tour guide. He was terrific going above and beyond expectations. Highly recommend!

Papa P was great. Really put together a great day!

Great tour. We flew in early this morning and Darcy met us at the easy to find airport meeting point to get the all day tour started. Darcy is a very informative and entertaining guide! We very much enjoyed visiting Pearl Harbor and learning about the history of that infamous day. We were very moved by visiting the USS Arizona Memorial. Darcy was able to point out lots of sights along the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center and Dole plantation including areas of famous movie scenes! I highly recommend this tour and especially Darcy!

Darcy was a fabulous guide. He took us to several unexpected places that were awesome. He was kind, informative and answered all our questions. I would recommend him to everyone.

We booked a tour and flew from the big island down. Papa P picked us up from the airport and it was great! We had so much fun and he was full of information! He really made it a wonderful trip, thank you Papa P!

Papa P was great! A very kind tour guide who actually knows local mythology and stories. Has connections and genuine friendships with locals and businesses. Great experience!

Papa P was the best guide and we were lucky to have him. He walked us through the PCC and gave tons of information about Pearl Harbor. The last tour we took with another company the guide never left the bus so this was an amazing experience. If you are going to book with Sunshine Tours ask for Papa P as your tour guide

Darcy was amazing!! He gave us so much information about Hawaii and was a wonderful tour guide

I wish we had done this from the very first day—our drive was incredible. Summer was not only super friendly and funny but also incredibly knowledgeable, making the experience even more memorable.

The activities were great. The time spent was not very well adjusted. The itinerary stated 2 hours at Pearl harbor with an hour at the memorial. We had 2 hours total. More time was needed. We expected an hour at the Dole plantation we only got 30 minutes. Although that was explained after it would have been better to have known about that in the beginning. We did get 3 hours at PCC which was expected. We paid extra for the fuel increase over what was stated and felt like we were shorted on time. Our guide Summer was fantastic. She gave us very insightful information. She was also jovial and fun. She made the tour so much fun.

We had such a great experience this summer! She was an amazing guide and made the tour so enjoyable from start to finish. You can truly tell how much she knows about Hawaii, its history, and culture. She made everything feel real and meaningful, not just like a regular tour. Her energy, stories, and knowledge made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Poppa P was great!!!!! He was the best tour guide!!! He explained everything in great detail!!!! If you decide to take a tour when you visit Hawaii, I recommend Aloha Sunshine Tours!!!!!

It was very interesting! Summer was very informative and entertaining.

Summer was an awesome and amazing tour guide! She was helpful and very informative! The tour was wonderful.

Summer was great. She shared a wealth of information about the history of Hawaii, and other fun facts about our stops. Her suggested itinerary for the PCC was spot on. She is a safe driver too.

This was an awesome tour . We learned so much . Summer was so informative with her historical history . She was funny and energetic . She was also compassionate to us after we experienced incessant rain . I would highly recommend this tour . Thanks Summer ❤️

Summer was amazing! She took the time to share her story and knowledge of the area in the most fun ways.

Summer is the absolute best! Fun, outgoing, so warm and sweet. I couldn’t recommend her and the tour enough ❤️ A fun and family vibe.

Palo was great!! We had a great time at the Polynesian center and Peal Harbor memorial. He guided us around the island and told us lots of fun stories and sang songs!

Fantastic time Tour guide was very knowledgeable, fun and all around great guy! We had 8 in our group. He even played guitar and sang for us.

This was the best tour hands down , you learn so much and more if you ASK FOR PAPA P he will make the best out of your experience & tour a must go too!!

Our tour guide was just fantastic. We enjoyed every place we went too. He was so professional and so knowledgeable. Best tour ever.

It was amazing. Our tour guide Papa P went above and beyond for all of us. He called people when they were late for the departure time. Papa P made sure we had everything we needed and told us some really great stories. I highly recommend Papa P and Aloha Sunshine Tour.

Summer is a real jewel. This was the best tour I have ever been on!!! Summer was energetic, extremely knowledgeable, and made the time so much fun and entertaining. Summer is a great asset and would be a great mentor to your tour staff. Mahalo!!!!

Summer was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable, funny, and kind. We got a good look and overview of Oahu through our stops and Summer’s storytelling. I only wish we had more time at Pearl Harbor as it felt rushed and we were unable to see much of the museum.

Papa P was very informative and knowledgeable about all the locations we were visiting that day! Very helpful and friendly especially with being visually impaired and physical impaired with my walker get on and off the bus! Took us to a yummy food truck spot where the food was very delicious! Reasonable priced for everything we did that day! Enjoyed all the views of the different beaches and mountains. Papa P had a story for all the best locations! Best tour guide experiences ever!

Amazing tour and Sunmer was a phenomenal tour guide with a wide wealth of knowledge. From start to finish we learned so much and had an incredible time.

Summer was amazing. Funny, knowledgeable. We had a great time!!! Book for an amazing experience. Summer is the best for sure.

Summer was a wonderful tour guide! Kept us on time for every stop and is a wealth of knowledge. Thank you Summer for a fun day!!

Papa P was the absolute best! He took us to some extra spots not listed on the tour. He provided snacks, shared some fun stories & finished off by serenading us all with some beautiful music. We had a beautiful day!

Our tour guide was great named Johnny he was very knowledgeable and made our day fun for the whole family. Highly recommend

PAPPA P WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! This tour was the best thing we did on our entire trip!! I highly recommend it! Absolutely incredible!!

We enjoyed the time with Summer. We were late but we made it through. Arizona Pearl Harbor was the best place to go and I am glad that I booked this tour.

Summer was an amazing tour guide. The tour was well paced. She gave us tips along the way for each stop which made the tour more enjoyable

Summer Gibson was delightful.. full of great knowledge and made our tour fun. Very accommodating with snacks and drinks. Definitely an asset to your company..

Our tour guide arrived late to pick us up, which meant we didn't have enough time to see all of Pearl Harbor and had limited time at the Dole Plantation. We did not receive any notification that the guide would be late. When I called to find out where they were, I was told that another guest had been late for their pickup. That guest was taken directly to Pearl Harbor before we were picked up, meaning they got to see the full site while our experience was limited. I have reached out to Aloha Sunshine tours to discuss our disappointment, lack of notification, and lack of apology or compensation. They have not responded. I will not book another tour with Aloha Sunshine Tours.

Leena was an amazing tour guide. She was so helpful and polite. She gave us so much information about wiki and the island. I would recommend her for any tour. We all learned a lot from her.

Cuzn Johnny was a great tour guide giving many fun facts and trivia games along the way #WINNER Wouldn’t recommend anyone else to take you around Hawaii! This man deserves to win a holiday

Papa P was our tour guide. He was excellent,lots of knowledge about Hawaii. Loved his vibe and energy. Would def recommend taking this tout. He kept us hydrated and fed. Mahalo

Gave us the best tour of our lives 🥹❤️ great experience and learnt so much from it x Mahalo leena ❤️ for the best experience xx

Our tour guide, Papa P, truly went above and beyond — his warm personality, thoughtful snacks, captivating stories, and deep knowledge of the area brought every moment to life. He made sure we were comfortable, engaged, and always entertained. His passion for the culture and history made the experience not just a tour, but a lasting memory we’ll cherish.

Leena was incredible. We had an amazing day and saw so much more than if we had tried on our own. Leena was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the island, culture, and vegetation.

Anthony was the best tour guide! He was informative and had a great sense of humor. He made the day extra special by adding a few stops along the way. The day couldn’t have been better. I highly recommend this tour with Anthony!

Thank you!, very knowledgeable and engaging- he really cares about sharing Hawaii’s rich history and culture with visitors that can therefore take home a richly rewarding memory.

Wonderful Experience, Cousin/ Tour Guide Johnny was amazing and very entertaining. Highly recommend tour, you get to see alot and it is an all day tour so wear comfy shoes!

Our driver/tour guide was Summer. Such a wonderful person. Truly made our experience fun, memorable, relaxing and really cared about each of us on her bus. Made sure we all were no schedule with a sparkling personality. Best of luck to Summer ☀️

Schneider Ceaser was very informative courteous and prompt. He made sure we were comfortable. I would recommend this tour to everyone

Viator did a nice job setting things up. The Southwest flight was enjoyable, however our gate changed on our return and we were not notified. The tour was very nice. The places we went were great. Our tour guide was late in picking us up at the airport, so our time felt rushed at all our stops. All in all, it was a good day!

We were told to meet at 6:20am at a different hotel to pick us up than the one we were staying at. The shuttle came and we went to get on and our names were not on the list to be picked up even though it was through the same touring company. I called and was told that the shuttle was on the way and that they were running late. The other driver from the first shuttle stated that we may be picked up on the other side of the hotel so when I called I asked where we were supposed to meet the driver and was told we would be picked up at the same area the first driver picked up the other couple up at. We waited and saw our driver drive by and go to the other side of the hotel, luckily it wasn’t too far away. The tour guides were amazing and knowledgable giving lots of information and we were able to learn a lot. My only issue was the bus was almost full and we were in the back of the shuttle where the air conditioning was not cooling us down and it was incredibly uncomfortable for most of the tour. I appreciated the additional stops we took to places that were not listed on the tour description. I wasn’t expecting to be taken somewhere to buy lunch because I was under the impression lunch would be provided at the Polynesian Cultural Center. By the time we got to the Polynesian Cultural Center we waited in the hot shuttle for the tickets to be given to us and when we finally got the tickets and headed towards the center we were so hot and uncomfortable we ended up not even going and opted to go to an air conditioned restaurant in the shopping center to cool down, relax and do a little shopping in the area. I am thankful we were able to see Pearl Harbor but the time allotted was a bit too long and there wasn’t enough time at the Dole plantation to really see anything. Both of those experiences I have come to find out are free and what we really were paying for was the Polynesian Culture Center which we didn’t even go to along with the transportation which was not comfortable and left us thinking we should have just ubered to the locations.
