Pearl Harbor/Honolulu was a must see tour for us and it did not disappoint. Our guide Danny (aka Handsome) was engaging, knowledgeable and very flexible to make the most of our time with him. He went over and above when I left my phone in the van, delivering it quickly back to us. We were well cared for!

We went out for the day with Host Vetti to tour Pearl Harbor, a quick city tour of o'ahu and the surrounding areas then ended with the battleship Missouri. We were well taken care of, on time and we'll informed everywhere we went! Highly recommend these guys! Ask for Vetti, he's awesome!

Our family took the Pearl Harbor tour and I wish the tour was a little longer. Through no fault of this company, you are only allowed 15 minutes on the Arizona memorial and we would have liked more time there. We also could have used more time at the Missouri. Our driver/guide was Will and, while friendly, very hard to understand. The speaker was loud enough when parked but when driving, and with as fast as he talked, it was near impossible to understand what he was saying

I had an amazing time with Hawaii Tours, especially the submarine tour — it was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth, well-organized, and so much fun. The staff was friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. Being able to explore the ocean depths and see marine life up close was absolutely surreal — like stepping into another world. The views were breathtaking, and the narration provided great insights into the underwater ecosystem around Hawaii. This was definitely a highlight of my trip and something I would recommend to anyone visiting the islands. Thank you, Hawaii Tours, for making this such a memorable adventure!

The Pearl Harbor tour packs a lot in! I especially enjoyed walking through the submarine and the USS Missouri, and grabbing some yummy malasadas to go from a food truck! The driver (Ozzy) was organized and personable. It would be nice to have had a bit more time at the war plane museum and hangars.

We did the entire Pearl Harbor Tour along with the National Cemetery of the Pacific and downtown Honolulu. It was AMAZING! It was a long day, but it's incredibly moving and so interesting. Our guide and driver was Noelani. She is a delightful person. My family of five enjoyed her so much. She is very knowledgeable of Pearl Harbor and Oahu in general. She imparted lots of very interesting information. I can't say it enough. She is delightful. She brightened the day. I highly recommend the tour. We were told by a friend that Pearl Harbor was easy without a tour guide. I'm so glad we splurged on the tour. There is a lot and you have to be certain places at certain times. I appreciated Noelani keeping us on track and explaining things to us. If you're on fence, do the tour! You won't regret it.

My husband and I went in the Pearl Harbor, USS Arizona, and Battleship Missouri 7-hour tour and it did not disappoint. Wil was our tour guide/driver and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable of the island, gave recommendations of the tour and things to do during the visit. He brought knowledge and humor which made the tour more pleasant. Highly recommended!

My son and I had the most memorable wonderful Hawaii trip ever with Hawaii tours. Hawaii tours has some incredible people especially Gordon on the road to Hana tour. We stayed in Maui and also did a Pearl harbor trip or tour. I highly recommend using the great people here at Hawaii tours. Jen got everything set up so perfectly and answered every question we had.

We booked our honeymoon through Hawaiian Tours. It was amazing. Great communication. Drivers were always early, very respectful and knowledgable about the islands. All the tours were great and the luau was amazing. We even sat front row and were VIP guests. We will definitely book again. Donovan and Brandon did a great job. 5 stars for both of then. Donovan drove us twice and was great both times.
