The experience was awesome! Wish we could have had a little more time at each thing but overall it was excellent. Price was well worth it.

Very professional tour company
Great experience, lots of info and great tour guide Rey! Highly recommend!
Everything was great. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Rey was awesome never a wasted moment! Every opportunity to inform about the area to and from Pearl Harbor was utilized!
We had Rey as our driver/guide. Sooo knowledgeable and informative. The tour was well worth it, but the icing on our cake was having Rey! He made our entire experience extra special! REY is Spanish for King, and he is the King of tour guides! Thanks, Rey for such a wonderful experience 😊
Price was fair. Our drive was very professional and gave great details on the area.
This was an awesome time, and so much worth it.
Rey, the driver/tour guide was excellant as was the experience. Everything was planned for us and ran smoothly.
Rey our driver was amazing, funny and knowledgeable. Picked up on time with no hassle. Seats were comfortable and nicely air conditioned as it was a hot day. Could have had more time on the Missouri but that’s just a minor complaint. Food was lovely and plenty of it. I had seconds! Highly recommend this tour
Rey was a great driver and share quite a bit of information as we travelled around, very nice and watch for everyone to return to bus
Rey our driver was awesome and knowledgeable He rocked! Good tour thank you.
We really enjoyed Nick and the entire Island tour. Nick’s knowledge, personality, Island history sharing was a great way to top off a wonderful week in Hawaii!! Highly recommend as end of trip tour and airport transportation.
We had the best group of people on our small tour. Thank you to them all for the conversation and laughs. My husband and I are typically self guided and this was our first group tour. Rey got us through the traffic beautifully and pointed out so many things we never would have learned on our own. Pearl Harbor was as beautiful, somber and moving as we had always assumed. Felt honored to pay tribute.
Standing in the middle of the Arizona memorial was a time I will never forget.
From the moment we stepped on the bus right through to the end, well organised, informative, so nice to have lunch provided - great tour, Rei full of local knowledge, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
Great tour with driver, Rey! Very accommodating and knowledgeable, my wife and I had an amazing day of it!
This was a complete Pearl Harbor experience! You will not be disappointed. The bus was clean and modern…super comfortable. There is a bathroom on the bus…important if traveling with kids. The driver and tour guide was prompt and we stayed in schedule the entire day. Kimeke’o was the best! Great historian and storyteller. Funny, entertaining and heartwarming humor. My whole family enjoyed it — including my 9 and 10 year old kids. Great tour of all the important landmarks you would want to see at Pearl Harbor. Kimeke’o made it a super day!
Best tour bus tour I have ever taken. It was interesting and educational
We had a great family experience visiting Pearl Harbor with Polynesian Adventure. The tour was well organized from start to finish, and our guide was friendly (Lehua was outstanding driver and tour guide!!!) knowledgeable, and made the day both interesting and enjoyable. It was a meaningful experience for our whole family and a great way to visit such an important historic site. The only downside was the food. Unfortunately, it was pretty disappointing and definitely could have been better, especially considering the overall quality of the tour. Aside from that, we really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend Polynesian Adventure to families visiting Pearl Harbor.
Excellent tour!!! Well worth the money. Rey was exceptional. Really enjoyed. Must book!!
Fantastic Tour of Pearl Harbor. The guide was very thorough. Had a great day.
The day was great from pick up to drop off. Rey was a great tour guide and was also very helpful with all aspects of our tour. Highly recommended.
Rey was a fabulous tour guide. The day was very enjoyable!!
Rey was very friendly and knowledgeable! He made our experience an unforgettable day!
Wonderful experience from start to finish. Rey was amazing and super knowledgeable. Enjoyed the small group aspect.
Rey our tour guide made all the difference. He was very informative, funny and kind. Food was very good we enjoyed it all. The city tour was unexpected from the description online but it was really interesting. Made for a very full day with so much information. The USS Arizona felt rushed at the memorial ( I think like 15 minutes before being told to get back inline to go back on the boat). Enough time at the other attractions. We will recommend to others!
It was very fun and our guide was awesome. And the lunch was amazing! 5 stars
The whole day was excellent, and the family really enjoyed it. Mo was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide and driver.
I booked directly with Pearl Harbor and the tour is operated by Polynesian Adventure. For about $250, you get to see just about everything: naval ferry to the USS Arizona Memorial grave, multiple Pearl Harbor Visitor Center exhibits including a virtual reality video, actual film footage of the attack in a movie theater, go inside the WWII Bowfin Submarine, Stroll the grounds with guided audio and visit the Remembrance Circle, Japanese Kaiten “suicide sub”, a 35 minute Guided deck tour of USS Missouri battleship with time to explore inside the ship as well, including locations of WWII surrender ceremony, office and crew quarters, artillery, kamikaze aircraft crash, and also halfway through the tour around 12:00 there was Delicious buffet style lunch (pulled pork, bbq chicken, salad, rice, juice, water) at Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum and exploration of two hangars with so many helicopters, trucks, and airplanes. You can go inside the cockpit of one of the airplanes at no extra cost. You can meet the CEO of the aviation museum who is a retired Blue Angels pilot and ask him questions. There is, for an extra fee of $11, an option to ride a flight simulator at the aviation museum and for $10 an option to go up into the flight tower maybe 10 stores high so you can see the entire Pearl Harbor all at once from above. The tour guide bus driver Chelsie was awesome, fun, helpful, very very very informative of Hawaiian culture, and provided complementary shortbread snacks and cold water for everyone throughout the 8 hour long trip. Make sure you eat breakfast, wear sunscreen, close toed shoes for 5 miles of walking (most of the trip is handicap friendly if you have a cane or walker but obviously not the exploration of the submarine and battleship due to tight spaces with ladders), and have your phone fully charged for many photos. Make sure you have your ID just in case they ask for it. Do not bring excess items; read the rules of what is/not allowed. This is a must do while in Oahu.
Chase was great he knew lots of history on the island. Good to have access to so many places and well done on avoiding the crowds. A very moving and interesting experience. Definitely recommend it. Lunch was good.
We started our tour on 1st May and not really knowing what to expect - then we met with “Mo”, our driver and tour guide for the day… Mo made us feel very comfortable and at ease from the very moment we met - she even brought banana bread and chilled water - we hadn’t had breakfast and this was a very welcome treat. Mo is a very talented lady and her knowledge of Hawaii and Pearl Harbour was amazing, it was delivered with flair and humour, this kept us entertained and informed. The Pearl Harbour is a very special site, loaded with enormous history and, when explained through the other tours guides on the watchtower and the Missouri & the Arizona battleship, it can become a deeply emotional experience. We were delighted and humbled to experience this tour with Mo. Declan & Bernadette Walsh Ireland
Carnival cruise line passenger.....Kimoke'o was fabulous with his history and comical narration. Best of Honolulu tour....
This was a great tour. We enjoyed it a lot. Our tour guide was Mo and she was very knowledgeable and did a great job. My kids loved hearing the history from her and the lunch food was very good. I highly recommend this tour
Went on the top of the tower tour. Got a good view of Ford Island from the observation deck. Hawaiian buffet lunch, Been to the Missouri and the Arizona before, so just did a simple walk-through.
Good good and knowledgeable.
Rey was exceptional! Great tour! He was very knowledgeable and kept the whole day interesting. 10/10 recommend this tour.
The Pearl Harbor tour was a deeply moving and unforgettable experience. Everything was well-organized, and the guides shared powerful stories that brought history to life. It’s a meaningful visit that I highly recommend to anyone coming to Hawaii.
Our tour guide was so awesome. Mo gave a great tour and was friendly. Our whole family had a great experience.
Efficient and pleasant way to see all of the major attractions. Tour guide was nice but very casual and did not provide the depth of Pearl Harbor context that I expected from description of the tour and the reviews. He was more of a shuttle driver and facilitator than a tour guide. fortunately, the park service rangers did provide very good tours. It was not clear to me from the start that the tour guide/driver is not allowed to join to provide on site tours of the key sites. It is prohibited.
Great experience - tour guide was outstanding
This was an awesome tour! Rey, our tour guide was def a 10+! So knowledgeable and nice. Do convenient definitely well worth the adventure
The experience at Pearl Harbor was very somber. It was a great experience but somber. Definitely gives you a whole knew outlook on the menu & women in the arm forces. I just wish we had more time. We did feel a bit rushed. We wanted to stop at souvenir shop but had no time.
Great experience. Driver very informative and personable. Had for 3 days, was great 👍!
Instructions from the company were easy to understand. Pick up and drop off from nearby hotel. Pearl Harbour experience was truely memorable. Museums, boat ride to the Arizona memorial, lunch then aircraft hangar and fire station. The short tour of the deck of the Missouri was very informative. Make sure you head up to the bridge first. We went below and with so much to see, we didn’t have time for the bridge. The lunch was also a buffet. Very top notch tour and great value for money.
This tour was thoroughly enjoyable. The tour guide gave us a personal experience and even brought snacks
Our tour host (bus driver) Lehua was an Oahu native and seemed very knowledgeable. Was full of interesting facts and figures right until she dropped us off at the end. Having now completed this tour there are definite pros and cons. The guides can’t go into the sites so they really only facilitate getting you there but it meant we were conveniently picked up and dropped off and didn’t have to arrange our own tickets to the various sites. However it also meant you had to stick to their timetable. We were happy with time allowed but others might not be. You can definitely do it cheaper yourself and have more flexibility but we were thankful to have it sorted for us and guidance given on what to do first etc,
Today we did Kaula Ranch, Tropical Farms Macadamia Nuts, and Byodo-In Temple. It was a great experience and a fun day. Was able to see different film sites at Kaula Ranch.
A full day at Pearl Harbor that was perfectly planned out for us. Mo was our tour guide and she was awesome. She regaled us with interesting historical stories every time we were on the bus. She gave us tips about what to do and see at each stop. Highly recommend.
Our guide Mo shared very interesting historic and local stories. Made our trip very meaningful. We had the perfect amount of time at every spot.
