The tour gave us a good overall knowledge of Pearl Harbor and the town area. Our guide Kanoe was excellent and she gave us a lot of interesting and helpful information. She was one of the best tour guides ever!

The information that was given to us by our guide was absolutely excellent. The best part of this tour was the part after the visit to the Arizona memorial. Our guide took us on a tour of the city. He pointed out many different things as we went along, it was a great addition to the tour.

I can not sing your praises enough!!!, September 01, 2009
Reviewer: Sharon McMillen from

I want to thank you for going beyond the call of duty. We wanted to book our Pearl Harbor tour before the cruise with NCL, which they offer after the cruise. We had a scheduling problem and we were only going to be able to see Pearl Harbor if we could get it arranged before we got on the ship. I called other tour companies in Hawaii before finding your company and no one was willing to work with us. From the moment I explained the issue with your company you started trying to figure out how to make it work, even though our hotel was not a part of your regular route. Within 24 hours you had a plan and it worked!!! We had to pay more but that was OK with us, we knew we were asking for something out of the ordnary. Cowboy was there right on time, he was great!!! About half way through the tour Cowboy and Kanoe switched tours, and she was just as great. They were both very informed on the tours, knew everyone by name, and was willing to do anything within reason to make the tour better.

I can not sing your praises enough!!! I would recommend your company to anyone, and go so far as to tell them they would be crazy to consider anyone for tours in Hawaii other than you.

Thank you so much for making our vacation one of the best!!!

At first I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to go on this tour. If I had known what the tour entailed, I would have signed up immediately. The Memorial was very good. It was worthwhile. My children and I absolutely loved seeing the Missouri. It was just so much fun for all of us. No one had any idea how wonderful this tour was going to be. The guide was knowledgeable. He was very good and the city tour was interesting.

Great Tour! I would highly recommend this tour to see the sights of Pearl Harbor. Our tour guide, Art, was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and charismatic. The tour course is very logical and well planned. Another benefit is that there is no dead time spent waiting between tour destinations, the day went by so fast.
