Stop At: Pearl Harbor National Memorial, 1 Arizona Memorial Place, Honolulu, Oahu, HI 96818
We begin at historic Pearl Harbor where you will experience firsthand the earth-shattering events that catapulted the U.S. into World War II. Join us at the USS Arizona Memorial, a deeply moving and emotional experience where you will learn about the 1,177 seamen who perished when their battleship was sunk during the December 7, 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. You’ll witness the attack in a 23-minute documentary and then cross the harbor to the Memorial in a Navy vessel. At the Memorial, pay your respects to the heroes whose names are etched in marble in the Shrine Room. Look into the water and note the oil droplets – “The Black Tears of the Arizona” – that continue to escape the sunken battleship and rise to the harbor surface. Back at Pearl Harbor Visitor Center, there will be time to visit the WWII museum exhibits and the bookshop.

We rushed through Dole and the trip misrepresented the length of time at attractions. 13 minutes at file and the driver just get kickbacks the way he stops at places to make you spend money l.

Rick was awesome! He did a really great job on taking us to all things Hawaii! Even though you don’t get much time at each stop (except the Polynesian center), you have plenty of time to experience each place! You won’t go hungry or thirsty as there’s so much to eat and drink on this tour! Not to mention all of the souvenirs you can get along the way! Great day overall and would do again.

Pearl Harbor was amazing.
Our tour guide was the best!
The tour company should include lunch, snacks and water like other tours do.
Other than that- an amazing day!!!

Our tour guide, Rick, made the entire experience memorable. He was extremely knowledgeable as to this host of every stop we visited, especially Pear Harbor, which was the highlight of the tour. He was very accommodating and provided great suggestions throughout the tour, in the event we came back and explored in depth some of the sites.
Would highly recommend this tour to everyone, especially if your fortunate enough to have Rick leading your tour.

Enjoyed the trip up the north coast. Stopping at a few local spots was great fun. The Polynesian Cultural Center was superb. I’m f course the venue sit to Pearl Harbor and being on the Arizona Memorial was unforgettable. Our tour guide, Rick was top notch

Excursion was nice but the description did not match what we did for the day. We stopped at the Dole Planatation only enough time to run in and shop and make on the bus. Then we had to give a lunch order at a shrimp place when the description read there was a BBQ. I asked the bus driver and he told me that changed since COVID and I told him shouldn't it up updated by now? No response.
We had a nice time but were a bit disappointed we didn't get to do all we were thinking and lunch was a disappoinment as well because 2 of the 4 of us traveling do not eat fish.
