The National Cemetery of the Pacific, located in the serene Punchbowl Crater in Honolulu, Hawaii, stands as one of America’s most sacred and beautiful memorials.

Convenient and efficient but not really a tour. Tour company simply provides your tickets. Communication regarding the itinerary was lacking and it would be helpful to have a printed copy rather than oral instructions from the bus driver.
Aloha Jill, So sorry you felt the communication wasn't adequate. I am forwarding this to a supervisor immediately so that we can make changes as you suggested. Mahalo for letting us know!
Ryan our driver and guide made it a great tour! The tour was especially memorable for me because I was in the army! I also lived on Oahu growing up so o had a special fondness for the the island, the military and the event that occurred!
Aloha Gilbert! Mahalo nui loa for the lovely 5 star review and kudos to Ryan! He's pretty amazing! So glad that Ryan's "aloha" vibe, plus of course the nostaligia being on overdrive, created such a great time. Pearl Harbor is a truly amazing place... sad, yet reverent. The respect felt there is found in very few places on earth. Maybe the coast of Brittany where D Day occurred? That is comparable (we took our children there a few years ago and they mentioned it created similar feelings as Pearl Harbor did for them). We absolutely look forward to helping you create your next 5 star Hawaiian adventure vacation. So many islands, so much to see, eat and do... it's almost impossible to do it all in just one trip ~ but you can try! Be sure to book ASAP to lock in the best pricing ~ a hui hou!
I loved our trip. Everything was seamless and handled for us. All we had to do was enjoy!
Aloha DayTrip! Mahalo nui loa for your lovely review! We're over the moon that you had such an amazing time! We've recently purchased HawaiiTours.com and have been making changes as we go to ensure every guest has the best possible experience. We love details... they help us keep the bar high! We very much look forward to helping you create your next 5 star Hawaiian adventure vacation. Be sure to book ASAP to lock in the very best pricing ~ a hui hou!
Jay was great. Went above and beyond, since our pick up at hotel was wrong. Made the tour and Jay was very acomadating and knowledgeable about everything we passed by and more.
Aloha Cheryl! Mahalo nui loa for the 5 stars and kudos to Jay!! So sorry for any issues regarding the pick up. (We recently bought HawaiiTours.com and are working through a few glitches in the system.) We've been working on making every guest experience their "best day ever" on vacation. SO if there is anything else we can improve upon, please let us know. We are over the moon that you had such a great time... and, we agree that Jay is Da Man! He's such a great ambassador of Hawai'i. Guests love his demeanor, knowledge, sense of humor and, most importantly his aloha. (We will, however, forward this review to a supervisor so that the pick up issue is addressed.) We very much look forward to helping you create your next 5 star Hawaiian dream vacation. Be sure to book ASAP and lock in the best pricing ~ a hui hou!

Our driver was Momo, and she was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and reverent towards the tour stops. On our way to Pearl Harbor, we drove thru Waikiki. Once at Pearl, we went to the Ranger presentation and then headed over to the Arizona memorial. What a feeling just standing there, so close to history. After leaving there, we went to the battleship Missouri, where we toured the ship. What struck me most was the immense firepower on that ship. I was impressed with its history and all the campaigns it participated in. We left there and toured some other parts of Waikiki, King Kamehameha statue and various other local sites. This is a great tour to take! Thank you, Momo!
Aloha Keith! Mahalo for taking the time to tell us what you really enjoyed most. It really helps us fine tune the tour. And yes, we agree... Momo is wonderful!!! Pearl Harbor is one of the most well preserved monument sites in the entire US and it really hits home. (We get goose bumps or "chicken skin" as we say in Hawaii, every time we go there.) We are so fortunate that it has been kept up and is revered by everyone living in Hawaii. We're so glad you enjoyed the rest of the tour as well. It was our pleasure to show you the best of Hawaii and we look forward to your next adventure with us! A hui hou!
Vee. What can I say about her. She was absolutely amazing at putting together our package. I highly recommend her! Our Hawaii tour was truly unforgettable, with each destination offering something unique and meaningful. Pearl Harbor was an emotional and powerful experience. The exhibits were deeply moving and incredibly well-presented, giving a real sense of the history and sacrifice connected to this site. The USS Arizona Memorial was especially impactful — a must-visit for anyone coming to Oʻahu. Kualoa Ranch was an absolute highlight. The scenery alone is stunning, but the activities take it to another level. Whether it was the movie site tour, ATV rides, or exploring the lush valleys, everything was well-organized and packed with fun. The guides were knowledgeable and made the entire experience even better. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, we were immersed in the traditions and stories of the Pacific Islands. Each village offered hands-on activities and cultural demonstrations, and the evening show was phenomenal — easily one of the best on the island. It’s not just entertainment; it’s a chance to learn and connect with rich Polynesian heritage. Overall, each stop offered something special, and together they made for a perfect balance of history, adventure, and culture. Highly recommended for anyone traveling to Hawaii
Aloha Laurie! Mahalo for all of the kind words and fantastic review! Yes, Vee is a-mazing! So glad you really enjoyed yourselves and we can't wait to see you again! Mahalo Nui Loa!
Loved working with Jenn from Hawaii Tours, it was a wonderful family vacation. We booked several tours beginning with Pearl Harbor. We visited the USS ARIZONA and it really touched my heart to see this beautiful memorial in person and remember all of the young men who lost their lives when Pearl Harbor was bombed. This site is keep very clean and represents all of the Military Power that was tested on that day. God Bless America, may she shine on us all, and may we never forget those who gave all. Debbie Casey
Aloha Casey! Thank you for the great feedback on your experience. It was fun having you with us, and we hope to see you again soon!
