The 10-minute ride across the harbor is calm and offers views of the surrounding military installations **Admission tickets to the attractions on your tour will be provided by your guide on the day of your tour**
The USS Arizona Memorial is a white, open-air structure that spans the remains of the sunken battleship. It's a solemn and quiet place, designed to allow visitors to reflect on the sacrifices made by the sailors and Marines who were lost during the attack Viewing the Wreckage: Inside the memorial you can look down into the water to see parts of the sunken battleship. The ship's outline is visible just below the surface, and oil droplets, often referred to as "The Tears of the Arizona," can still be seen rising to the surface Remembrance Wall: At the far end of the memorial is a wall inscribed with the names of the 1,177 crew members who lost their lives aboard the USS Arizona. This wall serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war
Take in Hawaii’s natural beauty on Oahu's scenic drive along the island’s northeast (Windward) coastline and view majestic mountains, lush vegetation, and beautiful coastal scenery.
Tropical Farms is a small farm tucked away in the windward (east) coast of Oahu, between an ancient fish pond and the Ko’olau Mountain Range.

Kahuku Land Farms stand is where the north shore locals go for locally sourced pineapple, coconut, sugarcane, mango and so much more. It is also home to the best banana lumpia, banana bread, and macadamia nut banana bread on the North Shore if not the entire island.
The North Shore of Oahu offers a scenic and memorable experience, filled with natural beauty, iconic surf spots, and charming local attractions. The North Shore is a mix of adventure, relaxation, and local culture, making it a must-do when visiting Oahu Marvel at world-famous surf spots Banzai Pipeline, Waimea Bay, and Sunset Beach: These legendary beaches are known for their massive winter waves and professional surfing competitions. Even in the calmer summer months, they are great spots to watch surfers or enjoy the stunning shoreline

Visitors can enjoy world-famous beaches, watch expert surfers tackle massive waves, and explore the town's historic charm with its quaint wooden storefronts and local boutiques.

Our family of six adults flew over from Big Island to do the Pearl Harbour, Dole Plantation and Polynesian Cultural Centre tour. Our guide was Papa P. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient friendly, organized. We followed his advice and managed to have smooth enjoyable tour with many little extras and hidden gems! He loves his job and it’s certainly evident. We strongly encourage booking with PapaP and enjoyed the pace and order of the tour!

Johnny Aloha was our guide. My kids loved getting Johnny's tips for spotting sea turtles- and he delivered a spot where we saw at least a dozen! We also enjoyed his stories about surfing. We learned some Hawaiian phrases and he took us to some places with the best snacks - ask about the malasadas!
The best tour guide we have ever experienced!

Johnny Aloha was witty and gave the history of the island as well as teaching us how to say Hawaiian words and town names. He took us by the pipeline waves as the competition was starting. He answered all of our questions. He also took us off the beaten path to go through a very scenic drive. He always gave clear directions to make all of our stops memorable. We also loved how he ordered ahead at Tamake Shrimp so we just walked up to get our meal and beat the crowd. If you can pick your tour guide, pick Johnny Aloha. You will not be disappointed! He is amazing!
Best Tour of our trip!
