Our driver was excellent! Would love to have had a little more detail as to what to expect upon arrival at the Pearl Harbor memorial (extra pd. options, free options, boat ride, no stops on bus ride,more to see (Missouri), etc). Nice bus!

It was very good. Pickup was on time and price was good. Although a large bus it was not full which made it comfortable. The Arizona Memorial was moving and it is a beautiful tribute for our fallen heroes. City tour was just a drive-through but was advertised as such so was fine.
Ken was great 👍 He really knew what he was talking about a d connected well with his guests. We had additional questions after the tour (unrelated to the tour) that he gladly provided information and insight to. Highly recommend Ken!
This tour was great, laid back and didn't feel rushed at all. Our guide, Chauncey, was wonderful. He made us feel welcome and comfortable with his stories and fun banter. His knowledge of each stop and the things around the city we passed was valuable. The bus was spacious, had air, storage and charging ports so it was a nice ride. We loved visiting Pearl Harbor, Punchbowl Cemetery, the Royal Palace, the Kings Statue. Good tour!
We had 3 days of tours with Ken. Dole Plantation/Polynesian Cultural Center, Pearl Harbor & Downtown Tour and Scenic South Shore/Kualoa Ranch Experience. Ken was an excellent guide with a lot of good information, he is very knowledgeable about the history here. He was also funny with a few jokes. He kept us updated on our cruise delay because of Hurricane Nolo which was much appreciated. I’m so happy we were on his bus.
We had Ken as our tour guide and he made the experience very enjoyable and he was knowledgeable
Our tour guide Wes provided us with a water bottle prior to our tour of Pearl Harbor. He was funny and very knowledgeable! Would request him again!
Kimoke was. Great! Will share trip
Wow! Our guide/driver was amazing. His name is Kimoke'o. His sense of humor and knowledge of this beautiful state of Hawaii should be an example for all guides. He had a way of making you WANT to be part of his tour. He has such a sense of ohana and you had no choice but feel you belonged; he was so amazing. He taught me so much about Hawaii and the origin of her people. I can tell he's is proud of who he is, and he represents extremely well. Thank you for allowing me and my husband to celebrate our 30th with you.
What a fantastic Pearl Harbor tour! Our guide was absolutely fabulous—extremely knowledgeable, informative, and incredibly funny. He brought the history to life while keeping us entertained throughout the entire experience. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and enjoyed every minute of the tour. A truly memorable experience and one I would highly recommend!
Love the tour very knowledgeable. It so interesting.
Great experience would definitely do it again
He was very informative and did a fantastic job of explaining everything. He kept it interactive with jokes but was able to teach me and my family a whole bunch of new stuff. I totally recommend doing this trip, and make sure you get Kimoke’o as your guide. You won’t regret it.
Kimoke’o was excellent. Great visuals along with storytelling.
Awesome! Frank was a terrific driver and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure we had everything we needed to get back to the bus on time. I knew a lot about Pearl Harbor but Frank filled in details. We had ample time at the Memorial to see everything and shop
Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor and Honolulu City Highlights Tour. Our tour guide Leiula was absolutely the best. A lot of knowledge and information. Definitely do this tour.

This was an absolute amazing experience!!!!!
Spent two days prior to embarking on Pride of America touring Oahu with Polynesian Adventure Tours. Our guide, Ernal was in a word ,AMAZING! He was funny, informative and an absolute professional. When he says that if you are on his tour, you are part of his 'Ohana (family) he means it!!! We had such a great time with Ernal learning about the best parts of Oahu. He even teaches you how to say several words and phrases in Hawaiian. If you are looking to book a tour of Oahu, seek out Polynesian Adventure Tours and ask for Ernal. You will not be disappointed!!

Kimokeo was absolutely incredible best tour guide I’ve probably ever had!

Our NCL tour director/bus driver Wes did an excellent job narrating points of interest as we traveled along each of the 3 days of our NCL land tour. He was always on time and very polite. He spoke in a clear and concise tone. He was a careful, good driver. Always jolly. Very enjoyable and informative 3 days.
Wonderful tour. Was awesome and our driver was awesome.
Guide was excellent. Trip very interesting & humbling.
This tour was absolutely fantastic! Our tour guide Ken was funny and knowledgeable, and he made our adventure special. I would highly recommend this tour, and I would suggest requesting Ken!!
Excellent tour with interesting commentary throughout the driven part by our host/driver, Chelsie. A destination well worth visiting due to its museum exhibits and a well produced film, although the central core of it, being the boat trip across to the USS Arizona memorial sat directly above its wreck, was possibly the least interesting part of the tour.
The trip was great it was very informative. Our driver/tour guide MO was very knowledgeable and helpful. She took good care of us.
Mo was awesome and very knowledgeable. The one complain I have was no time or stop at Waikiki Beach and it's history. No picture time to this such important part of Waikiki culture.
K Aloha was a wonderful guide! For a first time visitor I would definitely recommend her and the experience!
On time great driver and perfect time to go at 10:30 Great knowledgeable driver who pointed out everything and made the trip pleasurable. Snacks and water hit the spot,
Very nice bus and great tour driver. Good at time and scheduling.
Lee was excellent. He is native to Hawaii and had lots of interesting information. He was very knowledgeable about all of the sights. Especially Pearl Harbor. We had plenty of time to visit the memorial and pay respects to those who lost their lives defending our freedom. Thank you Polynesian Tours!!
Was the perfect amount of time . Our bus driver Frank was a great driver and narrator. He was a wealth of information.
Great tour and knowledgeable guide! We learned a lot and enjoyed it.
Kenneth was great and really added to the Pearl Harbor experience. His knowledge about Honolulu, botany , military history and life in Hawaii was fun and interesting. The buses were extremely comfortable and the late afternoon snack and water was a nice relief.
Chelsie did a fantastic job. Tons of information made the tour great. She was a very cheerful driver. We loved it
We had a wonderful experience here in Hawaii (the W is pronounced with a V)
Awesome trip. The bus driver of bus 168 was amazing. Great trip.
Our tour guide was Kimoke’o and he was most of all a safe driver yet funny and informative. Highly recommended. This was with Polynesian Adventure.
