Highlights
- Pearl Harbor National Memorial - 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.

DJ Johnny Aloha!!! - Johnny is the best your guide on the island without a doubt. Mr. Aloha is funny, informative, and has the best shuffle playlist from a purple haired former pro surfer that I’ve ever heard. If you like laughs, Bruno mars, and being constantly assured that you are beating the traffic, than Johnny is the guide for you!
10/10, would ride with DJ Johnny anytime.

Aloha Johnny is all Sunshine - Excellent day!! Last minute change of location, no address given, but contact/ communication superb after that. Aloha Johnny is all sunshine, informative, taught Hawaiian pronunciation, gave timely updates about destinations and durations- kept us on schedule without rushing(well planned) and then even included bonus stops and dinner recommendations. Pickup and drop off alone worth the money.

Pearl Harbor, Dole Plantation, and PCC - Anthony treMendez was an amazing guide. He offered a quick stop for breakfast, had reasonable timing for tour stops, and offered local insights throughout the tour. Oahu is a beautiful island and this tour satisfied a handful of the "must sees". I highly recommend this tour, particularly with this guide!

Good overall experience - The Pearl Harbour stop was excellent, although the guide gave no instructions to us about the opportunities there. We had visited the day before and did a full tour - so it was fine for us - but the other people missed out on the film as they were not told about it.
A good overall experience except for the Dole Plantation. We were only given 30 minutes there - which is not enough time to see the plantation. The train ride takes 30 minutes and you have to wait in line to purchase a ticket. It is not included. So all you get to do is visit the gift shop. This stop for us was a total waste of time.
The Polynesian Cultural Center was wonderful, but again - not enough time to see it all. I suggest this be offered on its own so that you can see the whole thing.
