This tour is not what we expected. We (party of 9) were picked up at the location specified by our driver. He drove us to Pearl Harbor (around 10am arrival) and we were walked to security and then we were on our own. I didn't realize that we would not have him inside the park, I read later that tour guides were not allowed in the National Park. Please note that you cannot bring a purse in the park unless it is small and clear. Please check for the rules before you go. We were told to meet back at the parking lot at 3:30. Tickets to the Arizona were given to us, we had a 11:30 time slot, tickets are free, and tickets to the Bowfin submarine ($22.00ea) It was more than enough time in the park. Our driver was a chauffeur and not so much a tour guide. We would have appreciated the option of notifying him that we were finished with the park. We did not need 5 hrs. We had a soda or water and a granola bar as a snack. The national cemetery is only a drive through, we couldn't get out and walk around. Disappointing. In the description of What's included, says a t-shirt is a special gift. I thought we would all get a shirt, we got one. We drove through Honolulu saw what was on the list of things to see, stopped by the Golden statue of King Kamehameha the Great. Was taken back to the port. This was an expensive tour, 2395.00 for 9 people. I don't feel this was worth the money. I can't understand why this was so expensive when the Park is free and we had a short tour after. We used Viator in Hilo ( Valcano's National Park) and that tour was outstanding. It was 1000.00 less.
About Activity
Are you someone who does not like wasting precious vacation time and does not want to deal with sitting on a tour bus with 30-60 other people? Then our private Tour of Pearl Harbor, Arizona Memorial, Bowfin Submarine, and a short Honolulu city tour is just the tour you need. Instead of extensive group tours with a bus with around 50-60 people, why not ride to Pearl Harbor in a comfortable, private minivan that will take you directly to Pearl Harbor? Our professional chauffeur speaks fluent English and will take you to Pearl Harbor National Memorial.
Once you have arrived at the Pearl Harbor Visitor’s Center, our chauffeur will take and give you an orientation and provide you with the tickets for your tour.
With this tour, there is no need to get up before sunrise to stand in line with thousands of other people to see if you can get an Arizona Memorial ticket. Tickets for the USS Arizona Memorial, are included for you on this tour.

This was a wonderful half day trip! The history of Pearl Harbor is sobbing. Our driver had lots of knowledge, answered our questions and was very personable.
